Director of Engineering, Core Services
matchgroup
If you want to lead on the engineering side early in your career, this is a real opportunity. You'd be running Core Services at Hinge—the backend layer that other engineering teams build on top of. You're not just writing code; you're defining how the whole company's backend works.
Your job is to set the direction for the Core Services pillar, manage the teams under you, and make sure they're executing well together. You'll figure out which tools and platforms multiple teams need, get people to actually use what you build, and push the standard for backend engineering across Hinge.
This role suits someone with solid backend engineering chops who's ready to think about systems beyond their own project. You probably studied computer science or a related field, have a portfolio of backend work, and actually care about how services talk to each other. You don't need to have managed people before, but you need to want to.
Hinge is based in New York and this is an in-office role. The salary range is $252,000 to $302,500. Apply directly on CareerJumpShip to submit your resume and background.
