Software Engineer (R&D Innovation) at Tinder | Powderkeg

Location: Remote, US

Employment Type: Regular

Team: Engineering - +1 Labs

Hello! We are +1 Labs, an internal innovation and research and development (R&D) team tasked with a focus on strategic innovation within Match Group (mtch.com).

Our team incubates new and promising ideas while working with other Match Group brands like Tinder, Hinge, Match, and others to empower innovation across our portfolio of products.

We are looking for an entrepreneurially driven developer to help us build the next “big thing” for Match Group. This is a chance to make a real impact on how millions of people connect and form meaningful relationships across the world.

We’re based in Dallas, TX. However, we are open to considering a remote office for highly qualified candidates who can travel periodically to Dallas (when safe to do so)

How you’ll make an impact:

  • Work in our Dallas office as a part of our R&D team.
  • Build new dating and social applications. You’ll leverage your programming expertise to add features to existing platforms and guide new concepts from the idea phase all the way to release.
  • Closely collaborate with Product, Design, and other engineering teams.
  • Participate in architecture and design for greenfield projects.
  • Impact and influence the product directly. The best ideas – from any source – are welcome.
  • Take part in research that will directly impact the strategy of Match Group going forward.

We could be a match if you have:

  • 2+ years of professional software engineer experience.
  • Good knowledge of software development best practices.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Strong ability to write readable, testable code.
  • Understanding of the value of unit tests.
  • Familiarity with common software design patterns.
  • Familiarity with multiple programming languages (esp. C#, Kotlin, Ruby, Swift).
  • Experience building secure and scalable web APIs.
  • Experience working with databases (esp. PostgreSQL, Cassandra).
  • Experience working with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP).

Bonus:

  • Experience with Pub/Sub queues (esp. Kafka, Kinesis).
  • Mobile development experience (iOS, Android).

What’s the team like?

  • We’re a small, nimble team that iterates fast and ships often to bring new dating products to our users (more startup vibe than big company!).
  • We're constantly trying to reimagine human connection by embracing new technologies, anticipating changes in the global digital zeitgeist, and unlocking new and exciting ways to bring people together.
  • We’ve helped millions of people find love and happiness.
  • Drinks and snacks are on us every single day.
  • We attend industry conferences.
