About Seeking

Seeking.com is the world’s largest premium dating platform. Founded and led by an MIT alumnus, headquartered in Las Vegas, and operating as a hybrid-remote organization, we sit at the intersection of technology, consumer psychology, and world-class product design.

Our business is as much data science and artificial intelligence as it is human understanding. We create at the forefronts of psychology, economics, art, fashion, cinematography, and the science of human connection. As a leader in the dating space, our mission is to help people foster genuine relationships and find love.

But we think bigger than dating. We believe social platforms have a responsibility to help people build stronger, more positive relationships — with others and with themselves. We’re not just optimizing a product. We’re rethinking how social networks can be redesigned to advance human connection and, ultimately, advance humanity as a whole. If that sounds ambitious, it is. And we need people who are drawn to ambition, not intimidated by it.

The Role: A Launchpad, Not a Landing Pad

Let’s be direct: this is not a role where you shadow people and take notes. This is not a role where you sit in on meetings and organize Jira tickets until someone decides you’re ready for real work.

This is a 6-to-12-month entry-level position designed with one purpose: to give you real product work from day one, help you discover which area of product you are most passionate about and most talented in, and give you the runway to prove you belong on this team permanently.

During this period, you will work across our product organization — rotating through product management, product design, and product research. You will ship features, run experiments, talk to users, prototype solutions, and present your work to leadership. You will be mentored by experienced product leaders who will challenge you and invest in your growth.

The goal? We want to hire people who think like product leaders from day one — people who don’t wait for permission to investigate, prototype, and propose. People so capable and driven that they make their managers think, “This person is going to run this team someday.”

What Makes This Different from a Typical APM Program

The big tech APM programs at Google, Uber, and Meta are structured, prestigious, and competitive. We admire them. But here’s what we offer that they can’t:

• Immediate ownership. At a company with thousands of PMs, you’re a cog. At Seeking, you’re building the machine. Your work will be in front of millions of users within months, not years.
• Breadth of exposure. You won’t be locked into one track. You’ll rotate across product management, design, and research to find where you excel — and we’ll help you get there.
• A mission that matters. We’re not optimizing ad clicks. We’re helping people find love and building a platform that fosters genuine human connection. The problems here are deeply human, technically complex, and worth solving.
• The intersection of engineering and empathy. Our product challenges sit where software engineering meets psychology, economics, and behavioral science. If you’re the kind of person who reads research papers for fun and then prototypes a solution the same afternoon, this is your place.
• AI is not a feature here — it’s the foundation. We don’t bolt AI onto existing products. We rethink our products around what AI makes possible. You’ll work with AI every day, and we expect you to push the boundaries of what it can do.

Who We’re Looking For

We want to invest in people who want to invest in themselves. The right candidate lives at the intersection of technical ability and human curiosity. Specifically:

• You are a builder. You don’t just talk about ideas — you make them. You’ve coded a project, designed a prototype, built an app, launched a side project, or hacked something together to solve a problem. You have a bias toward action.
• You are relentlessly curious. You’re the person who downloads every new app to understand how it works. You read about behavioral psychology, follow product teardowns, and have opinions about why certain experiences feel magical and others feel broken. You can’t stop investigating what’s next.
• You think in systems, not features. You don’t just see a button on a screen — you see the user motivation behind the click, the data event it triggers, the downstream impact on retention, and three ways it could be better. You think about second-order effects.
• You are AI-native. You don’t just “use” AI tools — you think with them. You’ve used ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Midjourney, or similar tools to prototype, analyze data, generate design concepts, write code, or accelerate your workflow. You have a point of view on where AI is headed and how it will reshape product experiences.
• You have the engineering fundamentals. You can read code, understand APIs, think about data schemas, and have a working knowledge of how software is built. You don’t need to be a senior engineer, but you need to speak the language fluently enough to collaborate deeply with one.
• You have the business instincts. You understand that a product has to work for the user and for the business. You think about conversion, retention, engagement, and monetization as naturally as you think about UX and delight.
• You are hungry. You see this role as the beginning of something significant. You want to grow into a product leader, and you’re willing to outwork and outlearn everyone around you to get there.
• You believe technology should serve humanity. You’re drawn to the idea that social platforms can be redesigned to help people build better relationships, better self-understanding, and better lives. You want your work to mean something.

