Our Mission: As humans, there are few things more exciting than meeting someone new. At Tinder, we’re inspired by the challenge of keeping the magic of human connection alive.

We work together to solve complex problems. Behind the simplicity of every match, we think deeply about human relationships, behavioral science, network economics, AI and ML, online and real-world safety, cultural nuances, loneliness, love, sex, and more.

The Team The Engineering team is responsible for building innovative features and resilient systems that bring people together.

• Create and maintain internal shared frameworks and libraries
• Shape the future of optimized analytics at Tinder from the ground up with innovative data tools for the analytics and data scientist team(s)
• Evolve Tinder’s architecture to support multiple authentication flows and account management

You'll need:

• Understanding of the value of Dependency Injection
• Experience writing your own test scripts
• Proficiency using coroutines

• Clear communication style within a collaborative team environment
• The ability to combine good judgment, empathy, and technical skills
• BS or MS in Computer Science or Engineering

Salary Range: 95,000 - 115,000 a year
