Principal Technical Recruiter
What the Role Is
Babylist is at an inflection point: $750M in revenue, expanding into new verticals, and building the teams that will take us there. You will own Babylist’s most complex and strategically important technical roles, including senior, staff, and director-level engineers, principal product managers, and emerging AI/Builder profiles. You are a trusted advisor who sets the standard for excellent technical recruiting: calibrated, opinionated, and grounded in a genuine understanding of Babylist’s culture and how our technical teams’ work drives our long-term goals. Day to day, this is a mix of targeted full-cycle recruiting and team-level infrastructure work, partnering directly with engineering directors and product leaders as a thought partner, not a service function. Our focus is on quality: building candidate relationships over years, probing deeply enough in screens to distinguish candidates who owned an outcome from those who sat near it, and navigating offers with confidence and first-principles comp strategy.
Who You Are
- Technical fluency to probe engineering impact in a screen. You can speak the language with top technical talent and distinguish between elite technologists and strong subject matter experts.
- 10+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting
