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
Join Hinge's Trust & Safety team as a Product Designer and shape the future of safe dating. You'll tackle complex operational workflows while designing intuitive and efficient web-based internal tools that empower our global T&S teams to safeguard daters. This is a unique chance to significantly impact user safety and agent experience, lead the design vision for a unified tooling platform, and uphold Hinge’s commitment to safety. If designing for operational complexity, building impactful systems, and driving meaningful outcomes excites you, this role is for you.

What We're Looking For- 5+ years of experience delivering end-to-end product design (UX/UI) for complex web applications
- A portfolio that showcases systems thinking, user-centered design, and iterative improvement in internal tools, enterprise software, or other web-based applications.
- Experience partnering with Research to inform and validate design decisions
- Strong collaboration with Product and Engineering in agile environments
- Comfortable facilitating collaborative workshops (e.g., journey mapping, design sprints)
- Core Design Proficiency: Expertise across the product design lifecycle: research synthesis, IA, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and usability testing
