The Babylist Engineering team is involved in growing and scaling all aspects of our business. Data is at the core of what we do and a key area of investment in the future. Data is used to power our decision making all the way from user acquisition, content, to optimizing our supply chain. We will invest heavily in the coming years in making data more accessible to our internal teams and to leverage it to provide users with a more personalized registry, gifting, and shopping experience.
