Senior Product Designer, Badoo

Job description

Introduction to Role & Team Badoo is one of the world's largest dating apps, connecting millions of people across the globe. It's a mature, much-loved product with enormous reach, and we're in the middle of an ambitious chapter: modernising the experience, sharpening how we help members find real connections, and building a healthier, more sustainable business.

Help modernise Badoo's design foundations. Our design system is a work in progress; you'll contribute patterns and components that raise consistency and quality across a large, mature product. Collaborate closely with PMs, UXR, data science, and engineers to frame problems, validate hypotheses, synthesise insights, and evolve designs based on evidence, accepting that data is sometimes imperfect and that judgment matters.
