Job Description:

At Bumble, we’re building a world where all relationships are healthy and equitable - and that work depends on technology that people can trust. The Trust & Safety Engineering team plays a vital role in protecting our members, our communities, and our platform at global scale, designing systems that help kindness thrive while preventing harm. As Director of Engineering for Trust & Safety, you’ll lead multiple squads of engineers working on high-impact, sensitive systems that sit at the heart of Bumble’s mission. You’ll shape how we scale resilient, responsible, and future-ready platforms, while role-modelling our Bumble values of Courage, Respect, and Excellence in how you lead. AI is central to how this team operates: not as a bolt-on, but as a core capability embedded into engineering strategy, delivery, and decision-making.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead and grow multiple engineering squads, supporting ICs and managers across many seniority levels to deliver systems that are reliable, scalable, and aligned to Bumble’s commitment to healthy, equitable connections
  • Contribute to a clear technical and organisational vision for Trust & Safety engineering, translating company strategy into executable roadmaps and outcomes with measurable impact
  • Embed AI thoughtfully into engineering practices, from leveraging machine-learning-powered tooling to improving detection, automation, and operational decision-making at scale
  • Partner closely with Product, Data, Design, Legal, and Operations leaders, collaborating with purpose to balance member experience, platform integrity, and business needs
  • Create inclusive, high-performing team environments where engineers feel empowered to take ownership, learn continuously, and see work through from insight to impact
  • Guide architectural decisions across distributed systems, APIs, and data pipelines, ensuring solutions are robust, privacy-aware, and built for long-term sustainability
  • Champion engineering excellence by improving delivery practices, reliability metrics, and incident response for complex, always-on systems
  • Role model Bumble values of Courage and Curiosity by encouraging responsible experimentation, learning from outcomes, and adapting with an agile mindset as the platform evolves

Requirements:

  • You are a people-first engineering leader who finds energy in building, scaling, and supporting managers and teams working on complex, mission-critical systems
  • You bring strong experience leading multiple squads or groups within an engineering organisation, with accountability for delivery, technical direction, and team health
  • You are fluent in modern engineering systems and practices (including distributed architectures, service reliability, and secure data handling) and can translate technical nuance for diverse audiences
  • You actively embed AI into how teams work, setting expectations for responsible use, evaluating opportunities for automation and insight, and guiding teams through adoption with confidence
  • You work cross-functionally with ease, take ownership of outcomes, and adapt plans quickly while keeping long-term goals in focus
  • You role model Bumble values of Respect and Excellence through inclusive leadership, thoughtful decision-making, and a commitment to building technology that serves people well
  • Typically requires 10–15 years of experience, though we welcome candidates with alternative backgrounds that demonstrate equivalent skills
  • You’re curious by nature, open to new approaches, reflective about impact, and motivated by work that reaches beyond your team to influence the wider organisation
What we offer:
  • Medical
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • 401(k) match
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off Policy
  • Maven Fertility: $10,000 lifetime benefit for fertility, adoption, abortion care, and more
