Open Roles
Our mission at Duolingo is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. We reach half a billion learners worldwide, and the Efficacy Research Lab exists to answer a fundamental question: Does that learning actually last?
We're seeking an exceptional research leader to guide the Efficacy Research Lab through its next chapter, expanding scope from Language into Math and future subjects. This is one of the most important research programs in consumer education, with scale, dataset, and real-world impact that few environments can match.
In this role, you will set the strategic vision for efficacy research at Duolingo, manage and develop a small team of researchers, and partner closely with senior leaders across the company. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll shape the agenda, lead high-impact work, and remain deeply involved in the science.
Your work will directly influence product decisions and educational outcomes for hundreds of millions of learners worldwide. You'll have the opportunity to publish research, present findings, and contribute to the broader educational research community while driving meaningful impact at scale.
This role is based in Pittsburgh, PA, at Duolingo headquarters, offering collaboration with world-class teams dedicated to transforming education globally.
