The Team or RoleWe are looking for a Staff Product Manager to join our Anti-Abuse Team. You will own a consequential area of our safety charter: reducing the prevalence and impact of policy-violating actors and content on Tinder. You will set direction across detection, prevention, remediation, and enforcement, and sustain it across multiple related initiatives.
Where you'll work:
This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration
three times per week in our New York or Los Angeles offices.
In this role, you will:- Own the product strategy and multi-quarter roadmap for a core abuse area including explicit choices about what we will and will not pursue.
- Make principled calls on the tradeoffs this domain forces, from precision versus recall to automated action versus human review, and set guardrails that keep those calls consistent.
- Partner closely with Anti-Abuse Analysts to uncover evolving bad actor tactics and translate them into durable product defenses.
- Drive execution and alignment across Engineering, Design, Data Science, Policy, Legal, and Trust & Safety Operations, turning community guidelines into scalable, enforceable systems.
- Define the measurement foundation for your area, including prevalence, exposure, repeat offending, false positives, and appeal outcomes, and how we evaluate impact where clean experiments are not possible.
- Apply AI and ML where they create real leverage in detection, classification, and review, with a clear view of what makes each bet worth pursuing.
- Be the authoritative product voice on anti-abuse at Tinder: communicate strategy, tradeoffs, and impact to senior leadership, and drive executive-level alignment on high-stakes enforcement decisions, including when the answer is unpopular with Growth.
- Hold the quality bar for shipped enforcement experiences: stay hands-on with the product and fix root causes rather than individual bugs.
What You Bring:- A track record of sustained, material outcomes across multiple related initiatives in Trust & Safety, fraud, abuse prevention, content moderation, or risk.
- Systems thinking across the full abuse lifecycle, with the judgment to know when a problem calls for better detection, a different intervention, or a change to the experience itself.
- Strong product intuition for remediation and enforcement experiences that are effective, fair, and intelligible to the people on the receiving end, holding that under-enforcement is a fairness failure as much as over-enforcement.
- Demonstrated ability to operate in highly ambiguous, adversarial environments and deliver resilient, scalable solutions.
- Analytical rigor, including comfort reasoning from imperfect data and holding a credible line on what the evidence does and does not support.
You'll need:- Minimum of 8+ years of product management or other relevant experience building and scaling products or systems.
- Ability to set direction and drive execution on large, cross-functional initiatives from concept to launch and iteration.
- Strong communication skills with experience presenting to and influencing senior stakeholders.
- Fluency with ML-based detection systems. Comfortable discussing precision, recall, model thresholds, and data pipelines with engineers.
- Working knowledge of the online safety regulatory environment, and the ability to translate regulatory requirements into product decisions rather than handing them to Legal.
- Hands-on with data. Writes their own SQL and interrogates prevalence and precision numbers rather than accepting a dashboard.
- Fluency applying AI tools in product work, with clear judgment about where they add leverage and where they don't.
- Conviction to advocate for user safety and platform integrity.
Nice to have:- Experience with age assurance, identity verification, or biometric signals in a consumer product.
- Experience with adversarial ML, including evasion, model drift, or detection of AI-generated content.
- Experience in consumer social or dating platform.
