What the role asks for

What you'd do

  • Own core recs improvements, end to end. Take defined areas from problem to shipped result, and move core user and business metrics.
  • Make the algorithm feel personal. Partner with data science and ML to improve how we rank and personalize, making the calls on inputs, ranking logic, and experience.
  • Turn ambiguity into a roadmap. Decide what matters most, sequence the work, make the tradeoffs, and keep partners aligned as things change.
  • Decide with evidence. Use experiments, behavioral data, and research to guide your calls when the signals are imperfect.
  • Bring people along. Communicate your plan and results clearly - whether to an engineer in standup or a leader in a review.
  • Protect trust. Recommendations shape who gets seen. Keep the system fair, safe, and true to Hinge's values.
  • 4+ years of product management experience, ideally on personalization, recommendations, ranking, or other ML-powered consumer products.
  • A track record of owning a product area end to end and driving measurable improvements to core user outcomes at scale.
  • Comfort partnering closely with data science, ML, and engineering - technically fluent enough to shape direction on model inputs, ranking, and tradeoffs without needing to be deeply technical.
  • Strong communication skills, especially translating complex ideas for non-technical audiences.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and making principled calls in high-impact spaces.
  • Experience with products that match people or content (e.g., dating, marketplaces, social feeds, or hiring).
  • Curiosity about dating and the human side of product development, and an interest in the fairness, ethics, and inclusivity of algorithmic systems.
  • A point of view on how AI tools can raise the quality and speed of product work.
