Chief Product Officer

About :

is a dating app created intentionally for a community of authentic and open-minded humans seeking connection in a way that allows each member to come as they are. Founded by designers, we believe that the "uncomfortable" can be made beautiful through intentional, elegant design. We provide a sanctuary for exploration, where human intimacy is treated with the artistry it deserves.

As societal norms shift and what was once considered "alternative" becomes part of the cultural zeitgeist, is evolving too. We aren't just keeping pace with changing norms; we are actively designing the frameworks that will define the future of human connection.

This role requires both visionary leadership and practical engagement: the ability to map out where human intimacy is heading over the next decade, while simultaneously going deep into the weeds to evaluate what’s working, what isn’t, and why.
