Duolingo is seeking a Staff Product Designer to lead monetization design across the world's most popular learning app. Reporting to the Director of Product Design on Monetization, you'll define how users experience value through subscriptions, ads, and in-app purchases—from initial touchpoints to long-term loyalty. In this role, you'll be an instrumental creative partner shaping key monetization vectors including purchase flows, seasonal avatar events, and subscription experiences. You'll define and evolve both free and paid user experiences across monetization surfaces within the Duolingo language app, playing a leadership role in shaping the design team's product roadmap and development strategy. Key responsibilities include partnering with engineers and product managers to define long-term strategy and short-term tactics, collaborating with designers and artists to expand the Duolingo design language, and considering all aspects of the user experience—from copy and animation to business impact. You'll work on both broadly-defined strategic concepts and narrowly-scoped tactical features. Required qualifications: strong online portfolio with consumer mobile app or web design samples, proven design experience in consumer applications or software roles, attention to detail, and ability to articulate your work, process, and decisions while seeking feedback. Outstanding candidates will have experience designing for fast-paced monetization, growth, or subscription-based products; familiarity with experimentation-driven cultures and iterative improvement; and interest in developing design talent and improving craft. Portfolio submission is mandatory for consideration.
