OkCupid is looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer for our Web team!

What’s it like to be a Web Engineer at OkCupid

The OkCupid Web Team is a nimble team of 7, building features that help connect millions of users every day.

- Building interactive and intuitive UIs in React that connect millions of users

- Extending our API to support new web and mobile client features
