We’re looking for an ML leader with strong technical understanding, business acumen and proven track record of leading small high-performing teams of data scientists and machine learning engineers. At Bumble, the Engineering Manager role is all about leadership, execution, and delivery - while also contributing to the broader community and shaping our engineering culture!
Trust and Safety is truly at the heart of Bumble Inc.’s mission to create a world where all relationships are healthy and equitable through kind connections. We believe that everyone deserves a safe and comfortable place to make empowered, respectful, and meaningful connections. We think big, as you can see from some of the changes we’re making in the wider world:

Our technology-related work in the Trust space is a key part of this. We’re responsible for complex and meaningful problems including member and content authenticity; detecting and combating toxic behaviour and content whilst encouraging kindness; creating and maintaining support, moderation, and operational tooling; and using a range of technologies leveraging machine learning at their core: with millions of images and messages exchanged on our platform every day, there is a wealth of opportunity to make a real difference in this role and help people to find meaningful connections all over the world!
We currently maintain several machine learning solutions at internet scale, spanning from content moderation to proactive detection of inauthentic profiles, among the others! We leverage the most modern technological stack in this industry, both from a modelling standpoint (Tensorflow, Pytorch, ONNX) and from a MLOps perspective: we serve tens of thousands requests per second in our GPU-powered Kubernetes clusters!
