I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Duolingo (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jul 2024
Interview
Short interview with another curriculum designer followed by technical task. Task tested ways of breaking down language lessons in digestible chunks. Unfortunately, I did not move beyond this point in the interview process.
Phone screen, take-home task, then interview with hiring manager.
The hiring process felt one-sided. Both interviewers left less than 5 min for candidate questions. The take-home task was 3 separate tasks with multiple parts, and it was due before even meeting the hiring manager.
FYI, they're very rigid about the Pittsburgh onsite requirement.
