Duolingo is seeking a Staff Product Designer for Monetization to help define how users experience value across subscriptions, ads, and in-app purchases. This role reports to the Director of Product Design and serves as a key creative partner in monetization vectors—from purchase flows to seasonal avatar events. You will define and evolve both free and paid user experiences across monetization surfaces within the Duolingo language app. You'll play a leadership role on the monetization design team, shaping the product roadmap and development strategy. Working collaboratively with engineers, product managers, designers, and artists, you'll partner to define both long-term strategy and short-term tactics. You'll contribute to expanding the Duolingo design language and consider all aspects of the experience—from copy and animation to business impact. The role involves working on both broadly defined, loose concepts and narrowly defined, tactical features. You'll explain your work, process, and decisions, seeking feedback to produce your best work. Required qualifications include an online portfolio with consumer mobile app or web design samples, design experience in a consumer application/product/software role, a desire for excellence in detail work, and the ability to articulate your design process and accept feedback. Outstanding candidates will have experience designing for fast-paced monetization, growth, or subscription-based products; experience with strong experimentation cultures and iterative improvements; and an interest in developing design talent and improving design craft. Portfolio submission is mandatory for consideration.
