Product Designer, Grindr

• 5+ years of product design experience as a senior IC at a consumer-focused tech company
• Portfolio demonstrating strong end-to-end ownership - problem framing to shipped solution - with clear articulation of your role, decisions made, and measurable impact
• Proven experience designing for consumer mobile apps on iOS and/or Android, including complex interaction systems, edge cases, and multi-state flows
• Track record of shipping features end-to-end within tight timelines, with systems thinking that accounts for implementation constraints and business impact
• Strong communication skills - able to articulate design rationale, influence stakeholders, and build alignment with product and engineering partners
• Experience designing for monetization surfaces - paywalls, subscriptions, conversion flows, or upsell moments

Desirable

• The Design team at Grindr punches well above its weight. Designers here work directly alongside product and engineering leadership - shaping what gets built and how it shows up for millions of users, not executing against briefs handed down from above
• This Senior Product Designer role is a foundational senior IC hire: someone who sets the quality bar, drives design from ambiguity to shipped product, and helps define how the design function operates as we scale
• The mandate is real - a full uplift of the Grindr core app, used by millions of people daily, with the ownership and proximity to leadership to make it happen. At a company this size, the decisions you make show up in the product within weeks, not quarters
• Own end-to-end product design for core areas of the Grindr app - from early discovery and problem framing through high-fidelity production specs and shipped features
• Drive design decisions independently with clear rationale, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Data to move work from ambiguity to execution at pace
• Raise the quality bar across the team by modeling excellent craft, rigorous process, and sharp cross-functional communication
• Collaborate actively with the Design Systems Specialist to contribute to and improve Grindr's evolving design system - bringing a consumer product lens to system decisions
• Shape Grindr's design culture as a senior IC on the team - contributing to how we critique, how we give feedback, and how we operate
