Our Mission

Launched in 2012, Tinder® revolutionized how people meet, growing from 1 match to one billion matches in just two years. This rapid growth demonstrates its ability to fulfill a fundamental human need: real connection. Today, the app has been downloaded over 630 million times, leading to over 97 billion matches, serving approximately 50 million users per month in 190 countries and 45+ languages - a scale unmatched by any other app in the category. In 2024, Tinder won four Effie Awards for its first-ever global brand campaign, “It Starts with a Swipe”™

The Team:

You’ll join a cross-functional team, which is part of the broader Studios organization at Tinder, focused on building and scaling AI-powered, personalized experiences that redefine how people connect. The work goes beyond growth, with a focus on building AI-powered experiences that shape the future of connection on Tinder.

This Staff-level role will focus on both:
- Evolving existing AI-powered experiences to make them more impactful and member-centric.
- Designing systemic patterns and frameworks for how AI shows up across the entire Tinder product.

Where you’ll work:
This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week in San Francisco, Palo Alto, or Los Angeles.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead design for AI-enabled experiences — from prototyping new LLM-powered interactions to shipping end-to-end features.
  • Define the design language and frameworks for AI across Tinder, ensuring clarity, trust, and delight at scale.
  • Partner closely with PMs, researchers, and engineers to shape Tinder’s AI strategy and roadmap.
  • Champion ethical, inclusive, and responsible AI design, grounding decisions in research and member trust.
  • Mentor and coach designers, raising the craft bar and shaping a culture of curiosity and excellence.

You'll need:

  • Proven experience designing AI/LLM-powered products (consumer, SaaS, or enterprise).
  • Track record of leading large-scale, high-impact design initiatives that influenced company strategy.
  • Exceptional end-to-end design craft — from systems thinking to polished execution.
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills, able to inspire and align diverse stakeholders.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and fast iteration, balancing experimentation with long-term vision.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with growth-adjacent mechanics (conversion, retention, engagement).
  • SaaS or enterprise design experience (pricing tiers, entitlements, workflows) that demonstrates fluency with complexity.
  • Familiarity with emerging AI and vibecoding tools like Cursor, Loveable, Base44, or Figma Make.

As a Full-Time Employee, You’ll Enjoy:

  • Unlimited PTO (with no waiting period), 10 annual Wellness Days
  • Time off to volunteer and charitable donations matching 
  • Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage
  • 100% 401(k) employer match up to 10%, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
  • 100% paid parental leave (including for non-birthing parents), family forming benefits, and Milk Stork, which provides access to breast milk shipping for business travel, surrogacy, and employee relocation
  • Investment in your development: mentorship through our MentorMatch program, access to 6,000+ online courses through Udemy, and an annual stipend for your professional development
  • Investment in your wellness: access to mental health support via Modern Health, and Insight Timer; paid concierge medical membership, pet insurance, fitness membership subsidy, and commuter subsidy
  • Free premium subscriptions for several Match Group apps – including Tinder Platinum!

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.
