Job Description

As a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer on our Shared Services team, you’ll build and maintain the platform features and services that power multiple Match Group brands — including Match, BLK, and Chispa ( https://mtch.com/).

Instead of building for a single app, you’ll create reusable, foundational capabilities — shared photos, messaging, registration/login, search — used across our portfolio. Our philosophy: build once, deploy everywhere.

Match Group boasts more dates, more relationships and more marriages than any other dating business. Simply put, we change lives.

This is a Dallas-based role — we work together 3 days a week in our TX office.

We are always looking for top engineering talent! We encourage qualified candidates of all levels to apply for current and future consideration at Match Group.


How you’ll make an impact:

  • You’ll design, build, and maintain reusable backend services and APIs that are consumed by multiple consumer brands, not just one app
  • You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, and our Android, iOS, and Web engineers to turn platform needs into shared solutions
  • You’ll take an active role in technical design and architecture discussions for large-scale, cloud-native systems
  • You’ll help ensure the platform is scalable, reliable, and well-tested as it grows to support more brands
  • Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to expand beyond backend into mobile feature development — you'll have the opportunity to contribute where you can make the biggest impact


We could be a match if you bring:

  • Strong hands-on experience building backend services in C#/.NET including designing and consuming REST APIs and JSON data contracts
  • Solid understanding of microservices and event-driven / distributed architecture (e.g., Kafka), and how services communicate reliably at scale
  • Experience with relational databases (SQL Server, Postgres, or similar), data modeling, and query/performance optimization; familiarity with caching (Redis) is a plus
  • Strong grasp of software design patterns, SOLID, and clean architecture, plus both functional and object-oriented programming patterns
  • A habit of writing testable, maintainable code; comfortable with dependency injection and unit/integration testing, and values test-driven development and CI
  • The ability to break down complex or ambiguous requirements, estimate the scope of work before starting, and solve problems autonomously and creatively
  • Strong communication in both technical and non-technical discussions, and the ability to partner effectively with Product, Design, QA, and platform/mobile engineers
  • A sense of ownership and pride in your craft — you validate your own work rather than relying solely on QA — and a drive to continually improve both your skills and the codebase
  • Experience with — or genuine interest in learning — mobile development (Kotlin/Android or Swift/iOS), given the role’s cross-platform potential
  • Experience working with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code to accelerate delivery while keeping a critical eye on code quality and correctness


$ 100000- $120000 a year

Factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, job-related skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and business considerations may influence base pay offered.

This salary range is reflective of Dallas, TX. For all other locations, this salary may be subject to a geographic adjustment (according to a specific city and state), if an authorization is granted to work outside of the location listed in this posting.
