- Lead the Engineering Enablement team strategy: define the highest-leverage opportunities to improve developer velocity, quality, and engineering effectiveness.
- Own the team's roadmap and execution: make priorities clear, drive decisions to closure, and ensure the team is delivering against meaningful outcomes.
- Build and improve the tools, workflows, and platform capabilities that help engineers develop, test, validate, and ship software more effectively.
- Treat internal platform work as a product: understand user needs, shape the right solutions, drive adoption, and measure success through velocity and quality improvements.
- Advance the team's AI-native bets: make Hinge's codebase and systems operable by agents, and build the validation infrastructure that lets faster development translate into faster, safe product impact.
- Raise the technical bar on the team through strong engineering judgment, clear standards, and credible involvement in architecture and design discussions.
- Grow and manage the engineers on the team, including coaching, performance management, hiring, and development of future technical and people leaders.
- Partner across Platform and with product engineering leaders to make shared work legible, coordinated, and effective.
- Represent Engineering Enablement clearly to the broader engineering organization: what it owns, what it enables, and how teams should engage with it.
What We're Looking For
- A track record of leading engineering teams, or equivalent experience driving execution and technical direction as a senior technical leader.
- Strong product instincts for internal platforms, with a clear focus on user value, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
- Experience improving developer workflows, engineering productivity, quality systems, build and release processes, or related platform capabilities.
- Strong technical depth across some combination of developer tooling, CI/CD, distributed systems, async and event-driven systems (streaming, workflow orchestration, queues), testing, or engineering productivity infrastructure.
- The ability to balance near-term delivery with longer-term platform investment and technical quality.
- Strong people leadership, including direct feedback, coaching, performance management, and development of engineers at different levels.
- Comfort working across team boundaries and driving progress through partnership, clarity, and influence.
- A practical, outcome-oriented mindset and a bias toward making engineers more effective through simple, durable solutions.

The Company
What We Do
In today’s digital world, singles are so focused on sending likes and looking through profiles that they’re not actually building meaningful connections and going on dates. Hinge is on a mission to change that by designing the most effective app experience. We want to create a less lonely world by inspiring intimate, in-person connections. Relationships are at the core of everything we do. And not just the romantic kind. We can't accomplish really hard things alone - so we make great relationships the foundation of our teamwork. We believe these three core values are what it takes to build those great relationships: Authenticity, we share - never hide - our words, actions, and intentions. Courage, breakthroughs require a willingness to take risks and embrace lofty goals and tough challenges. Empathy, we're all humans first. So we deeply consider the perspectives of others, listen openly, and speak with care.
Why Work With Us
We're mission-driven. While most apps think about boosting sessions and time on app, we think strategically about meaningful end results (dates and relationships). We're culture-first. We believe in great people over process. Decisions are pushed to the front lines, with feedback and coaching provided by our leaders.
