Lead technical delivery for key platform services in the dating industry, design and maintain backend systems, mentor engineers, and advocate for best practices in development.
The Core Platform Team within E&E (Evergreen & Emerging Brands) builds and maintains the foundational services, tools, and systems that power some of the most iconic and innovative brands in the dating industry-including Match, Meetic, BLK, OkCupid, Upward, Yuzu, and more. We design scalable, reliable, and secure backend platforms that enable product teams to deliver exceptional user experiences efficiently and consistently.
As a Senior Software Engineer II, you’ll take ownership of key platform systems, lead technical delivery for major initiatives, and collaborate with brand teams to drive scalability and performance across the Match ecosystem.

- Collaborate closely with brand engineering teams to understand platform needs and deliver shared solutions.
- Lead technical design and implementation for major projects within the Core Platform domain.
- Contribute to platform scalability and reliability, ensuring high performance and availability.
- Mentor and support engineers on the team through code reviews, design discussions, and pairing.
- Champion best practices in code quality, observability, and test-driven development (TDD).
We could be a Match if you have:
- Strong experience in .NET Core / .NET 6+
- Deep understanding of REST API design, microservices, and distributed systems
- Experience with database design and optimization (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or similar)
- Skills translating product and business requirements into scalable technical designs

- Strong advocate for test-driven development (TDD) and continuous integration
- Experience integrating unit, integration, and end-to-end testing into CI/CD pipelines
- Designed systems that are testable, observable, and maintainable
- Ability to take ownership of validating work, not relying solely on QA teams
- Demonstrated experience leading projects end-to-end within a team or domain
- Experience mentoring mid-level and junior engineers and sharing best practices
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience with mobile development
- Understanding of mobile CI/CD pipelines and release processes
