About The Position

The Bee AI team is reimagining how people meet by introducing an intelligent, AI-powered product that sits alongside Bumble Date — helping members connect in more curated, thoughtful, and human ways, while preserving the magic of matching and conversation at the core of the Bumble experience. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll help shape and scale the systems powering this next generation of connection. Bee is already live and evolving quickly, and this role will play an important part in building intelligent agent experiences that guide interactions, enhance matchmaking, and continuously learn from member behaviour. You’ll contribute to how AI shows up responsibly and meaningfully in people’s experiences, bringing curiosity, strong engineering judgment, and a commitment to thoughtful experimentation. This is a highly collaborative individual contributor role where you’ll work closely with engineering, product, design, and data partners to turn ambitious ideas into reliable, scalable product experiences. You’ll help drive technical excellence across the Bee AI platform while collaborating with purpose, taking ownership, and seeing ideas through to meaningful member impact.
