Descripción del trabajo
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

One Team, One Dream
We work hand-in-hand, building Tinder for our members. We succeed together when we work collaboratively across functions, teams, and time zones, and think outside the box to achieve our company vision and mission.

Own It
We take accountability and strive to make a positive impact in all aspects of our business, through ownership, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.

Never Stop Learning
We cultivate a culture where it’s safe to take risks. We seek out input, share honest feedback, celebrate our wins, and learn from our mistakes in order to continue improving.

Spark Solutions
We’re problem solvers, focusing on how to best move forward when faced with obstacles. We don’t dwell on the past or on the issues at hand, but instead look at how to stay agile and overcome hurdles to achieve our goals.

Embrace Our Differences
We are intentional about building a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members. By leveraging different perspectives and other ways of thinking, we build better experiences for our members and our team.

The Team

The Data Science & Analytics team thrives on data-driven insights to make more informed decisions through our insights into our member’s behavior, preferences, and common trends. We take ownership over the integrity of our data and work to improve data literacy across Tinder.

Recommendations (Recs) is core to Tinder’s experience—covering ranking, retrieval, signals, and model evaluation—to improve match quality, conversations, retention, and revenue through principled ML and experimentation.

As a Senior Data Scientist on the Recommendations (Recs) team, you will partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Machine Learning (ML) to identify and size new opportunities, strengthen existing algorithms, and shape measurement and experimentation across a two-sided marketplace. You’ll build the tooling and dashboards needed for crisp reads and health monitoring, communicate insights and tradeoffs with executive clarity, and serve as a trusted, respected partner to the Recs pod and a mentor for the broader Data Science team.

This role will be given wide latitude but high expectations for the development of analyses, models, and plans that will be shared directly with the executive team and help shape the trajectory of our product roadmap.

Where you’ll work:
This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week in Los Angeles, Palo Alto or San Francisco.

In this role, you will:

    • Work closely with Product, Engineering, and ML to identify and evaluate new opportunities; frame hypotheses, define success metrics and guardrails, and translate findings into clear product recommendations.
    • Support the ML team in improving algorithms across retrieval, ranking, and personalization; strengthen offline/online evaluation and alignment.
    • Define and lead experimentation design and analysis tailored to a two‑sided marketplace; drive meta-analyses and playbooks that uplevel reads and decision quality.
    • Build tools and dashboards to improve experiment reads and KPI monitoring; standardize templates and health checks for fast, reliable iteration.
    • Deliver executive-ready presentations and docs that clarify options, tradeoffs, risks, and expected business impact.
    • Be a trusted and respected partner for the Recs pod, focused on delivering the best recommendations for our worldwide member base.
    • Mentor and inspire other data scientists; review analyses and elevate experimentation, causal inference, and model evaluation practices across the team.

You'll Need:

    • Bachelor’s, Master’s, and/or degree in a quantitative field (, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, or related fields).
    • 5+ years of professional experience in data science/analytics, with meaningful time in recommender systems, ranking, search, or personalization at consumer scale (or equivalent impact/complexity).
    • Fluency in SQL and Python (required).
    • Deep understanding of statistics and causal inference; hands-on experience designing and analyzing online experiments (A/B, variance reduction, sequential testing) and applying quasi-experimental methods when appropriate.
    • Strong product sense and analytical rigor; ability to frame the right questions, choose fit-for-purpose methods, and land actionable recommendations with cross-functional partners.
    • Familiarity with machine learning for recommendations, including offline/online metric design and model evaluation for ranking/personalization use cases.

Nice to have:

    • Experience with modern Recs stacks (, retrieval/two‑tower, learning‑to‑rank, embeddings/feature stores) and counterfactual evaluation approaches (IPS/DR, switchback tests).
    • Working knowledge of Spark or similar large‑scale data tools and MLOps concepts (feature stores, evaluation pipelines, drift/monitoring).
    • Two‑sided marketplace intuition and guardrail design to protect ecosystem health.
    • Track record of mentorship, thought leadership, and cross‑functional influence.

As a full-time employee, you’ll enjoy:

    • Unlimited PTO (with no waiting period), 10 annual Wellness Days
    • Time off to volunteer and charitable donations matching
    • Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage
    • 100% 401(k) employer match up to 10%, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
    • 100% paid parental leave (including for non-birthing parents), family forming benefits, and Milk Stork, which provides access to breast milk shipping for business travel, surrogacy, and employee relocation
    • Investment in your development: mentorship through our MentorMatch program, access to 6,000+ online courses through Udemy, and an annual stipend for your professional development
    • Investment in your wellness: access to mental health support via Modern Health, and Insight Timer; paid concierge medical membership, pet insurance, fitness membership subsidy, and commuter subsidy
    • Free premium subscriptions for several Match Group apps – including Tinder Platinum!
$160,000 - $190,000 a year
Factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, job-related skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and business considerations may influence base pay offered. This salary will be subject to a geographic adjustment (according to a specific city and state), if an authorization is granted to work outside of the location listed in this posting.
