- 4+ years of professional working experience in Data Science and/or analytics
- 2+ years of industry experience in pricing strategy or monetization analytics, preferably in a related industry (mobile apps, two-sided marketplaces, online dating, social networks, etc., is a plus)

What the job involves

- The ideal candidate will use their expertise in product analytics, monetization strategies, and data science methods to help us make better decisions in the pricing, machine learning offers, and premium experiences space

Our take
In today's society, online communication is rapidly replacing face-to-face interaction across various aspects of life, including professional, platonic, and even romantic relationships. Dating apps like Tinder, with their quick sing-ups and swipe-based interface, have revolutionized the way people connect.
Tinder's innovative approach has significantly reduced the social stigma associated with online dating. This, coupled with the global rise of smartphones, has created a strong tailwind for the app. However, Tinder faces new challenges from competitors like Hinge, Bumble, and Thursday, who all capitalize on similar "swipe-based" mechanics, potentially attracting users away from the platform.
To address this, Tinder is actively seeking ways to reinvent its core product. The company is exploring the development of "Tinderverse", a shared virtual reality experience. Additionally, it is testing "Tinder Coins", an in-app currency earned through positive user behavior, allowing access to premium features. These initiatives demonstrate Tinder's commitment to remaining at the forefront of the ever-evolving online dating landscape.
