About the role
- 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.
- 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.
Responsibilities
- Own product architecture for longitudinal memory, personalization, sequencing, recommendations, feedback loops, and learner-state models.
- Create cross-team product clarity: principles, artifacts, product requirements, and decision frameworks that multiple pods can build against.
- Build the product architecture connecting assessment, content generation, voice practice, recommendations, and learner-facing next actions.
Skills
- Define the memory, learner-state model, and product interfaces that help multiple teams decide what a learner should do next.
Benefits
- Define interfaces between learning experiences, content systems, evals, AI platform, and learner-facing surfaces.
- Build product quality loops that improve learning outcomes, trust, and team velocity.
- Create the instrumentation and quality loops that tell us whether personalization is improving learning, not just engagement.
Company info
- 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.

- we're growing very quickly, we've most recently raised our Series C from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets.
- You'd join at a magical time when a single person could significantly change the course of the company.
- This starts as a hands-on Product Lead role with a clear Memory & Personal Intelligence home scope and broad company-level outcome ownership.
- We're looking for a Product Lead to build the memory and intelligence layer that helps Speak know what each learner should do next.
