TLDR

Lead the strategy and execution for Tinder’s AI matchmaking feature, Chemistry, directly impacting match quality and user experiences through innovative product development.

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 Take the Lead We don't ghost our work or each other. Just as users don't leave their matches hanging, we don't let each other down. Move Fast We have a bias for action and urgency. Something that could be done tomorrow would be better if done today. Better Together We keep connection at the heart of dating and at the heart of how we work. Just as our users are better when they connect with others, so are we when we collaborate. Real Talk We say the hard thing the human way. Just as we ask our users to behave with kindness and candor in our community, we expect Team Tinder to do the same. Safety First We act with integrity, transparency, and consistency so people feel safe—whether they're swiping, matching, or working alongside us. Spark Fun We have fun to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and help us build better experiences for daters. Chemistry is Tinder’s AI matchmaking feature. We leverage a user’s activity on Tinder, answers to questions, and insights from scanning their Camera Roll to suggest their most compatible matches. Our goal is to get people good dates using state-of-the-art recommendation systems and LLMs. As the Product Team Lead (PTL) for Chemistry, you will own the strategy, roadmap, and execution of one of Tinder’s most important AI-driven surfaces and help define the future of dating online.

  • Own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for Chemistry, from ideation to launch to iteration
  • Translate product vision into clear narratives, wireframes, and prototypes to gather feedback and drive alignment
  • Partner closely with design to deliver production-ready mocks and assets
  • Collaborate with ML and engineering teams to ship AI-powered features at scale

  • You have:
  • An excellent product sense that lets you solve user problems effectively.

  • An interest and understanding of broader cultural trends, including AI usage
  • Curiosity and empathy for our youngest users who may be just getting started on their dating journeys.
