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!
Duolingo’s designers care about creating high-quality experiences that look and feel fun (https://www.instagram.com/duolingodesign/?utm_source=greenhouse.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=designig_gh_091224) . From animators to writers, product designers to researchers, Design brings purpose, feeling, and delight to every interaction with our brand, inside the app and out. As a designer, you’ll join a culture of creativity and craft, where we have a high bar for excellence and an endless curiosity about how to bring more unexpected quirk and fun to the pursuit of learning.
