Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted

In today's digital world, finding genuine relationships is tougher than ever. At Hinge, we’re on a mission to inspire intimate connection to create a less lonely world. We’re obsessed with understanding our users’ behaviors to help them find love, and our success is defined by one simple metric– setting up great dates. With tens of millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all.

About the Role

Backend engineers design, build, operate, and maintain the various cloud-based services that power Hinge.  You’ll solve complex technical challenges and own a significant portion of the software stack that allows millions of users to find meaningful connections.  You’ll write high-quality code, design reliable systems, and operate the software that you build by taking part in on-call.

As a backend engineer, you’ll also be part of a diverse cross-functional team that includes partners in Product, Data Science, ML, iOS, Android, and Data Engineering.  You’ll have a hand in defining and implementing the technical strategy for how we innovate in multiple product areas (e.g. Recommendations, Monetization, User Safety, etc.).    

Responsibilities

    • Design and build RESTful APIs for mobile clients.
    • Taking part in the backend On-Call rotation (1 whole week, every 8-11 weeks).
    • Design and build microservices that run on Kubernetes.
    • Design and build distributed systems in Go, using cloud infrastructure and platform service components.
    • Own the technical design, implementation, and success of their projects.
    • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners.
    • Help foster a culture of collaboration and inclusivity.
    • Cultivate a growth mindset.
    • Effectively organize and manage personal workload, tasks, and meetings.

What We're Looking For

    • 3+ years of industry experience as a backend/service engineer.
    • 2+ years of experience working in a cloud environment such as GCP, AWS, Azure.
    • Strong programming skills: Familiarity with Go is a bonus!
    • System Design & Architecture: Familiarity with distributed computing concepts.
    • Collaboration and Communication skills: Ability to clearly communicate complex ideas to teammates.
    • Cloud Technologies: Familiarity with Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, gRPC/Protobuf, etc.
As a member of our team, you’ll enjoy:

401(k) Matching: We match 100% of the first 10% of pre-tax 401(k) contributions you make, up to a maximum of $10,000 per year.

Professional Growth: Get a $3,000 annual Learning & Development stipend once you’ve been with us for three months. You also get free access to Udemy, an online learning and teaching marketplace with over 6000 courses, starting your first day.

Parental Leave & Planning: When you become a new parent, you’re eligible for 100% paid parental leave (20 paid weeks for both birth and non-birth parents.)

Fertility Support: You’ll get easy access to fertility care through Carrot, from basic treatments to fertility preservation. We also provide $10,000 toward fertility preservation. You and your spouse/domestic partner are both eligible.

Date Stipend: All Hinge employees receive a $100 monthly stipend for epic dates– Romantic or otherwise. Hinge Premium is also free for employees and their loved ones.

ERGs: We have eight Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—Asian, Unapologetic, Disability, LGBTQIA+, Vibras, Women/Nonbinary, Parents, and Remote—that hold regular meetings, host events, and provide dedicated support to the organization & its community.

At Hinge, our core values are…

Authenticity: We share, never hide, our words, actions and intentions.

Courage: We embrace lofty goals and tough challenges.

Empathy: We deeply consider the perspective of others.

Diversity inspires innovation

Hinge is an equal-opportunity employer. We value diversity at our company and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We believe success is created by a diverse workforce of individuals with different ideas, strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds.
