We’re a lean, cross-functional team of highly motivated engineers, data scientists, product managers, community moderators, and anti-fraud specialists.

This position is located in Los Angeles, CA and we'll move you here!

Some projects we work on include:

Account Integrity: Systems for detecting and preventing attempts to create fake accounts, bots, and other forms of bad accounts that utilize various ML techniques, i.e. computer vision, supervised and unsupervised learning models

Anti-spam: Content and behavioral ML based detection of known and emerging spam patterns

Toxic behavior: Detecting and flagging interpersonal abuse (via NLP, user reports), as well as striving to educate our users and improve the overall health of interaction on Tinder

Data transparency: Online portal where our users can download their own Tinder data
