About the role
About us
Our mission is to reinvent the way people learn, starting with language.
Learning a language can change a life by opening doors to new cultures, careers, and communities. Two billion people around the world are actively trying to learn a language, but the best way to learn (one-on-one tutoring) is hard to access at scale and hasn’t been meaningfully improved in decades. Speak is building a human-level, AI-powered tutor in your pocket: a conversation-first experience that lets learners actually speak, get instant feedback, and progress through carefully designed lessons. The result is a complete path from beginner to confident speaker across multiple languages.
Speak first launched in South Korea in 2019, where Speak has now become the number one language learning app, and we now serve learners across many markets and 15+ languages. Speak is one of the world’s leading AI companies, with over $150m raised in venture investment from OpenAI, Accel, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and more, with a distributed team across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
About this role
We're looking for a Product Lead to build the memory and intelligence layer that helps Speak know what each learner should do next.
Speak's next step is not more disconnected lessons. It is a learning system with durable memory and personal intelligence: it knows what each learner should do next and makes that intelligence usable across lessons, voice, assessment, content, and reporting. This person will create the product and platform layer that lets Speak deliver the right learning experience at the right time across user memory, tutors, lessons, content, recommendations, assessments, evals, and AI systems.
This starts as a hands-on Product Lead role with a clear Memory & Personal Intelligence home scope and broad company-level outcome ownership. As the area grows, management scope may become part of the path, but the first-order need is someone who can personally set product direction, integrate teams, and raise execution quality.
