Staff Software Engineer, iOS

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional experience developing native Android applications
• Extensive experience building applications using Kotlin
• Strong software design skills, including a deep understanding of design patterns (e.g., Clean / MVVM / MVI, and the benefits of each) and dependency injection
• Understanding of design guidelines (i.e. you know how to be a good Android 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
• Commitment to Inclusion
