Software Programmers (QA)

Job Description As a Software Engineer III on our Shared Services team, you’ll build and maintain the platform features and services that power multiple Match Group brands — including Match, BLK, and Chispa (

Instead of building for a single app, you’ll create reusable, foundational capabilities — shared photos, messaging, registration/login, search — used across our portfolio. This is a Dallas-based role — we work together 3 days a week in our TX office.

You’ll design, build, and maintain reusable backend services and APIs that are consumed by multiple consumer brands, not just one app

You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, and our Android, iOS, and Web engineers to turn platform needs into shared solutions

You’ll take an active role in technical design and architecture discussions for large-scale, cloud-native systems

You’ll help ensure the platform is scalable, reliable, and well-tested as it grows to support more brands

Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to expand beyond backend into mobile feature development — you'll have the opportunity to contribute where you can make the biggest impact

Strong hands-on experience building backend services in C#/.NET including designing and consuming REST APIs and JSON data contracts

Experience with relational databases (SQL Server, Postgres, or similar), data modeling, and query/performance optimization; Strong grasp of software design patterns, SOLID, and clean architecture, plus both functional and object-oriented programming patterns

A habit of writing testable, maintainable code; comfortable with dependency injection and unit/integration testing, and values test-driven development and CI

Strong communication in both technical and non-technical discussions, and the ability to partner effectively with Product, Design, QA, and platform/mobile engineers

Experience with — or genuine interest in learning — mobile development (Kotlin/Android or Swift/iOS), given the role’s cross-platform potential

Experience working with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code to accelerate delivery while keeping a critical eye on code quality and correctness

Bonus points:

Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field

Experience building shared platforms or services used by multiple teams, applications, or brands

Experience shipping mobile features on Android (Kotlin) or iOS (Swift)

We’re a collaborative Dallas team of small, cross-functional pods spanning Android, iOS, Web, API, and QA

Our mission is to build reusable platform capabilities that every brand can leverage — so teams aren’t rebuilding the same features independently

We move fast and meet deadlines while still writing high-quality, maintainable code, and we believe in continuous learning
