Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted 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. With millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all. About the Role Cloud Foundations is the bedrock of Hinge's engineering: the AWS infrastructure, networking, IaC, and Kubernetes systems that every product team builds on. When this team does its job well, the rest of engineering ships faster and operates more reliably by default. We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the 5-person Cloud Foundations team and serve as the key leader in the Platform group — owning both the team's outcomes and Hinge's broader infrastructure strategy. As a member of the Platform leadership team, you'll approach infrastructure like a product — understanding the needs of your internal customers and the business, shaping a roadmap that balances reliability, velocity, and cost, investing in the engineers behind the work, and staying close enough to the details to be credible in design reviews and on-call rotations. As a member of our team, you’ll enjoy: 401(k) Matching: We match 100% of the first 10% of pre-tax 401(k) contributions you make, up to a maximum of $10,000 per year. Professional Growth: Get an annual Learning & Development stipend once you’ve been with us for three months. You also get free access to Udemy, an online learning and teaching marketplace with over 6000 courses, starting your first day. Parental Leave & Planning: When you become a new parent, you’re eligible for 100% paid parental leave (20 paid weeks for both birth and non-birth parents.) Fertility Support: You’ll get easy access to fertility care through Carrot, from basic treatments to fertility preservation. We also provide a stipend towards fertility preservation. You and your spouse/domestic partner are both eligible. Date Stipend: All Hinge employees receive a $100 monthly stipend for epic dates– Romantic or otherwise. Hinge Premium is also free for employees and their loved ones. ERGs: We have eight Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—Asian, Unapologetic, Disability, LGBTQIA+, Raices, Women/Nonbinary, Parents —that hold regular meetings, host events, and provide dedicated support to the organization & its community. At Hinge, our core values are… Authenticity: We share, never hide, our words, actions and intentions. Courage: We embrace lofty goals and tough challenges. Empathy: We deeply consider the perspective of others. Diversity inspires innovation Hinge is an equal-opportunity employer. We value diversity at our company and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We believe success is created by a diverse workforce of individuals with different ideas, strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds.
