Product Designer, International Growth (Tinder Seoul)

About the role

• Legal Entity: Hyperconnect
• Brand: Tinder

[About the Team]
Tinder is available in 160+ countries, but the experience is still largely one-size-fits-all — and that's the opportunity. International Growth exists to change it: to build organic growth flywheels through deep localization, in close partnership with Marketing, starting in core APAC cities and turning what works into a repeatable, scalable playbook we can take to new markets.

Based in Seoul, we're a small, autonomous, cross-functional pod — Product, Design, Engineering, and Data working side by side, moving fast and shipping real experiments — in close partnership with regional local teams (Japan, India, and more) and the global organizations at our U.S. headquarters. Design sits at the center of the bet: making Tinder feel like it was built for each market, not merely translated for it.

[About the Role]
As a Product Designer on International Growth, you'll own end-to-end product design for experiences that reach users across some of the world's most exciting dating markets — from concept and research through launch. You'll design localized experiences that reflect each market's culture and the real needs of local users, help turn successful bets into a reusable localization playbook, and directly shape how millions of people discover, trust, and recommend Tinder.

Working shoulder to shoulder with PM, Engineering, Data, Marketing, and regional teams — and grounded in data and user research — you'll craft experiences that feel unmistakably local. And because the pod is small and fast, your work ships, gets measured, and improves quickly.

[Where you'll work]
This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week. Our office is located in Seoul.

What you'll do

• Own unified, end-to-end design for new features and improvements — from concept to release — across localized experiences in international markets.
• Design visual interfaces, wireframes, user flows, interactions, and prototypes.
• Design localized product experiences that reflect each market's cultural context and the real needs of local users.
• Starting in core APAC cities, design experiences that make users trust, enjoy, and recommend Tinder (improving engagement and reconsideration).
• Partner with Marketing and regional local teams to shape localization strategies that build organic growth flywheels, bringing a strong design perspective.
• Distill successful localization efforts into repeatable, scalable design patterns and playbooks, and extend them to new markets.
• Create and test concepts grounded in user research, data, and diverse insights, and deliver complete, end-to-end solutions.
• Maintain design consistency and quality across your own and adjacent teams based on the Tinder design system, flagging quality concerns to the responsible designers and design managers.
• Communicate design intent, goals, and rationale clearly through storytelling, in ways accessible to those unfamiliar with the project.
• Translate complex ideas into intuitive, high-quality designs, and validate and refine them through rapid experimentation and iteration.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional product design experience (including 2+ years in mobile design).
• Fluency across the full 01 product design process: discovery, research, concepting, information architecture (IA), prototyping, interaction design, micro-interactions, and design QA with engineering.
• Experience designing for iOS, Android (and web), with an understanding of Apple's HIG and Material Design patterns.
• Strong visual design fundamentals — typography, layout, and color — with outstanding visual design skills.
• Proficiency with Figma, prototyping tools, and design systems.
• Experience making decisions grounded in data and user research, and refining designs based on the results.
• Ability to collaborate smoothly with partners and senior leaders across functions and cultures, with a self-driven, low-ego attitude and a bias for moving fast.
• Able to travel internationally without restriction

Preferred qualifications

• Experience localizing a global service or designing products for international markets.
• Understanding of users in Asian markets (Japan, India, etc.) or experience with localization projects.
• Product design experience improving user acquisition and retention in close partnership with Growth or Marketing.
• A portfolio of launching and scaling products for a large user base across multiple markets.
• Experience designing core user journeys such as onboarding, profile, and Trust & Safety.
• Experience with research and iteration using quantitative data, surveys, and usability testing.
• Experience leveraging AI tools and the broader AI ecosystem to design and work more innovatively and productively.
• Professional working proficiency in English (Seoul-based, global cross-timezone role).
