Our Values
One Team, One Dream
We work hand-in-hand, building Tinder for our members. We succeed together when we work collaboratively across functions, teams, and time zones, and think outside the box to achieve our company vision and mission.
Own It
We take accountability and strive to make a positive impact in all aspects of our business, through ownership, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
We cultivate a culture where it's safe to take risks. We seek out input, share honest feedback, celebrate our wins, and learn from our mistakes in order to continue improving.
Spark Solutions
We're problem solvers, focusing on how to best move forward when faced with obstacles. We don't dwell on the past or on the issues at hand, but instead look at how to stay agile and overcome hurdles to achieve our goals.
We are intentional about building a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members. By leveraging different perspectives and other ways of thinking, we build better experiences for our members and our team.
As a Backend Engineer at Tinder, you'll be part of a high-impact group responsible for supercharging engineering speed across Tinder. Velocity builds the systems, AI-driven tools, and internal platforms that let product and engineering teams prototype, ship, and scale connection experiences faster than ever before.
You'll work at the core of Tinder's technical innovation engine—designing distributed systems that support AI-powered developer tooling, automating workflows, and eliminating bottlenecks that slow product iteration. From accelerating CI/CD pipelines to integrating AI agents into engineering workflows, your work will help hundreds of developers move with confidence and speed.
