[Remote] Senior Data Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Babylist is the leading platform for expecting and new families, and they are seeking a Senior Data Engineer to enhance their data infrastructure. The role involves building scalable data pipelines, designing automated systems for data engineering, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to support data-driven decision-making.

Responsibilities

• Build and scale data pipelines for ingestion into Snowflake — with a focus on reliability and performance across a $750M+ e-commerce business
• Design and ship the agentic systems that perform data engineering work — pipeline generation, testing, and maintenance as automated systems, not one-off builds
• Develop and maintain ML pipelines that help data scientists operationalize models and integrate them with our data infrastructure
• Implement and improve data monitoring across complex, multi-system user journeys
• Collaborate with Analytics Engineers on data modeling and the reliability of shared data assets
• Partner with product, analyst, and ML teams to deliver end-to-end data solutions — from ingestion to advanced analytics and AI

Skills

• Experienced building production AI/LLM systems — RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, tool integrations (e.g., MCP servers) that real users depend on, not just prototypes
• Platform-minded — you see repetitive data engineering work as a system design problem and build the scaffolding to automate it
• Deeply fluent in Python and production-grade data engineering, with 7+ years building systems that hold up at scale
• Proficient with Airflow and dbt — you understand data modeling and ETL principles, not just the tooling
• Comfortable in AWS — you've provisioned and managed cloud data resources across EC2, S3, Lambda, and EKS
• Familiar with Snowflake or comparable modern cloud data warehouses
• Able to work cross-functionally with analysts and data scientists — translating their needs into infrastructure that actually serves them
• You naturally reach for AI in your work — at Babylist, every team uses AI daily. You're already using it to move faster and improve your output, and you stay curious about what's coming next
• You're genuinely excited about what AI can do - not just as a concept, but as something you want to get your hands on

Benefits

• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts
• Generous paid parental leave and PTO
• Winter Wonder Week: the whole company takes a paid week off at the end of the year, whether or not you celebrate anything, so everyone's out at once and comes back refreshed
• Remote work stipend to set up your office
• Perks for physical, mental, and emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning
