- 3+ years experience working in dbt, ideally in a production environment with CI/CD and testing as a well established core principle
- Comfortable working across the full stack: Sigma, dbt, Snowflake, Airflow, Python (or similar tools)

- We’re looking for someone eager to deepen their craft, build trust through high-quality work, and help shape how we use data to drive impact.
- You bring a thoughtful approach to balancing long-term quality with near-term value, and you’re motivated by making meaningful contributions that earn influence over time

Our take
Since its 2011 launch, Babylist has grown into one of the most highly rated baby registries in the US. The difference it offers is that it allows users to include products from any store in their registries. On top of this, the company’s model also focuses heavily on creating informational content, which allows it to generate ad revenue while building customer loyalty.
Originally scaled with fairly low venture funding, Babylist claims half of new parents in the US now use its services. This, given that the baby products industry is worth close to $90 billion, shows the immense growth of the company as well as speaking to the impact it has made in the space.
Babylist has seen strong funding in the past which fuelled projects such as the launch of virtual showrooms, and facilitated the company's expansion further into the market. The company acquired Expectful, a health and wellness tool, in 2023 with the long-term vision to combine the companies into a larger health and wellness media property, that can help people navigate all parts of parenthood from fertility to diapers.
