Our mission at Duolingo is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. It’s a big mission, and that’s where you come in!

At Duolingo, you’ll join a team that cares about finding innovative solutions to complex technical problems, running countless experiments (300+ at a time!) with our massive user base to make data-driven decisions, and educating our users and employees alike. You’ll have limitless learning opportunities, mentorship and collaboration with world-class minds, and a variety of projects with large scopes — while doing work that’s both fun and meaningful. 

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

About the role
In this role, you'll work closely with Duolingo’s Math team to deeply integrate AI into the math curriculum — reimagining how learners interact with concepts like arithmetic, algebra, and word problems. You’ll have the opportunity to design and ship AI-powered experiences that make math more intuitive, engaging, and personalized. Reporting to the engineering lead (with potential for evolving reporting lines), you’ll join a small, high-leverage group helping define how AI enhances learning at Duolingo.
 
We're particularly interested if you've previously built production-level apps, enhancing them with advanced AI techniques, and if you're skilled in comprehensive system evaluations—using both automated tools and human feedback to ensure top-notch performance.
 
  You will...
  • Revamp the math session generator and integrate AI into the math curriculum to foster enhanced learning experiences.
  • Develop and implement cutting-edge AI features into production-level applications.
  • Conduct thorough system evaluations, leveraging both automated tools and human feedback, to guarantee superior product quality and performance.
  • Optimize AI algorithms to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness
  • Implement feature engineering to refine algorithm predictions and drive improved performance.

  You have...
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or related field
  • Experience building production-grade apps with LLMs
  • Portfolio of projects demonstrating integration of AI into learning tools or platforms

What We Do

Duolingo is a language-learning education platform that offers 98 total courses across nearly 40 distinct languages.

Duolingo is the world’s most popular way to learn a language. Our mission is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. Some of our products include:

1. Duolingo: The free, fun, and effective way to learn a language!
2. DET (Duolingo English Test): A modern language proficiency tool designed for today's international students and institutions. It offers an English proficiency score, video interview, and writing sample in an accessible, efficient, and secure testing experience.
3. Duolingo Math: An app that can make math be fun. For everyone. Students can focus on elementary math, which covers classroom topics, or adults can focus on brain training, which strengthens mental math skills and covers more advanced topics.
4. Duolingo ABC: An educational learning app that offers immersive lessons to teach preschool to second grade kids reading fundamentals.

Founded in 2011 by Luis von Ahn and Severin Hacker, Duolingo is the most downloaded education app in the history of the App Store and in 2019 became the top-grossing education app worldwide. The app has been awarded Apple's iPhone App of the Year and Android's Best of the Best.

Learning a new language used to be expensive; we believe it should be free. Over 1.2 billion people are learning a second language and most of them are learning English to improve their lives.

Learning a new language is hard; we believe it can be fun. We use bite-sized lessons that feel like playing a game to keep our learners motivated.

With over 500 million learners we have unprecedented data insights on how people learn. Our teams of language learning scientists, machine learning engineers, and AI experts use this data to constantly improve our effectiveness. We’re building a future in which the highest-quality education is accessible to all.
