iOS Engineer Intern

Salary Range: 47 to 47 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-hour-wage)

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.

What you'll do:

• Collaborate on the development, implementation and  functionality of Tinder's newest features and platform architecture.
• Build robust, lasting, and scalable products that serve millions of users.
• Work on systems that handle billions of data events a day.
• Leverage large scale multi-channel communications to keep users well-informed (push notifications, emails, in-app messaging, and more).
• Write unit and integration tests.

What we're looking for:

• Aspiring iOS developer who’s excited to work on large scale challenges with cutting-edge technology.
• Proficiency in coding with Swift.
• Foundational knowledge of basic Computer Science principles: data structures and algorithms.
• Currently pursuing a BS/BA, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related field.

Nice to have:

• Prior Internship or work experience on a native mobile application.
• Completed mobile project experience (i.e. hackathons, personal projects, GitHub, Open Source, volunteer coding experience etc.).
• Familiarity with architecture frameworks such as MVC, MVVM, Viper etc.
• Aware of native app development tools/concepts like xcode, core data, core animation, dependency injection, combine, swift UI, UI kit etc. is not required but a bonus.
