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. **Possible Focus Areas** **Product Design** * Analyze user problems and translate them into strategic hypotheses and solutions. * Design UI & UX for these solutions. * Collaborate with product to write a specification for the feature. **Expected Deliverables** * Proof of Concept of the feature (feature specification or working app flow). * Documentation of the design (wireframes, mock-ups, API schemas, flowcharts). * Final presentation to the team with lessons learned and a demo of the PoC. **Way of Working** * You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team with product, design, engineering, and analytics. * Agile approach: weekly check-ins, demos, and quick feedback. * Access to real methodologies we use daily: user interviews, surveys, usability testing. **What You’ll Learn** * How to build for an app with millions of users worldwide. * How to work in an international, multidisciplinary team. * How to make an impact with state-of-the-art mobile & backend technologies. * How to go through the entire process, from idea to prototype to live test. **As Part Of Our Team, You'll Enjoy** * The hustle of a startup with the impact of a global business * Tremendous opportunity to solve some of the industry’s most exciting problems * Working with an extraordinary team of smart, creative, fun and highly motivated people **Commitment to Inclusion** At Tinder, we don’t just accept difference, we celebrate it. We strive to build a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members around the world, and we value unique perspectives and backgrounds.
