Sr. Product Manager, Recommendations

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 Role We are looking for a Sr. Product Manager, Recommendations Cross-Surface Personalization to lead how Tinder’s recommendation system connects with other product surfaces and teams.

Tinder’s Recs system powers who members see, when, and why. But true personalization requires coordination not just within Recs, but across the product ecosystem. In this role, you’ll be responsible for making it easier for other Tinder teams to use Recs data, insights, and personalization in their products. You’ll also ensure the Recs team can support and prioritize requests from other pods, building processes that help everyone work faster and deliver the right solutions.

You’ll partner closely with cross pillar teams and Data Science, ML and Recs Engineering, to ensure that Recs data, models, and insights are used consistently and effectively across Tinder.

The ideal candidate is strategic and highly cross-functional, someone who thrives at connecting dots across systems, teams, and goals. You’ll balance short-term coordination with long-term strategy to ensure Recs intelligence is powering every major user touchpoint in a consistent, scalable, and measurable way.

Where you’ll work: This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration. This position is based in Palo Alto, CA.
