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.

The Team

The Engineering team is responsible for building innovative features and resilient systems that bring people together. We're always experimenting with new features to engage with our members. Although we are a high-scale tech company, the member-to-engineer ratio is very high—making the level of impact each engineer gets to have at Tinder enormous.

As an Android engineer at Tinder, you will have an outsized impact and ownership of the most visible aspects of the Tinder App. We are deeply invested in challenging norms, constantly improving architecture design, exploring emergent tech and ideas, and leveraging new technologies in interesting ways to deliver an app that is widely known across the world.

• Create and maintain internal shared frameworks and libraries
• Shape the future of optimized analytics at Tinder from the ground up with innovative data tools for the analytics and data scientist team(s)
• Evolve Tinder’s architecture to support multiple authentication flows and account management

You'll need:

• Experience building native Android applications
• Experience building applications in Kotlin
• Well versed in design patterns ( MVP, Clean/MVVM)
• Experience writing your own Repositories and Factories
• Understanding of the value of Dependency Injection
• Experience writing your own test scripts
• Clear and solutions oriented communication style with a passion for code quality

Nice to have:
