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

Every match on Hinge starts with a decision about who to show and when. As Lead Product Manager for our Recommendations team, you’ll guide the system behind those decisions,  shaping how daters experience discovery on the app. This is a high-impact IC leadership role where you’ll create a recommendations system that’s thoughtful, inclusive, and aligned with how people actually want to date.

Responsibilities

  • Define the product strategy. Set the long-term vision for recommendations, secure executive alignment, and bring clarity to a space that touches nearly every team and user. 
  • Own the roadmap. Translate strategy into a clear, focused roadmap. Prioritize the most important work, make smart tradeoffs, and keep partners aligned as priorities evolve.
  • Communicate with clarity and influence. Own the narrative around plans, priorities, and decisions, whether you’re reviewing tradeoffs with an engineer or presenting next steps to executive leadership.
  • Develop features that shape dating. Own and evolve how we model, rank, and personalize recommendations. Lead your team through the full product development cycle, from research to concept to experiment to launch. Partner with UI-focused product and design teams to build a discovery experience that feels useful, personal, and emotionally intuitive.
  • Make decisions grounded in insight. Use experiments, behavioral data, and research to guide decisions, while navigating ambiguity and imperfect signals. Partner with data science and research to understand how the system is performing and where to focus next.
  • Collaborate across Hinge. Work with Growth, Trust & Safety, Marketing, and other teams to make sure recommendations feel integrated and aligned with the broader product experience.
  • Champion fairness and integrity. Recommendations shape visibility and connection. Ensure the system reflects Hinge’s values, avoids unintended bias, and supports an experience that feels safe and equitable for everyone.

What We're Looking For

  • 6+ years of product management experience, ideally on personalization, recommendations, or other ML-powered consumer products
  • Technical background or deep familiarity with the nuts and bolts of machine learning and AI
  • A track record of building and improving consumer products at scale
  • Experience partnering with engineering, data science, and research
  • Strong communication skills, especially when translating complex ideas to non-technical audiences
  • Comfort with ambiguity and making principled calls in high-impact spaces
  • Curiosity about dating and the human side of product development
  • An interest in the fairness, ethics, and inclusivity of algorithmic systems

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.

If you require reasonable accommodation to complete a job application, pre-employment testing, or a job interview or to otherwise participate in the hiring process, please let your Talent Acquisition partner know.
