The Role
The role involves designing and maintaining backend services, leading technical projects, and mentoring engineers while ensuring platform scalability and reliability.
Summary Generated by Built In
The Core Platform Team within E&E (Evergreen & Emerging Brands) builds and maintains the foundational services, tools, and systems that power some of the most iconic and innovative brands in the dating industry-including Match, Meetic, BLK, OkCupid, Upward, Yuzu, and more. We design scalable, reliable, and secure backend platforms that enable product teams to deliver exceptional user experiences efficiently and consistently.
As a Senior Software Engineer II, you’ll take ownership of key platform systems, lead technical delivery for major initiatives, and collaborate with brand teams to drive scalability and performance across the Match ecosystem.

- Design, build, and maintain core backend services that support multiple Match Group brands.
- Collaborate closely with brand engineering teams to understand platform needs and deliver shared solutions.
- Lead technical design and implementation for major projects within the Core Platform domain.
- Contribute to platform scalability and reliability, ensuring high performance and availability.
- Mentor and support engineers on the team through code reviews, design discussions, and pairing.
- Champion best practices in code quality, observability, and test-driven development (TDD).
We could be a Match if you have:
- Strong experience in .NET Core / .NET 6+
- Deep understanding of REST API design, microservices, and distributed systems
- Experience with database design and optimization (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or similar)
- Skills translating product and business requirements into scalable technical designs
- The capability to break down complex problems into actionable, deliverable components
- Experience estimating effort and managing technical trade-offs in large systems
- Comfortability working across multiple repositories and large-scale codebases
- Ability to quickly learn and document unfamiliar systems for others’ use
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting abilities across service boundaries
- Proven ability to partner with Product Managers, Architects, and cross-functional peers
- Strong written communication for technical documentation and design proposals
- Experience presenting designs and gathering feedback
- Strong advocate for test-driven development (TDD) and continuous integration
- Experience integrating unit, integration, and end-to-end testing into CI/CD pipelines
- Designed systems that are testable, observable, and maintainable
- Ability to take ownership of validating work, not relying solely on QA teams
- Demonstrated experience leading projects end-to-end within a team or domain
- Experience mentoring mid-level and junior engineers and sharing best practices
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience with mobile development
- Understanding of mobile CI/CD pipelines and release processes
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.)
- Knowledge of observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry)
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)
- Understanding of domain-driven design (DDD) and clean architecture
- Experience building consumer-facing or platform-level systems at scale (millions of DAU)
- Experience supporting multi-brand or shared service environments is a plus
