Job Description

At Bumble, we’re on a mission to create a world where all relationships are healthy and equitable.

This is a highly impactful individual contributor role with broad influence across engineering, product, and data. You’ll operate as a technical leader within the Bee AI team, setting direction for how we build, evaluate, and scale AI agents - while collaborating with purpose, taking ownership, and seeing ideas through to real-world impact.

AI in Bumble Inc. Hiring 
At Bumble, we may use AI tools to support parts of our recruitment process — such as helping us record, transcribe, and summarize conversations, and supporting job alignment by comparing resumes and job descriptions to highlight skills and potential roles that may be a good match. These tools help us work more efficiently and stay focused on you during our conversations. Importantly, all hiring decisions are made by people. AI is used only to support our team’s efficiency and improve the candidate experience — not to evaluate or decide on your candidacy. Participation in AI-supported interviews and conversations is completely voluntary and will not impact your candidacy. If you’d prefer to opt out, simply let your recruiter or interviewer know at the start of a call, or anytime during the interview or conversation. Summaries and related data are retained only as long as needed in line with our internal data retention policies. If at any point you’d like a transcription or summary deleted, please contact your recruiter directly.
For further information on how we hold and manage your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
