About the Team
Seoul is one of Tinder's key global hubs — home to cross-functional product pods building for hundreds of millions of members across 160+ countries. Our Seoul-based teams span Product, Design, Engineering (iOS, Android, web, and backend), and Data, working side by side to move fast: incubating new ideas, running rapid experiments, and shipping features that scale from a single market to Tinder's global business.
We partner closely with teams across the region and our U.S. headquarters, taking what works locally — new experiences, growth strategies, product bets — and turning it into playbooks and products that shape how Tinder shows up for members everywhere.
