Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted


In today’s digital world, singles are so focused on sending likes and looking through profiles that they’re not actually building meaningful connections and finding relationships. Hinge is on a mission to change that by designing the most effective app experience. On Hinge, there are no rules, timers, or games. Instead, you’ll have unique conversations over the text, photos, and audio you’ve shared on your profile. And it’s resonating with daters. Currently we’re setting up a date every three seconds.


About the Role


Hinge is seeking a seasoned Senior Product Designer to join our Growth team, where you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of how people connect. By designing thoughtful, delightful experiences, you’ll drive meaningful growth while empowering millions to find love. Collaborate closely with researchers, data scientists, product managers, and engineers to craft a growth strategy that evolves our product and redefines the dating landscape.


This role will focus on Monetization, leading the design of premium offerings, including subscription and à la carte products. As a member of this high-priority, high-impact team, you’ll manage end-to-end design projects, align stakeholders on objectives, and contribute directly to the team’s success. Reporting to the Growth Design Manager, you’ll receive dedicated support to advance your work, strategy, and professional development.


At Hinge, design drives everything we do—bringing bold ideas to life with intuitive, elegant solutions. Our mission to help users “delete us” speaks to our dedication to fostering real-life connections. Success isn’t just measured by metrics but by how well we help people find love.


This is a 6-month contract with the potential for converting to full-time.

Responsibilities

  • Design for Impact: Craft features that balance user needs and business goals, driving value worth paying for.
  • Strategic Visioning: Define team strategy by facilitating workshops and translating insights into testable, actionable design hypotheses.
  • Collaborative Problem Solving: Partner with cross-functional teams to identify design opportunities, prioritize projects, and align on goals.
  • Compelling Communication: Share ideas and design decisions effectively through high-fidelity prototypes, live presentations, and creative storytelling.
  • Exceptional Craftsmanship: Deliver polished work that upholds Hinge’s brand standards, from wireframes to visual comps and prototypes.
  • Iterative Design: Embrace a test-and-learn mindset, refining solutions based on research and user feedback.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience: 8+ years of product design experience, including 3–5 years in mobile design; expertise in user-centered design solutions demonstrated in a strong portfolio.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in design, human-computer interaction, or a related field.
  • Portfolio: Proven success launching software at scale, particularly in fast-paced, multi-market environments.
  • Domain Expertise: Background in monetization, subscription services, or e-commerce is highly desirable.
  • Data-Informed: Skilled at integrating research and data insights into design, particularly in experimental contexts.
  • Tools: Proficiency in Figma, including high-fidelity prototyping and component library use.

Our Culture:

- Authenticity: Share your genuine thoughts and opinions directly. 

- Courage: Invite and deeply consider challenges and criticism.

- Empathy: Be empathetic, communitarian and trustworthy. 


We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.


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 speak to your Talent Acquisition Partner directly.

What We Do

In today’s digital world, singles are so focused on sending likes and looking through profiles that they’re not actually building meaningful connections and going on dates. Hinge is on a mission to change that by designing the most effective app experience. We want to create a less lonely world by inspiring intimate, in-person connections. Relationships are at the core of everything we do. And not just the romantic kind. We can't accomplish really hard things alone - so we make great relationships the foundation of our teamwork.

We believe these three core values are what it takes to build those great relationships: Authenticity, we share - never hide - our words, actions, and intentions. Courage, breakthroughs require a willingness to take risks and embrace lofty goals and tough challenges. Empathy, we're all humans first. So we deeply consider the perspectives of others, listen openly, and speak with care.

Why Work With Us

We're mission-driven. While most apps think about boosting sessions and time on app, we think strategically about meaningful end results (dates and relationships).

We're culture-first. We believe in great people over process. Decisions are pushed to the front lines, with feedback and coaching provided by our leaders.
