Summary
Language app developer Duolingo is heading to the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco to hire young game developers to help make its gamified mobile apps.
The company is looking to fill a number of openings, including a vice president of growth and product marketing role.
Game industry veteran Bonnie Ross, formerly head of 343 Industries and the Halo franchise at Microsoft, joined Duolingo last year as an independent board member and was impressed with the company’s ability to make learning entertaining.
Duolingo regularly adds new features to its app, with recent additions including mini-games and “Friend Streaks” to help foster a sense of competition among users.
The company hopes to attract marketers with a more technical or analytical background who have experience at leading mobile games companies.
