Duolingo hits GDC again to recruit game devs to make gamified mobile apps


Duolingo is showing up once again to hire young game developers to help make its gamified mobile apps.

Bob Meese is chief business officer at Duolingo.Meese said this kind of recruiting has paid off for Duolingo over the years; in September, the company announced new features including Adventures mini-games and Video Call to help with language learning. Bonnie Ross, former head of 343 Industries and the Halo franchise at Microsoft, joined Duolingo as an independent board member in December, and she said she was impressed with the company’s ability to make learning entertaining. Meese said the company won’t have a dedicated booth, but someone will be wearing the Duo owl mascot suit at GDC and will be walking around the conference.
