We work hand-in-hand, building Tinder for our members. We succeed together when we work collaboratively across functions, teams, and time zones, and think outside the box to achieve our company vision and mission.
Own It
We take accountability and strive to make a positive impact in all aspects of our business, through ownership, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
Never Stop Learning
We cultivate a culture where it’s safe to take risks. We seek out input, share honest feedback, celebrate our wins, and learn from our mistakes in order to continue improving.
Spark Solutions
We’re problem solvers, focusing on how to best move forward when faced with obstacles. We don’t dwell on the past or on the issues at hand, but instead look at how to stay agile and overcome hurdles to achieve our goals.
Embrace Our Differences
We are intentional about building a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members. By leveraging different perspectives and other ways of thinking, we build better experiences for our members and our team.
Chemistry is Tinder’s AI matchmaking feature. We leverage a user’s activity on Tinder, answers to questions, and insights from scanning their Camera Roll to suggest their most compatible matches. Our goal is to get people good dates using state-of-the-art recommendation systems and LLMs. As the Product Team Lead (PTL) for Chemistry, you will own the strategy, roadmap, and execution of one of Tinder’s most important AI-driven surfaces and help define the future of dating online. You will work at the intersection of product, design, ML, trust & safety, and growth to deliver meaningful improvements to match quality and real-world outcomes.
You will:
- Own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for Chemistry, from ideation to launch to iteration
- Translate product vision into clear narratives, wireframes, and prototypes to gather feedback and drive alignment
- Partner closely with design to deliver production-ready mocks and assets
- Collaborate with ML and engineering teams to ship AI-powered features at scale
- Work with user research to deeply understand target demographics, user needs, and pain points
- Synthesize qualitative insights and product analytics to make data-informed decisions
- Partner cross-functionally with revenue, trust & safety, legal, marketing, and research teams to balance competing priorities
- Ideate and support marketing campaigns
- Ensure responsible use of AI, with strong attention to user trust, privacy, and consent
You have:
- An excellent product sense that lets you solve user problems effectively.
- At least 5 years of product management experience, with a preference for those working in consumer social.
- Experience shipping mobile products from inception to launch – if you’re a founder or early employee who has gone from 0 to 1 that’s a big plus.
- A strong command of data and analytics.
- An interest and understanding of broader cultural trends, including AI usage
- Curiosity and empathy for our youngest users who may be just getting started on their dating journeys.
- A demonstrated ability to execute cross-functionally.
- Excellent communication skills not reliant on LLMs
