→ Software Engineers, Product Managers (PMs), Product Designers
Slang started as an MIT research project on using AI and NLP to make learning a new language as efficient as possible, and has grown into an adaptive English-learning platform that offers an unprecedented variety of specialized English courses and proficiency tests in 50+ industries like Law, Oil & Gas, and Aviation. With just a small team, we’ve already created the largest professional-English offering in the world, and now we’re scaling up to release 1,000 more courses over the next three years.
Learners use our learning apps to submit millions of language activities per week, managers use our LMS to visualize the progress of their students or employees, and our Content team uses our internal tools to provide expert curation and refine the output of our models.
We just closed a round and are scaling up our 6-person Product team to grow those applications. We're looking for engineers, product managers, and product designers. Our backend combines a Ruby/Rails API with a data-intensive Java stack, and our frontends include a React/TypeScript/MobX web UI and Cordova-based hybrid mobile apps.
