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.

The Team
The Engineering team at Tinder is dedicated to creating innovative features and robust systems that connect people worldwide. We continuously experiment with new ways to engage our members. Despite our global scale, each engineer has an enormous impact due to our high member-to-engineer ratio, giving you the opportunity to make a real difference.
AI is a top priority at Tinder, and our Generative AI team is at the forefront of developing features powered by cutting-edge technologies, including large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models. This is a rare opportunity to work on groundbreaking AI-driven products at a company with a global reach, all while being part of a small, agile team where your contributions are felt every day.

Where you’ll work
This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration two times per week. This position is located in Palo Alto, CA.

In this role, you will:

    • Conduct applied research of Generative AI, and develop product prototypes. Stay at the forefront of advancements in AI.
    • Develop Generative AI based features in production.
    • Work with big data (handling billions of user swipes per day).
    • Collaborate with other machine learning engineers, backend software engineers, and product managers to integrate ML models into our systems, improving user experience and driving business objectives.
    • Mentor and guide team members, fostering their growth and enabling them to reach their full potential.

You’ll need:

    • 5+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning, with a proven track record of delivering impactful solutions at scale.
    • PhD or MS in machine learning, computer science, statistics, or another highly quantitative field.
    • In-depth knowledge of deep neural networks, particularly in NLP and CV.
    • Hands on experience in Generative AI.
    • Proficiency in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, etc.
    • Proficiency in Python, Java, Scala, or similar programming languages.
    • Strong decision-making skills with a bias for action and the ability to navigate ambiguity with confidence.
    • Proven leadership abilities to inspire and motivate teams to excel and achieve ambitious goals.
Commitment to Inclusion

At Tinder, we don’t just accept difference, we celebrate it. We strive to build a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members around the world, and we value unique perspectives and backgrounds. Even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications, we invite you to apply and show us how your skills could transfer. Tinder is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace where we welcome people of all sexes, gender identities, races, ethnicities, disabilities, and other lived experiences.
