In today's digital world, finding genuine relationships is tougher than ever. At Hinge, we’re on a mission to inspire intimate connection to create a less lonely world. We’re obsessed with understanding our users’ behaviors to help them find love, and our success is defined by one simple metric– setting up great dates. With tens of millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all.
About the Role
Hinge is hiring a Lead Product Manager, Platform. As a member of the Platform team, you will build the systems, tooling, and policies that enable smarter communication and faster learning across every product at Hinge. With a focus on Accessibility and Design Systems, this role offers a unique opportunity to own horizontal infrastructure that directly supports company-wide growth, retention, and product quality.
You’ll collaborate closely with Engineering, Product Marketing, Trust & Safety, and cross-functional product teams to evolve the core foundations of our messaging and experimentation platforms. This is an ideal role for a systems thinker who is comfortable with both technical depth and UX-level decisions—and who thrives in aligning infrastructure with user value.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Design and Engineering to evolve shared components, patterns, and tooling that enable consistent, high-quality experiences across platforms.
- Lead accessibility initiatives that ensure Hinge meets and exceeds accessibility standards, embedding inclusive design principles into product development workflows.
- Collaborate with Product, Design, Legal, and Engineering to manage compliance, governance, and best practices related to accessibility.
- Build systems and processes that make accessibility and design standards easy to adopt, measure, and maintain across teams.
- Partner with Product Marketing, Trust & Safety, and Growth teams to manage compliance, policy, and global delivery considerations for communication systems.
- Set and uphold policies for experimentation design and success criteria that enable high-integrity learning across teams.
- Serve as a platform leader and trusted partner to product teams, helping them leverage design systems and accessibility tooling to ship faster and with higher confidence.
- Serve as a trusted platform leader and collaborator to product managers, marketers, engineers, and executives, clearly communicating roadmaps, rationale, and tradeoffs.
What We’re Looking For
- 8+ years of product management experience, including 3+ years in platform, infrastructure, or enablement-focused roles.
- Proven track record of owning cross-functional systems or platforms that support multiple product teams.
- Experience working closely with design systems, accessibility initiatives, or UX platforms (direct ownership or deep partnership).
- Strong technical fluency and comfort collaborating with engineers on shared systems and tooling.
- Strong technical fluency with the ability to translate between engineering detail and business value.
- Excellent product judgment with a bias toward scalable, maintainable systems.
- A consistent track record of cross-functional collaboration with engineering, data science, marketing, and design.
- A systems-oriented communicator who operates with high autonomy and a deep belief in Hinge’s mission to make dating more intentional—and in the platform foundations that enable that mission to scale.

Apply for this roleWhat does Hinge’s relationship with Match Group mean?
What does Hinge’s relationship with Match Group mean?
In early 2019, Hinge became part of Match Group. Since then, Hinge’s executive team has continued to set our mission, vision, and the working norms that guide how we show up every day. While some corporate functions are supported at the Match Group level, working at Hinge is unique experience — shaped by our people, our values, and our product.
TL;DR: We get the best of both worlds! Hinge still operates like a small, mission-driven company, and we have the stability and resources of a company that’s stood the test of time.
I’ve never used Hinge before. Am I still a fit for this role?

Our team is passionate about the dating industry and we hope you’ll be passionate about it too!

TLDR: Beautiful working spaces, lots of plants, even more food and snacks, dog friendly - 3 days a week :)
