Social Media Intern
Lingotune AI - the TikTok (ft. Duolingo) of language learning.
The Bottom Line Up Front
Join a VC-backed startup where ex-Googlers, Masterclass, and Coursera alumni are revolutionizing language learning through music. We need someone who can make our social media explode with creativity, humor, and cultural moments that connect millions of language learners worldwide. You'll own real projects, work directly with our Head of Growth and Social Media Manager, and have a measurable impact on our growth.
Who We Are
Lingotune transforms how people learn languages by combining the universal language of music with cutting-edge learning science. We're a team of language enthusiasts and music lovers who believe learning should be as addictive as scrolling through TikTok. Our app uses real music clips from artists worldwide to teach languages in context - think Duolingo meets Spotify, but cooler.
