Product Design Internship

Tinder's mission is to bring people together and create meaningful relationships. For over 10 years, Tinder has been the place to meet new people. The new generations of daters think differently about relationships. Today, they’re looking for more and new ways to connect and share experiences. Our team in Ghent focuses on these New Experiences: we design, test, and build innovative features that enable new forms of discovery on top of the existing Tinder experience. During this internship, you’ll contribute to an experiment that brings this vision to life.   The Assignment Develop an innovative feature that helps users find people in a new way and/or tools that enable this. You’ll collaborate with our multidisciplinary Product, Design, Engineering & Analytics team. You’ll work on Product Design of this feature. You’ll work closely with the product managers to translate a product hypothesis into a feature, with a strong focus on UI and UX design. You’ll work closely with the team to help follow up on the project until delivery and then monitor the results. During an intake interview, we’ll jointly determine the precise scope of the assignment, tailored to your technical background and interests.
