Contribute to engineering standards and best practices to maintain a high-quality codebase.

4–5 years of professional experience in backend software engineering.

Proven ability to run projects autonomously and deliver production-ready systems.

Strong proficiency in one or more backend programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, Node.js, Kotlin).

2+ years working with cloud environments (preferably GCP), including deployment and monitoring.

Exposure to secure API design, distributed systems, and microservices architecture.

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and containerization tools like Docker or Kubernetes.

Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform) and observability platforms.

Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, inclusive mindset.

Own meaningful projects that directly impact millions of Bumble users.

Learn and grow in a high-performing engineering team committed to mentorship and learning.

Be part of a culture that values inclusion, collaboration, and innovation.

Enjoy competitive compensation, equity, and world-class benefits.
