AI first

AI is how a small team does enormous things. There is no red tape or capped plans, but an expectation to reach for tools.

“I told our AI Enablement lead I thought we were in the 90th percentile of AI usage. The response? 'Let's get to the 99th.' That's Grindr's mindset. We have a generous budget, cutting-edge tools, and we're encouraged to experiment and build awesome things.”

The edge

We work hard and live big lives outside the office. People bring their whole selves; the edge in the brand shows up as honesty in the culture.

Work hard and live big lives.

Wherever you're from

We support immigrants working at Grindr and are open to sponsorship.

“Grindr sponsored my visa with no issues at all and I think that's a relatively rare thing to do as a company. It says something about their commitment to talent: if they find someone who fits, they just go the extra mile. It's a very inclusive environment in that sense.”
Milan Kovacic
Head of International

That's Grindr mode

Grindr mode holds us accountable to doing excellent work with purpose, while also having lives outside of it.

Our people

“A lot of companies are still working out how to get real AI leverage. Grindr's engineering team is already small, already adopting AI, and already supporting an app at serious scale. This is the model companies will eventually end up in - Grindr is already there.”

Ramya Prem
Senior Engineering Manager

“We're basically a three-billion-dollar startup, which is super rare. Look at our headcount (less than 200) and the way we operate and we're a startup - but with hundreds of millions in revenue and 16 million monthly active users. That’s rare.”

Max Roche
Staff iOS Engineer

“I've made some of my closest friends here and ended up in rooms I never could have imagined. Genuinely good people who are also seriously smart. Scrappy, playful, fast-paced - it’s an incredible place to work.”
