Staff Software Engineer, iOS

Tinder Android Engineer

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 are building a new, focused team within Tinder that feels a lot like a startup—nimble, efficient, and centered on building innovative features for the next generation of users. This role comes with a lot of ownership and visibility, as you'd be the founding Android engineer on the team and shape how we build the product, define architecture, and work closely with teams across the company to bring new ideas to life. You should be product- and user-oriented, and comfortable with autonomy and ambiguity.

This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week. This role is based out of our New York, NY office.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the architecture design and implementation of consumer-facing features in the Tinder app
• Build compelling new in-app experiences that will reach tens of millions of users globally
• Coordinate with product and design teams and influence the roadmap and product development of the Tinder app and services
• Create and maintain internal shared frameworks and libraries
• Mentor, collaborate, and learn with innovative and passionate team members

You'll need:

• 8+ years of professional experience developing native iOS applications
• Extensive experience building applications using Swift
• Strong software design skills, including a deep understanding of design patterns (e.g., Clean / MVVM / VIPER, and the benefits of each) and dependency injection
• Understanding of design guidelines (i.e. you know how to be a good iOS citizen while maintaining a strong unique brand identity)
• Clear communication style within a collaborative team environment
• The ability to combine good judgment, empathy, and technical skills

Nice to have:

• BS or MS in Computer Science or Engineering
