AI Product Engineer, Math

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
