What does Hinge’s relationship with Match Group mean?

In early 2019, Hinge became part of Match Group. Since then, Hinge’s executive team has continued to set our mission, vision, and the working norms that guide how we show up every day. While some corporate functions are supported at the Match Group level, working at Hinge is unique experience — shaped by our people, our values, and our product.

TL;DR: We get the best of both worlds! Hinge still operates like a small, mission‑driven company, and we have the stability and resources of a company that’s stood the test of time.

I’ve never used Hinge before. Am I still a fit for this role?

Of course! Having used Hinge or any other dating app is definitely not a requirement. That being said, we are looking for team members who genuinely believe our product can and will help people all over the world connect. Our team is passionate about the dating industry and we hope you’ll be passionate about it too!

What requirements are there for in‑office and hybrid roles?

Hybrid roles at Hinge are based in NYC and require three days per week in our beautiful Meatpacking District office. We believe there’s real value in in‑person collaboration and have designed our hybrid model to balance focused work with meaningful time together.

Our office is a space people genuinely enjoy spending time in — beautiful working areas, lots of plants, plenty of food and snacks, and yes, dog friendly.

What can I expect from Hinge’s culture?

Relationships are at the core of everything we do.

And not just the romantic kind. We can’t accomplish really hard things alone—so we make great relationships the foundation of our teamwork.

We believe our three core values. Authenticity, Courage, and Empathy are what it takes to build those great relationships.

How many people currently work at Hinge?

We are growing each week, but last time we checked, more than 320 talented and beautiful souls are a part of the Hinge team across all of our departments.

How does compensation work?

Paying our people fairly and equitably is really important to us! We offer packages with three types of compensation depending on role type and level. Most compensation packages at Hinge consist of base salary, annual bonus target percentage and equity in the form of MTCH stock.
