Careers at Pollyfriends
Build the new way the world learns languages
We are a remote team spread across the globe, creating thousands of AI friends that get people actually speaking. If you want hard problems, real impact and great people beside you, you belong here.
8 open roles, all remote
Our mission
Nobody should study for years and then freeze in the first conversation
Before Pollyfriends, our team had already taught languages to more than 89,000 learners in more than 123 countries. Almost all of them hit the same wall: years of study and no real conversation.
People who move abroad learn by talking to the neighbor, the barista, the coworker. Nobody teaches a class: life does. So we built that life, with 3,628 AI friends in 75 cities, each with a routine, a family and a way of speaking.
Now we want to bring it to millions of people. To get there, we need people who care about learners as much as we do.
Culture
A small team that feels like a crew
Everyone works from wherever they do their best work, but we play as one team: we decide fast, celebrate together and test everything in our own app before any learner sees it.
How we work
Six principles worth more than any job title
Learners first
Every decision starts with the same question: does this make someone talk more, and better?
Fast and real
We ship, measure and improve every week. Real beats perfect on paper.
Own the problem
Nobody here waits for orders. You spot the problem, propose the path and see it through.
Clear writing
On a team across many time zones, good writers do good work: decisions on record and meetings only when they are worth it.
Human care
Characters that feel like people call for the care people deserve: safety, privacy and respect in every detail.
From everywhere
Different cultures and accents in the same conversation, like the friends we create.
