What You’ll Do


As a Software Engineering Intern at Bumble, you won’t just be shadowing, you’ll be building, learning, and shaping the future of online connections with us. Joining us on a summer placement from June through to September 2025, you can expect:


💡 Create & Innovate: Design, develop, and deploy real-world software solutions that help people connect. As part of the selection process we want to hear what motivates you, and we’ll try to match you to a relevant part of our business where you’ll work on tackling real problems.


🛠️ Problem solve Like a Pro: Understand customer needs, overcome challenges, debug issues, and optimise performance with the guidance of a mentor from our team of experienced engineers.


💻 Collaborate & Contribute: You’ll not only work with engineers, but also with a range of cross-functional partners from the business, participate in brainstorming sessions and share your ideas.


📚 Learn & Grow: Dive into cutting-edge technologies and gain hands-on experience in software development, testing and deployment.

  • 🔧 Technical Skills: A passion for building on your existing foundational programming skills, and experience in a language such as Python, Kotlin, Swift, Javascript, PHP, or Go. We don’t expect you to be the finished article and we’re also open to you applying your existing skills to a new domain, but we’re looking for people who do have an existing technical foundation rather than starting totally from scratch.
  • 🧠 Curiosity & Creativity: A love for learning and a knack for thinking outside the box.
  • 🤝 Team Spirit: Great communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
  • 🐝 Alignment with our Bumble values: Our mission is all about Kind Connections, and our values are Growth, Kindness, Equity, Accountability, and Honesty.
  • 🧑‍🎓Undergrad student: You will be studying Computer Science or a related degree and are due to graduate in the summer of 2026. Applications from those studying a related postgraduate course will also be considered.


Nice-to-Haves:
  • 🌐 Experience with mobile development frameworks (SwiftUI, Kotlin, React Native, etc.).
  • ☁️ Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure).
  • 📊 Knowledge of databases (SQL, MongoDB et) and version control (GitHub).


What’s in It for You?
  • 🎓 Hands-on experience on real Bumble projects: Build out your CV, work on meaningful projects that impact real people, and build skills you’ll carry for a lifetime. 
  • 💷 Paid position: This is a paid position and during the intern period you’ll also receive other benefits including our free onsite lunch, and in-office gather hours. All equipment will also be provided.
  • 🌟 Mentorship: Learn from industry leaders who are passionate about helping you succeed.
  • 🌎 Networking Opportunities: Connect with talented professionals and peers in the tech world.
  • 📝 Learning & Development: Our Talent Development team will help hone your skills in CV writing and networking and help you navigate the workplace with sessions on building relationships and influencing in a business setting.
  • 🌈 Inclusive Culture: Be part of a team that values and continues to build on diversity, creativity, and innovation.
  • 🚪 Career Launchpad: This is a great opportunity to prove yourself for future roles at Bumble Inc after graduation.


About Us


Bumble Inc. is a connections company with a suite of products that bring people together throughout their lives. The company’s foundations began in 2014, when Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble, our women-first app which is built around the principles of kindness, respect and equality. Bumble connects people across dating (Bumble Date), friendship (Bumble For Friends) and professional networking (Bumble Bizz). We’re led by our CEO Lidiane Jones and our wider executive management team.


Our wider portfolio includes dating apps Badoo, which was founded in 2006 as one of the pioneers of web and mobile dating products, Fruitz founded in 2017, which encourages open and honest communication of dating intentions through playful fruit metaphors, and Official, an app for couples that promotes open and honest communication between partners and was founded in 2020. In 2024, Bumble Inc. also acquired Geneva to help people discover and find groups of friends online to build connections offline.



How to Apply


Ready to take the leap? Send us your CV/resume, a short cover letter, and links to any personal projects or GitHub repos that showcase your talents.


We’re planning on receiving applications until the end of January, but if there’s exceptional levels of interest then we may close early. The process will be:


- Submit an application with your CV, cover letter, and other links you’d like to share.


- Throughout January we’ll review applications as they come in, and will invite some candidates through to the next stage.


- If selected, you’ll be provided with a candidate pack with full details of the rest of the process and will have an initial call with one of our Talent team. The pack will give you more detail and guidance on what to prep for each stage of the process.


- Following that, we’ll select people to go through to the interview stage. This will be in two parts with technical and values-based interviews, where you’ll get to meet some of the wider team. Each interview will be 40 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes for your questions (50 mins total).


1. The technical interview will be a mix of questions asking you to explain concepts or how you would approach problems, plus a problem solving activity where you’ll put your coding knowledge into practice.


2. The values-based interview will be conversational, “tell me about a time” style questions which will help us understand more about your approach.


- We currently aim to complete the selection process by the end of February 2025.
