Senior Director of Product

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 most popular language-learning application in the world, with over 500 million users and over half a billion exercises completed daily. Beyond our core learning product, we have also entered into literacy with Duolingo ABC, English proficiency testing with the Duolingo English Test, and even Math.

We are passionate about educating our users, making fact-based decisions, and finding innovative solutions to complex problems. We offer meaningful work, limitless learning opportunities, and collaboration with world-class minds. Come brighten your life and over half a billion more!

You'll be a key product leader in our outstanding Monetization Area, responsible for growing bookings for English learners internationally. With our learning app, we have developed a successful business model based on subscriptions, in-app purchases, and ads without charging users for learning content — staying true to our mission. You will set the strategy for which countries to target, which pricing/packaging/payment levers to pull, and collaborate with content, marketing, and biz dev functions to drive success in these markets.
