Job Description

Our mission at Duolingo is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. But weโ€™ve got more left to do โ€” and thatโ€™s where you come in!

Craft experiences that excite our learners to work toward their goals every day.

With over 500 million learners, Duolingo is the worldโ€™s most popular education app โ€” but how can we make sure they stay committed to learning every day? Enter content design!

Do you like games? Us too! Youโ€™ll be encouraged to take inspiration from mobile games, experimenting with new ways to hold our learnersโ€™ interest like the best games do.

This role reports to the Senior Manager, Content Designer as a member of the Content Design team. We sit within the Design org, the instrumental creative partner in most projects at Duolingo.

  • A gift for expressing complicated things in plain language
