Job Details

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.


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. With tens of millions of users, hundreds of millions of downloads, 2+ billion swipes per day, 20+ million matches per day, and a presence in 190+ countries, our reach is expansive—and rapidly growing. 


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.


We’re looking for a Director of Product to lead a critical area within Tinder, one of Match Group’s top brands.. You’ll join a deeply cross-functional team and work closely with leaders across Product, Design, and Engineering. This is a high-impact role focused on building and scaling core user experiences that shape how millions of people connect every day.


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


In this role, you will:
  • Lead product strategy and execution for core surfaces within Tinder.
  • Directly manage junior PMs.
  • Own the full product lifecycle—from helping shape vision with design to writing specs, collaborating with cross-functional partners, and shipping consistently.
  • Build trusted relationships with engineering and design partners, and guide the team through both day-to-day decision-making and longer-term planning.
  • Help define and evolve product development culture, with a focus on high-quality delivery and continuous learning.
  • Navigate technical and organizational complexity with pragmatism and clarity.
  • Uplevel product craft across the team, mentoring PMs and helping drive stronger fundamentals.
  • Contribute to company-wide priorities by aligning your work with shared business goals and collaborating across teams.


You'll need:
  • 8+ years of product management experience, including leadership roles in high-growth consumer tech.
  • A track record of building and scaling mobile-first products with strong user engagement and UX quality.
  • Experience leading through ambiguity and complexity—especially in high-stakes, high-visibility areas.
  • Excellent collaboration skills, particularly with engineering and design.
  • A strong product sense and the ability to advocate for users while balancing speed, quality, and tradeoffs.
  • A history of driving outcomes, not just output—with the data and stories to back it up.


$211,500 - $276,000 a year
The salary range for this position is $211,500 - $276,000.  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.
