We were awarded “Best App of 2017” at Google I/O and featured prominently this year at Apple’s WWDC. We work closely with both Google and Apple and are one of the top go-to developer partners when they launch new features on iOS and Android.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to join us for 3-6 months, leading the creation of new in-app learning experiences and optimization of existing ones that help people learn the language’s core basics as fast as possible. This is a great opportunity to work with a talented team who are passionately committed to pushing the boundaries of what a language learning app can do.
