Senior Content Designer

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!

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!

Craft experiences that excite our learners to work toward their goals every day.

With over 80 million monthly learners, Duolingo is the world’s most popular education app — but how can we make sure they stay committed to learning every day? Enter content design!

As a senior-level content designer within Duolingo's Growth area, you’ll drive the messaging, content strategy, and naming for experiences that keep our learners coming back. From collaborating on features like Daily Quests to writing our (in)famous practice reminders, you’ll craft some of Duolingo’s most beloved user experiences.

You’ll work with autonomy and focus on a few projects at a time and drive their content strategy forward. If you like running experiments and sharing insights so your wins can have a greater impact, this is a good role for you. No “sprinkling copy magic” here.

Do you like games? Us too! You’ll be encouraged to take inspiration from mobile games, experimenting with new ways to hold our learners’ interest like the best games do.
