Job Description

About us Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language. Learning a language can change a life by opening doors to new cultures, careers, and communities. Two billion people around the world are actively trying to learn a language, but the best way to learn (one-on-one tutoring) is hard to access at scale and hasn’t been meaningfully improved in decades. Speak is building a human-level, AI-powered tutor in your pocket: a conversation-first experience that lets learners actually speak, get instant feedback, and progress through carefully designed lessons. The result is a complete path from beginner to confident speaker across multiple languages. Speak first launched in South Korea in 2019, where Speak has now become the number one language learning app, and we now serve learners across many markets and 15+ languages. Speak is one of the world’s leading AI companies, with over $150m raised in venture investment from OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and more, with a distributed team across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana. About the design team We’re a small and mighty team of six that sit at the intersection of craft, research, invention and product thinking. We build consumer and B2B experiences that live in 150+ markets and are used by millions. The design work is genuinely novel — inventing how someone talks to an AI tutor, what feedback feels like when you’re learning out loud, how a roleplay session should land emotionally, and how you measure a true proficiency score. Our work shapes the future of incredible learning experiences and we partner closely with Engineering, Learning Design, Product, and Analytics to do it. We stay close to our users to build empathy and to how our experiences actually feel to use by prototyping in AI, testing out conversation design and voice interaction, and being comfortable with ambiguity. Our team takes craft seriously and have a lot of fun doin
