Job Details

Our mission at Duolingo is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. It’s a big mission, and even though we've made a lot of headway, we still have work to do — and that’s where you come in!

Our Product Managers (PMs) have ownership over product optimizations and features, from independently run experiments to major product decisions. Backed by strong analytical skills and business acumen, and inspired by access to senior leadership and transparency into how they make product decisions, our PMs develop insights that lead to new product ideas and Duolingo’s next beloved feature. 

Join our life-changing mission to develop education for our half a billion (and growing!) learners around the world.


About the role

You'll be a key product leader in our outstanding Growth Area. The Growth Area focuses on attracting new users, retaining current users, and bringing users back to Duolingo. More users = more data (so we can teach better) and more paid subscribers (so we can invest in making the app even better, and keep the lights on!). The Growth Area’s goal is to make Duolingo so fun and delightful that our learners stick around to make real progress and tell their friends all about it!

 

  You will...

  • Lead other product managers
  • Drive strategy for a product or product area
  • Drive product features through their entire creative cycle: ideation, specification, development, release, analysis, and iteration
  • Be responsible for hitting the key performance indicators you are entrusted with
  • Perform qualitative and quantitative research to discover feature ideas and validate them before development
  • Work closely with UI/UX designers to ensure an excellent user experience in our product
  • Work with engineers to help guide feature development
  • Perform quantitative analysis on features’ performance and find opportunities for optimization
  • Be responsible for building features that make learning on Duolingo more fun, like the streak, leaderboard, achievements, and new ones you'll invent.

 

  You have...

  • A desire to make the world a better place through technology and education
  • Experience leading other product managers
  • Experience generating outstanding results as a product manager in a consumer application, product, or software role
  • Ability to utilize user insights, data, and statistical analyses to inform decisions
  • An instinct for creating simple and intuitive user experiences
  • Proven ability to learn fast
  • Demonstrated ability to be resourceful and innovative
  • Experience leading projects and teams
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Business, Design, Linguistics, or related field

 

  Exceptional candidates will have...

  • Advanced degree in Business, Computer Science, Design, Psychology, or related field
  • Professional experience in areas highly related to our work as product managers at Duolingo, such as software engineering, design, data analysis or language learning.

Take a peek at how we care for our employees' holistic well-being with our benefits here.

We will do everything we can within reason to make sure that your interview takes place in an environment that fairly and accurately assesses your skills. If you need assistance or accommodation, please contact your recruiter.
