Duolingo

We do strategy differently at Duolingo. For example, we don’t have a detailed 3- or 5-year roadmap. What we do have is our unwavering commitment to our mission and five everGREEN strategy pillars that will never change. This allows us to stay nimble while building a company and product that outlasts us. Read more about our company strategy here. ⬇️ #onlyatduolingo 

Betting on generative AI pays off. Using AI, we sped up our production pipeline by 10X for DuoRadio, an audio-based feature that improves listening comprehension. We went from 100K to 5.5M DAUs all while cutting costs by 99%. How? We automated script generation, exercise generation, and audio production while developing and implementing AI-driven evaluations to ensure a high quality bar. This resulted in scaling the feature from 300 to 15,000 episodes and expanding course coverage from 2 to 25+ courses in less than six months, which would have previously taken over 5 years!

At Duolingo, we are committed to thoughtful, long-term growth. 🔭 Over the years, we've taken the long view on hiring. Every current and open position is critical to the company, which means every Duo (employee) is able to make meaningful impact to the company. We've continued to grow our headcount judiciously, even pivoting our plans during the fluctuating economy. 🙏🏼 This strategy has allowed us remain stable over the years (including through the pandemic!) while continuing to be a profitable company.

Our current openings reflect this intentional and purposeful perspective (read: they are not ghost jobs 👻 ❌). We are currently looking to hire people to make meaningful contributions to our mission.

Being a working parent can be both hard and fun at the same time. 😅 And sometimes, you just need someone to share that with. At Duolingo, we’ve got a place for parents. We have a "fun-parents" Slack channel where we help each other stay sane, and laugh at the highs and lows of being a working parent together. Here are a few recent screenshots from the channel: - Trudging through the snow and subways to get your kids to school on time, just to have forgotten their gloves - The Daylight Savings struggle to get our kids up  - Your Google history being completely related to trucks, helicopters, airplanes, and Lightning McQueen Edward Fu shared, "I love the parents community here at Duolingo. The relatable parenting messages are the best. 😂 Being a dad is central to who I am, and it really is meaningful to work at a place where people feel comfortable sharing their everyday parenting highs and lows!"

Pittsburgh isn’t trying to be the next Silicon Valley. And that’s exactly why we love it. At Duolingo, we believe the next generation of great tech companies won’t be defined by flashy headlines or sky-high valuations. They'll be defined by impact, integrity, and building something meaningful, all without burning out. Pittsburgh gives us the space to do just that. And it’s not a backup city, it’s a blueprint. One where you can change the world and still make it home for dinner. We spoke with a few Duos who relocated to Pittsburgh and found more than just a job. Read their stories and see what it really means to build a meaningful career off the beaten path. #onlyatduolingo #pittsburgh

⚠️ WARNING: You might actually 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 your job at Duolingo. Here, you won’t be stuck waiting weeks for decisions or wading through layers of bureaucracy. Engineers ship code in days, not months. Designers own entire features end-to-end. No egos, no politics; just people who care about doing great work. You’ll have direct access to leadership. Even as we scale, it’s not unusual to grab a taco with our CEO Luis von Ahn at Duo’s Taqueria on Taco Wednesday. This isn’t performative collaboration. It’s cross-functional teams solving hard problems, fast, and having fun doing it. Sound like your kind of place? Check out our open roles: https://lnkd.in/eGVvh2di #onlyatduolingo #nowhiring
