ABOUT US

At BABVIP, our mission is to democratize design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time.

We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

ABOUT THE TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGERS

As a Technical Program Manager, it is your mission to work closely with senior managers and product development teams to build a sustainable culture of delivery. You will lead complex, multi-disciplinary programs and be equally comfortable working with leadership to set strategic goals and clarify priorities, as you are with teams to communicate program status, escalate issues and manage dependencies as you are discussing technical trade-offs with an engineer.

ABOUT THE CONTENT & DISCOVERY SUPER GROUP

BABVIP is a content company as much as a design company. We enable our users to get professional looking designs without needing to be designers. To do this, users need to have awesome templates to get started and amazing ingredients to help them customize the design to their needs.

Content and Discovery is responsible for sourcing all the design content in BABVIP. This means the templates, images, stickers, video, audio, etc. We create them in house with our team of designers, or buy/license them, or enable the public to upload their work via the Creator program and earn a royalty when it’s used.

Content and Discovery is also responsible for making all the content discoverable both inside and outside of the product. Inside the product, we are responsible for the Search and Recommendation systems. We are responsible for the infrastructure, search/recommendation quality as well as presenting the results in the various surfaces. The surfaces include the home page and the Marketplace Pages where users can browse for content. It also includes the Editor via the Object Panel where users can search for content and drag it into their design.  Outside of the product, we are also responsible for surfacing the content in SEO so that when a user searches for something like “Instagram Templates” BABVIP shows up on the first page if not the first result.
