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”™


Tinder brings people together. 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 every country on earth, our reach is expansive—and rapidly growing.


At Tinder, we are passionate about building software to bring our growing global user base one swipe closer to a new adventure! We empower all team members to contribute solutions - this is not a top down organization. We feel it is important to learn from one another and grow as a team.

What You'll Need
  • 5+ years of professional experience building native Android applications

  • Experience writing your own Repositories and Factories
  • Understanding of the value of Dependency Injection and implementing Dagger
  • Experience writing your own test scripts 
  • Proficiency using coroutines
  • Clear and solutions oriented communication style with a passion for code quality


Nice to Have
  • Experience designing and architecting full stack applications, including API design and UI wireframing
  • Someone who understands material design guidelines (e.g. you know how to be a good Android citizen while maintaining a strong unique brand identity)
  • Clear communicate style within a collaborative team environment
  • The ability to combine good judgement, empathy, and technical skills
  • BS or MS in Computer Science or Engineering 


$180,000 - $200,000 a year
The salary range for this position is $180,000 - $200,000.  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.