What You’ll Do

Your work will span the full product development lifecycle. Depending on the rotation and projects you’re assigned to, expect to:

Product Management

• Write product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for features in development
• Define success metrics and track feature performance using analytics tools (Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar)
• Conduct competitive analysis and market research to identify trends, threats, and opportunities
• Participate in roadmap planning, sprint rituals, and cross-functional prioritization
• Design, run, and interpret A/B tests to optimize engagement, conversion, and retention
• Coordinate with engineering, design, and QA to ship features on time and to spec

Product Design & Prototyping

• Create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes to test ideas before committing engineering resources
• Use tools like Figma, Framer, or AI-assisted design tools to rapidly explore solutions
• Conduct usability testing to validate design decisions with real users
• Collaborate with designers to translate user insights into elegant, intuitive experiences
• Develop a strong sense of what “great” looks and feels like in a consumer product

Product Research & User Insight

• Conduct user interviews, surveys, and behavioral analysis to understand user needs and pain points
• Synthesize qualitative and quantitative data into actionable insights that inform product decisions
• Build and present research findings to product and leadership teams
• Identify patterns in user behavior that reveal opportunities for new features or experience improvements
• Develop empathy for our users by deeply understanding their motivations, frustrations, and goals

AI & Innovation

• Explore and prototype AI-powered features that could transform the user experience
• Evaluate emerging technologies and propose how they could be applied to Seeking’s product
• Use AI tools daily to accelerate research, analysis, prototyping, and documentation
• Contribute to Seeking’s broader vision of rethinking how social platforms can foster genuine human connection

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related technical field (recently completed or in final semester). We appreciate candidates with Ivy League pedigree, but we equally value those from any institution who have maintained a strong GPA and demonstrated they can excel academically.
• Technical foundation. You can code (or have coded) in at least one language. You understand how software systems work — APIs, databases, front-end/back-end architecture — well enough to have informed conversations with engineers.
• AI proficiency. You actively use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Midjourney, Copilot, or similar) in your work, projects, or personal experiments. You have a point of view on how AI will change product development. This is not optional.
• Prototyping ability. You can turn an idea into something tangible — whether that’s a Figma mockup, a coded prototype, a no-code app, or an AI-generated concept. You don’t wait for someone else to visualize your ideas.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — you’re comfortable with data, metrics, and evidence-based decision making
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can explain complex ideas simply and persuasively
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, take initiative, and drive projects to completion
• Must be able to travel for team meetings, user research sessions, company events, and project needs.
• Strong preference for candidates open to relocating to Las Vegas, Nevada — our headquarters and product hub.

Preferred

• Experience building a product, app, or meaningful side project from concept to launch
• Familiarity with product analytics tools (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Google Analytics)
• Familiarity with design tools (Figma, Sketch, Framer)
• Experience with SQL or data visualization tools
• Exposure to Agile/Scrum methodologies
• Coursework or self-study in behavioral psychology, behavioral economics, or human-computer interaction
• Experience in dating, social networking, marketplace, or consumer subscription products

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation: $75,000 – $90,000 annually — above the market average for entry-level product roles, because we’re looking for above-average people.
• A real career path. This position is designed to convert into a permanent Product Manager, Product Designer, or Product Researcher role. We’re building our product team and want to promote from within.
• Mentorship from senior product leaders who will invest in your development, challenge your thinking, and help you find your specialty.
• Meaningful work from day one. You’ll ship features to millions of users, run experiments that drive business outcomes, and prototype the future of our platform.
• Exposure to the full product stack — product management, design, research, data analytics, AI, and engineering collaboration. You’ll find your strength and we’ll help you double down on it.
• A mission worth building for. Seeking isn’t just a dating app. We’re rethinking how social platforms can help people build stronger relationships and better lives. Your work here will matter.
• A culture that rewards builders. We don’t reward people for being busy. We reward people who ship, who solve, and who push the product forward. If you deliver, you’ll grow fast here.

How to Apply

In your cover letter, answer these two questions:

1. Pick a consumer app you use regularly. What is one thing about the experience that’s broken, and how would you fix it? Be specific — we want to see how you think about product problems.

2. What have you built? Tell us about a project, prototype, app, experiment, or side hustle where you took an idea and made it real. We don’t care how polished it was. We care that you built it.

Bonus: Include a link to anything you’ve made — a portfolio, a GitHub repo, a prototype, a case study, a blog post. Show us how you think.

We’re not looking for a perfect resume. We’re looking for someone who builds things, breaks things, and can’t stop thinking about how to make them better.
