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 tens of millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all.

About the Role

At Hinge, the Platform mission is to enable faster, safer delivery for our entire technology organization. We are seeking an experienced engineering leader to oversee and expand the teams within our platform engineering group. As the Director of Platform Engineering, you will oversee three teams: Core Platform(2) and Notifications Platform. Initially, these teams will report directly to you, with the expectation that you will hire or mentor managers to lead and grow these teams as they evolve.

Platform engineering is essential at Hinge; and the team is growing to meet the needs of the organization. We’re looking for a seasoned platform leader to shape the future of platform engineering at Hinge.

Responsibilities

  • Team Leadership and Development: Mentor and grow a team of engineers and managers, fostering a collaborative, empathetic, and high-performing work environment. Focus on building a healthy team culture that aligns with the needs of users.
  • Platform Engineering Excellence: Define and continuously improve core metrics for platform engineering.
  • Ownership of Core Engineering Functions: Own observability, CI/CD, core infrastructure abstractions, and shared tooling.
  • Cross Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with product and engineering leaders to prioritize feature development and engineering investments. Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure platform engineering initiatives are aligned with broader business goals.
  • Vision and Strategy: Develop and drive the long-term strategic vision for platform engineering, ensuring the team is well-positioned to meet future challenges and opportunities.
  • Innovation: Stay current on engineering best practices and trends. Lead the team in continuously refining strategies, processes, and tools to improve efficiency, reliability, and innovation within platform engineering.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams
  • 10+ years of experience in software development with distributed production systems at scale
  • Experience building DevOps tooling and processes, with knowledge of site reliability and product engineering
  • Ability to facilitate technical decision-making, even outside your domain expertise
  • The Hinge team programs in Go, Swift, Kotlin, and ReactJS and we build on Kafka, Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes, Istio, Terraform, AWS, Prometheus, Grafana, Vault, and CircleCI. While you don’t need to be an expert in all of these, we are looking for familiarity with these or similar tools.
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 a $3,000 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 $10,000 toward 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+, Vibras, Women/Nonbinary, Parents, and Remote—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.

We believe success is created by a diverse workforce of individuals with different ideas, strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
