Our Mission
As humans, there are few things more exciting than meeting someone new. At Tinder, we’re inspired by the challenge of keeping the magic of human connection alive. With tens of millions of users, hundreds of millions of downloads, 2+ billion swipes per day, 20+ million matches per day, and a presence in 190+ countries, our reach is expansive—and rapidly growing.
We work together to solve complex problems. Behind the simplicity of every match, we think deeply about human relationships, behavioral science, network economics, AI and ML, online and real-world safety, cultural nuances, loneliness, love, sex, and more.
Our Values
_Take the Lead_
We don't ghost our work or each other. Just as users don't leave their matches hanging, we don't let each other down.
_Move Fast_
We have a bias for action and urgency. Something that could be done tomorrow would be better if done today.
_Better Together_
We keep connection at the heart of dating and at the heart of how we work. Just as our users are better when they connect with others, so are we when we collaborate.
_Real Talk_
We say the hard thing the human way. Just as we ask our users to behave with kindness and candor in our community, we expect Team Tinder to do the same.
_Safety First_
We act with integrity, transparency, and consistency so people feel safe—whether they're swiping, matching, or working alongside us.
_Spark Fun_
We have fun to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and help us build better experiences for daters.
Program Duration
The internship program will run from June 1 through August 28, 2026.
