About the role...

Come and be a product lead on an extraordinary Social Growth team with a world-changing mission. Duolingos core story for the last 13 years has been about consistent user growth and in the Growth Pillar youll be at the heart of it. Youll work on some of Duolingos most famous features helping build and invent products that drive retention and engagement: leaderboards friend streaks friend quests and gifting. Additionally youll develop new social features from the ground up helping to connect learners with friends and strangers alike.

Our teams in growth can run upwards of 100 experiments a quarter meaning that were learning what learners respond to at a breakneck pace not only helping improve the product literally every day but also giving PMs the opportunity to develop a much stronger sense of what works (and what doesnt). The core of the work in Social Growth at Duolingo is behavioral science - what helps people build a new habit to continue learning even when it gets hard and to build meaningful connections with both friends and strangers.

We look to PMs to drive the ideas and opportunities; rarely is our leadership team dictating features for teams to build and some of our most successful and iconic growth features have been initiatives started by junior and senior PMs alike. At Duolingo youll have the opportunity (and be expected) to chart new paths for growth within the product.

Critical to our growth is that at the core of Duolingo were not a game - we are a learning product. By helping grow and retain users through social features youre helping people all over the world learn a language or a skill gaining new opportunities in life. Improving the lives of millions of learners is a deeply held part of our mission and your work is critical to achieving that.

Join us at Duolingo and help shape the future of learning one learner at a time.
