Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted
In today's digital world, finding genuine relationships is tougher than ever. At Hinge, we’re on a mission to inspire intimate connection to create a less lonely world. We’re obsessed with understanding our users’ behaviors to help them find love, and our success is defined by one simple metric– setting up great dates. With millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all.
About the Role
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Cloud Foundation team — the engineers responsible for AWS infrastructure, networking, IaC, and Kubernetes foundations that every Hinge product team builds on.
You'll directly manage the 5-person Cloud Foundation team and serve as the infrastructure discipline manager for ~3 Platform ICs embedded across other Platform teams, roughly 8 reports in total. As a member of the Platform leadership team, you'll approach infrastructure like a product — understanding the needs of your internal customers, shaping a roadmap that balances reliability and velocity, investing in the engineers behind the work, and staying close enough to the details to be a credible voice in design reviews and on-call retros.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can balance team strategy and execution — growing a high-performing team while staying grounded in the technical work that drives developer velocity, reliability, and cost efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Define and deliver the Cloud Foundation roadmap, translating strategy into measurable outcomes.
- Lead cloud infrastructure initiatives focused on reliability, scalability, security, and cost management.
- Build tools and automation that make our systems more consistent, observable, and self-service.
- Partner with product engineering teams to improve developer velocity and experience.
- Contribute to code reviews, architecture discussions, and platform documentation.
- Mentor engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence, accountability, inclusion, and autonomy grounded in clarity and trust.
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years in software engineering, including 2+ years in management.
- Deep technical background in cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), distributed systems, or developer platforms.
- Proven success leading automation, reliability, and cost-efficiency efforts at scale.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills; thrives in cross-functional environments.
- Passion for developer experience and building tools that make engineers more productive.
As a member of our team, you’ll enjoy:
401(k) Matching: We match 100% of the first 10% of pre-tax 401(k) contributions you make, up to a maximum of $10,000 per year.
Professional Growth: Get an annual Learning & Development stipend once you’ve been with us for three months. You also get free access to Udemy, an online learning and teaching marketplace with over 6000 courses, starting your first day.
Parental Leave & Planning: When you become a new parent, you’re eligible for 100% paid parental leave (20 paid weeks for both birth and non-birth parents.)
Fertility Support: You’ll get easy access to fertility care through Carrot, from basic treatments to fertility preservation. We also provide a stipend towards fertility preservation. You and your spouse/domestic partner are both eligible.
Date Stipend: All Hinge employees receive a $100 monthly stipend for epic dates– Romantic or otherwise. Hinge Premium is also free for employees and their loved ones.
ERGs: We have eight Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—Asian, Unapologetic, Disability, LGBTQIA+, Raices, Women/Nonbinary, Parents —that hold regular meetings, host events, and provide dedicated support to the organization & its community.
At Hinge, our core values are…
Authenticity: We share, never hide, our words, actions and intentions.
Courage: We embrace lofty goals and tough challenges.
Empathy: We deeply consider the perspective of others.
Diversity inspires innovation
Hinge is an equal-opportunity employer. We value diversity at our company and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We believe success is created by a diverse workforce of individuals with different ideas, strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds.
