Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Build and ship features across Babylist’s iOS and Android apps, owning the full development lifecycle from specification to production deployment.
• Lead the mobile build-out of Babylist’s new education experience, including classes, content, and resources for families preparing for parenthood.
• Drive performance improvements on both iOS and Android platforms by identifying root causes of bottlenecks, not just surface-level symptoms.
• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code while holding the team to high standards through code reviews and architectural guidance.
• Collaborate directly with product managers and designers to translate complex requirements into intuitive, high-fidelity mobile interfaces — actively participating in decision-making, not receiving finalized specs.
• Partner with backend and full-stack engineers to influence API design and cross-platform architecture, bringing a mobile-first perspective to system-wide decisions.
• Apply deep expertise in either Swift (iOS) or Kotlin (Android), with solid working knowledge of the other platform and the ability to articulate tradeoffs between them.
• Implement mobile UI components using SwiftUI and/or Jetpack Compose, UIKit, Auto Layout, and Jetpack Libraries — building in code rather than relying on configuration alone.
• Leverage AI tools daily as a natural part of the engineering workflow to accelerate prototyping, explore design tradeoffs, generate boilerplate code, and focus human judgment on high-impact decisions.
• Use established mobile architecture patterns (MVVM, MVC, etc.) strategically based on project needs, not habit or convention.
• Interpret Figma designs accurately, push back on impractical mobile implementations, and bridge the gap between design intent and technical execution.
• Ship consumer-facing mobile products to millions of real users with a strong focus on user experience, not just functional correctness or test coverage.
• Contribute to a modern, actively maintained codebase without spending months on legacy debt — enabling immediate impact on high-priority, revenue-generating features.
• Work within a remote-first team across the U.S. and Canada, with biannual in-person gatherings to strengthen collaboration and culture.

🎯 Requirements

• Build production-quality iOS or Android apps in Swift or Kotlin
• Fluent in mobile architecture patterns such as MVVM or MVC
• Expertise in SwiftUI and/or Jetpack Compose, UIKit, Auto Layout, or Jetpack Libraries
• Have shipped consumer-facing mobile products to real users
• Naturally integrate AI tools into daily engineering workflows
• Collaborate effectively with designers, product managers, and backend engineers

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary ranging from $193,805 to $232,566 with equity and bonus opportunities
• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts
• Generous paid parental leave and PTO
• Remote work stipend to set up your home office
• Perks for physical, mental, and emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning
