About the role

  • This role is the authority on recommendations and discovery at Babylist.
  • You hold the quality bar, set the one-year horizon, and operate as the foremost expert on the space inside the company.
  • You shape how the whole company thinks about personalization.

Responsibilities

  • Your application and interviews should still reflect you and your own thinking.
  • These tools support our team's review; they do not replace it, and every hiring decision is made by a person.
  • Own recommendations and discovery at Babylist end-to-end.
  • As the company's definitive voice on ML and recommendations, you'll help leadership develop intuition for where ML compounds - what's table stakes, what's a real lever, and what to avoid.
  • You will make the case for where ML matters and build belief that gets the right bets funded.

Requirements

  • You are a demonstrated product leader who has spent meaningful time inside ML-powered consumer products.
  • You have owned a recommendation, personalization, and/or discovery surface end-to-end at scale - and you have the scar tissue to prove it.
  • You have shipped recommendations, search, ranking, or personalization systems in a consumer-facing product.
  • You know the failure modes and the diligence required to ship ML responsibly.
  • You know that early ML investment is about getting the right reps on a small number of bets, not shipping breadth.
  • You hold a strong, opinionated view of the product and you know when to update your priors.
  • Deep customer expertise.
  • You are fluent in the business.
  • You have intuition for what current models are good and bad at.
  • You are humble, low-ego, and biased toward action.

Nice to have

  • Strongly preferred: Background in e-commerce or marketplaces

Benefits

  • 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 office
