In today's digital world, finding genuine relationships is tougher than ever. At Hinge, we’re on a mission to inspire intimate connection to create a less lonely world. We’re obsessed with understanding our users’ behaviors to help them find love, and our success is defined by one simple metric– setting up great dates.

About the Role

Hinge is hiring a Lead Product Manager, Notification Platform, sitting at the intersection of Hinge’s end-to-end notifications user experience and the underlying tech stack that powers it.

Notifications (email, push and in-app) are a key opportunity to drive impact at Hinge, ultimately getting more people out on great dates and growing Hinge’s business.

In order to unlock this growth, Hinge is streamlining its notification infrastructure to make optimizing notifications and creating new ones as efficient and impactful as possible.

This role will collaborate with partners from Engineering, Design, Data and ML. It will require a keen ability to synthesize internal and external user needs along with high-level technical considerations to balance solving near-term blockers and ultimately inform both the high level architecture and user experience of all notifications at Hinge.

This role will come with an opportunity to collaborate and influence in adjacent areas over time, including Hinge’s Design System, AI platform, Experimentation toolset and Notification Platform.
