Our Mission   Launched in 2012, Tinder® revolutionized how people meet, growing from 1 match to one billion matches in just two years. This rapid growth demonstrates its ability to fulfill a fundamental human need: real connection. Today, the app has been downloaded over 630 million times, leading to over 97 billion matches, serving approximately 50 million users per month in 190 countries and 45+ languages - a scale unmatched by any other app in the category. In 2024, Tinder won four Effie Awards for its first-ever global brand campaign, “It Starts with a Swipe”™     Our Values Take the Lead We don't ghost our work or each other. Just as users don't leave their matches hanging, we don't let each other down. Move Fast We have a bias for action and urgency. Something that could be done tomorrow would be better if done today. Better Together We keep connection at the heart of dating and at the heart of how we work. Just as our users are better when they connect with others, so are we when we collaborate. Real Talk We say the hard thing the human way. Just as we ask our users to behave with kindness and candor in our community, we expect Team Tinder to do the same. Safety First We act with integrity, transparency, and consistency so people feel safe—whether they're swiping, matching, or working alongside us. Spark Fun We have fun to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and help us build better experiences for daters. The Team The Analytics team is looking for curious individuals excited to drive data-informed decision-making at Tinder. We are a strategic partner to Product, Design, Engineering, and Machine Learning, using our comprehensive datasets to develop experiments, understand and evolve metrics, build automated reporting, and generate exploratory insights that guide business and product decisions. These insights are key to both the performance of our business and the experience of our members. We are hiring Data Scientists into a shared pipeline with opportunities to join one of several product pods, including Core, Recommendations, and Growth. Core focuses on the end-to-end member experience across registration, swiping, matching, and messaging, ensuring a healthy, engaging marketplace. Recommendations focuses on ranking, personalization, and signals to surface the right profiles and experiences at the right time. Growth focuses on validating new “greenspace” hypotheses, acquisition, activation, and lifecycle experiences (including messaging and channels) that help members discover more value on Tinder. During the interview process, we’ll work closely with you to determine which pod is the best match based on your background, interests, and our current needs.   Where you’ll work: This position can be located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Palo Alto, CA, or Dallas, TX
