Job description

At Bumble, we’re on a mission to create a world where healthy relationships are built on respect, equality, and kindness. The Date Design Team brings this mission to life by shaping the experiences that millions of people have with our flagship product every day.

As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll help redefine what modern dating feels like—safe, joyful, and deeply human. You’ll be a key driver at the intersection of product, engineering, and research, balancing exceptional product thinking with high craft standards and a deep respect for the people who use Bumble. Working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Researchers, and fellow designers, you’ll solve complex user problems and create intuitive, emotionally intelligent experiences that empower people to connect with confidence.

You’ll be part of a team that champions craft, consistency, and inclusion across Bumble’s ecosystem. This role calls for a designer who combines user empathy, strategic thinking, data‑informed decision making, and creativity, while embracing AI thoughtfully and modeling Bumble’s values of Respect, Curiosity, and Joy in everything they do.

• Own end‑to‑end design across multiple feature areas within Bumble Date, leading work from discovery and problem framing through interaction design, visual refinement, prototyping, and delivery.
• Influence product direction by identifying opportunities, framing complex user problems, and partnering closely with cross‑functional teams to shape user‑centered solutions.
• Design intuitive, emotionally resonant experiences grounded in user research, behavioral insights, data, and product strategy.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, User Researchers, Engineers, and Data partners to validate ideas, synthesize insights, and iteratively improve experiences.
• Apply AI‑powered tools and workflows to accelerate exploration, improve accessibility, and responsibly personalize user experiences while maintaining thoughtful human judgment.
• Contribute to shared UX patterns, design systems, and design standards that strengthen consistency, scalability, and craft across Bumble’s ecosystem.
• Clearly communicate design rationale to teammates and leadership, connecting design decisions to user needs, business outcomes, and product strategy.
• Model our Bumble values of Courage and Respect while demonstrating our core competencies by collaborating with purpose, taking ownership, adapting with agility, and delivering from insight to impact.

Qualifications

• You’re an expert end‑to‑end product designer with a track record of delivering thoughtful, high‑quality mobile experiences that solve meaningful user problems.
• You combine strong product thinking with systems thinking, balancing user needs, technical feasibility, and business goals to create experiences that resonate globally.
• You have exceptional visual, interaction, and prototyping skills, with expertise in Figma, AI‑assisted design workflows, and modern prototyping tools.
• You thrive in collaborative environments, building trusted partnerships across Product, Engineering, Research, and Design to create better outcomes together.
• You’re fluent in inclusive design principles and accessibility standards, and you bring a global perspective to every design challenge.
• You’re curious about how AI can enhance creativity, accelerate design exploration, and improve user experiences, and you use these tools responsibly and ethically.
• You take ownership of complex initiatives from discovery through delivery, influence others through expertise and collaboration, and help elevate design quality through thoughtful feedback and a commitment to craft excellence.
• Typically requires 10+ years of experience, though we welcome candidates with alternative backgrounds that demonstrate equivalent skills.

Kind, curious, and low‑ego designers thrive at Bumble. If you’re excited to shape how millions of people around the world build relationships and find belonging, we’d love to hear from you.
