Meant To Be Inc
Job Description
We are a venture-backed, stealth-stage technology company building next-generation matchmaking and relationship platforms. Our mission is to reimagine how people connect, using AI, community, and content as our building blocks.
We’re not building another dating app — we’re creating an experience where users feel:
“This app gets me.”
At the core of our product is a real-time, ML recommendation engine — similar to Spotify for song moods or TikTok for content discovery.
We are well-funded and backed by marquee VCs in India and the US

- Partner with ML engineers to deliver data adapters for model inputs, embedding generation, and training loops
