    • Collaborate cross-functionally to bring your ideas to life in the product
    • Identify problems, prototype solutions, evaluate their return on investment, and then implement the best solution at scale to improve the lives of our millions of learners each day
    • Share your findings both within Duolingo as well as to the broader research community

    What we're looking for...

    • You have an Ph.D. in computer science or related technical field (or expect to by August 2024)
    • A portfolio of impactful work, in the form of (for example) publications, open-source projects, or AI internships
    • Ability to relocate to Pittsburgh, PA
    • A creative, interdisciplinary, and entrepreneurial approach to R&D
    • Strong debugging and critical thinking skills

    Why you'll love working here...

    • Language learning opportunities
    • Catered in-house lunches and dinner options
    • Company-wide Hackathon
    • PTO and company holidays
    • Frequent company-wide dinners, monthly celebrations, social clubs, and so much more
