Senior Product Designer, BFF
At Bumble, we’re building equitable relationships across love, life, and work — and with Bumble BFF, we’re reimagining how people find friendship, belonging, and community in an increasingly disconnected world. From discovery to shared experiences, BFF exists to help people truly find their people, and design plays a critical role in making those moments feel human, inclusive, and joyful.
As a Senior Product Designer on the Bumble BFF Design team, you’ll lead design work for meaningful product initiatives that help millions of members form and grow real friendships. You’ll partner closely with product, engineering, and research to turn complex problems into intuitive experiences, while role-modeling Bumble values like Curiosity, Courage, and Respect through your craft and collaboration. This role blends strong individual ownership with thoughtful influence — helping shape the product while continuously raising the quality of how we design and build together, including through responsible use of AI-powered tools.
