Our mission at Duolingo is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. But we’ve got more left to do — and that’s where you come in!

Duolingo is the world's most popular learning app. Beyond our core learning product, we also offer English proficiency testing with the Duolingo English Test, and are bringing new subjects into the Duolingo app, where people can develop their Math and Music skills.

  • Set and uphold our high quality bar across Design Studio along with other Creative Directors

  • Mentor, inspire, and develop the skills and talents of the artists and designers you direct

  • Lead pitches and presentations for your projects

  • Build strong relationships with partners across Design, Product, Engineering, Marketing, and more
