2026 June - Product Designer (new grad)
Introduction to role & team
At Bumble, we’re building a world where healthy, equitable relationships — romantic and platonic — can spark and thrive. Our Product Design team helps shape those experiences with care, clarity, and craft, so people feel seen, safe, and empowered as they connect. This early-career Product Designer role brings a Gen Z lens to how we imagine, test, and refine product moments — from onboarding to everyday interactions — grounded in our values of Curiosity and Respect. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Research, and you’ll start building strong habits around thoughtful, responsible use of AI as part of your design toolkit.
What you’ll do
Bring a Gen Z perspective into product thinking by turning cultural signals and user feedback into clear design opportunities, with Curiosity and Joy.
Design flows and UI for web and mobile experiences, producing high-quality artifacts (wireframes, prototypes, specs) that help the team ship with confidence.
Use lightweight discovery methods (e.g., quick user interviews, usability checks, desk research) to validate assumptions and improve designs.
Create prototypes to communicate interaction patterns and test early, iterating quickly with an agile mindset.
Apply responsible AI in your workflow (e.g., summarising feedback themes, exploring copy directions, accelerating iteration), while using human judgment to check for bias, safety, and inclusivity.
Contribute to design system consistency and accessibility practices so experiences feel cohesive and work well for a wide range of people.
Participate in critiques and cross-functional rituals, giving and receiving feedback with Courage and Respect.
About you
0–1 years of experience in product design or a related field, and a Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Informatics, Digital Media, or similar — or equivalent practical experience.
Internship experience and/or shipped product work (class projects, portfolio pieces, or side projects) that shows end-to-end thinking.
A portfolio that demonstrates interaction design fundamentals, visual craft, and how you make decisions (not just final screens).
Comfort collaborating with cross-functional partners — you collaborate with purpose, communicate clearly, and incorporate feedback without losing ownership.
A practical, learning-first approach to AI: you’re curious about using AI tools to speed up exploration and synthesize inputs, and you know when not to use them.
Strong attention to inclusive design, accessibility basics, and designing for diverse users with Respect.
Familiarity with modern design tools (e.g., Figma) and prototyping workflows.
An agile mindset: you iterate quickly, learn from experiments, and see work through from insight to impact.

AI in Bumble Inc. Hiring
At Bumble, we may use AI tools to support parts of our recruitment process — such as helping us record, transcribe, and summarize conversations, and supporting job alignment by comparing resumes and job descriptions to highlight skills and potential roles that may be a good match. These tools help us work more efficiently and stay focused on you during our conversations. Importantly, all hiring decisions are made by people. AI is used only to support our team’s efficiency and improve the candidate experience — not to evaluate or decide on your candidacy. Participation in AI-supported interviews and conversations is completely voluntary and will not impact your candidacy. If you’d prefer to opt out, simply let your recruiter or interviewer know at the start of a call, or anytime during the interview or conversation. Summaries and related data are retained only as long as needed in line with our internal data retention policies. If at any point you’d like a transcription or summary deleted, please contact your recruiter directly.
