With 15M+ monthly users, 130B+ annual messages, and a team of fewer than 200, we move fast, stay lean, and tackle technical problems at a scale few companies ever see.

Moderately hardcore day to day, truly hardcore when it counts. It's about doing great work without burning out. Outcomes over outputs. Smart, driven people who raise your bar, with room to live full lives. This is a hybrid role based in our Palo Alto office office and will require you to be in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. About the Job: - You'll join a backend team of 10+ engineers working on key features that support millions of active users daily. - Leading projects and other engineers to implement new features and coordinate closely with the product and design teams - Own the design and development of Grindr's backend services in a stable and scalable microservices architecture -
