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”™

 

 

Our Values

 

One Team, One Dream

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.


The team:

We are building a new, focused team within Tinder that feels a lot like a startup—nimble, efficient, and centered on building innovative features for the next generation of users. This role comes with a lot of ownership and visibility, as you’d be the founding Android engineer on the team and shape how we build the product, define architecture, and work closely with teams across the company to bring new ideas to life. You should be product- and user-oriented, and comfortable with autonomy and ambiguity.

Where you’ll work:

This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week. This role is based out of our New York, NY office.

\n


In this role, you will:
  • Lead the architecture design and implementation of consumer-facing features in the Tinder app
  • Build compelling new in-app experiences that will reach tens of millions of users globally
  • Coordinate with product and design teams and influence the roadmap and product development of the Tinder app and services
  • Create and maintain internal shared frameworks and libraries
  • Mentor, collaborate, and learn with innovative and passionate team members
 
 


You'll need:
  • 8 years of professional experience developing native iOS applications
  • Extensive experience building applications using Swift
  • Strong software design skills, including a deep understanding of design patterns (e.g., Clean / MVVM / VIPER, and the benefits of each) and dependency injection
  • Understanding of design guidelines (i.e. you know how to be a good iOS citizen while maintaining a strong unique brand identity)
  • Clear communication style within a collaborative team environment
  • The ability to combine good judgment, empathy, and technical skills


Nice to have:
  • BS or MS in Computer Science or Engineering

$220,000 - $230,000 a year

Commitment to Inclusion

 

At Tinder, we don’t just accept difference, we celebrate it. We strive to build a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members around the world, and we value unique perspectives and backgrounds. Even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications, we invite you to apply and show us how your skills could transfer.
