Senior Software Engineer, Backend — Seoul Studios (Tinder Seoul)

About the Team

Seoul Studios is Tinder's Seoul-based product studio, chartered to build breakthrough innovations in how people meet and connect. We move fast — incubating new, interactive dating experiences, running rapid experiments, and shipping features that raise engagement and improve reconsideration for members around the world.

Based in Seoul, the pod is a self-contained, cross-functional team of iOS, Android, web, and backend engineers working shoulder to shoulder with Product, Design, and Data, and partnering with teams across Seoul and our U.S. headquarters to take ideas from early experiment to global scale.

About the Role

As a Senior Backend Engineer on Seoul Studios, you'll design and build the scalable, low-latency backend systems that power new, interactive, and often real-time dating experiences. You'll own the architecture of complex services end to end, make sound tradeoffs across performance, reliability, and scalability, and help set the technical bar for a fast-moving pod. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and client engineers to ship high-quality features on a rapid cadence, and mentor fellow engineers as a senior member of the team.

Where you'll work

This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week. Our office is located in Seoul.
