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!

The salary range for this position is $220,000-$260,000 Factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, job-related skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and business considerations may influence base pay offered. This salary range is reflective of a position based in either San Francisco, New York, or Los Angeles. This salary will be subject to a geographic adjustment (according to a specific city and state), if an authorization is granted to work outside of the location listed in this posting.
