We try to be language agnostic in our hiring process. We want to embrace the Product Engineering mindset more than having people experts in a specific programming language.

Our Product Engineering team is a talented group of approximately 30 individuals who collaborate within multidisciplinary teams composed of: Product Manager, Engineering Manager, Product Engineers, Product Designers, and Quality Assurance experts. Additionally, they also collaborate with User Research, Data Analysts, and Customer Support, who play a crucial role in supporting informed decision-making.

This group of people is divided into four distinct units, based on the stage of the user lifecycle, to optimize every stage of the acquisition-to-user engagement funnel.

• New User Monetization: this team focuses on building a positive experience for brand new users who are installing Lingokids for the first time to see the benefits of Lingokids Plus.
• Existing User Monetization: this team focuses on parents who are already using Lingokids, to see the added benefits of Plus and convert. They work on understanding the willingness to subscribe of our users and creating and surfacing the value of Plus.
• User Retention: they focus on evolving our freemium product to ensure we can continue to provide a delightful experience and engage our users with our content.
• Market Expansion: this team focuses on identifying and validating opportunities to grow the business understanding the needs of our audience.

The hallmark of our approach is a flexible, lightweight process that allows each team the autonomy to adapt it to their specific requirements. In broad terms, we strongly endorse the early involvement of cross-functional team members (or representatives from each discipline) to ensure that the discovery and delivery phases occur concurrently. Our guiding principles are deeply influenced by Agile methodologies.
