About the role

We’re hiring a Content Marketing Lead to scale the engine that drives millions of users to Pingo. You’ll own our creator ecosystem end-to-end and build the most effective UGC growth machine in consumer tech.

Why Pingo?

Pingo helps 2,000,000+ users learn languages through real conversations with an AI companion. We’ve grown to $6M ARR in under a year, becoming one of YC’s fastest-growing consumer startups ever, and raised $6M from top investors. We believe the future of language learning will feel like talking to a companion who knows you — not using an app.

What You’ll Do

In one sentence: Build and scale the UGC engine that makes Pingo one of the most viral consumer AI products on the internet — everything you build directly impacts our growth trajectory.

  • Design and test 5-10 formats weekly, scaling across creators; analyze performance and iterate at high velocity.
  • Make product-first virality that converts: validate formats, amplify winners, drop losers.
  • Manage and grow Pingo’s brand account; evolve tone and creative direction
  • Scale our 150+ creator and 850M+ view program to 1,000 creators and 500M monthly views.
  • Run creator communications + Discord; coach creators on quality and Pingo integration.
  • Oversee payments, onboarding, virtual assistants, and logistics; build systems to optimize creator output at scale.

What We’re Looking For

  • You’ve made a brand go viral or have gone viral yourself.
  • Strong intuition for why content hits + culture.
  • Fast executor with extreme ownership.
  • Highly organized across many moving parts and strong communication.
  • Experience growing something from 0 to 1.

About the Job

  • In-person in SF with the founders
  • $130K–$180K salary + 0.3–0.8% equity
  • Healthcare + Meals + Equinox membership + 401k benefits
  • No visa sponsorship

About Pingo AI

Pingo AI is building the future of language learning and AI companions.

We help 750,000+ users build fluency through real conversations with an AI companion that knows their progress, adapts to their goals, and makes learning feel natural. Since launching in 2025, we’ve scaled to multi-million ARR and become one of Y Combinator’s fastest-growing consumer AI startups, backed by top-tier investors.

We believe the future of learning won’t feel like an app or a one-off tutor session—it will be an AI you build a relationship with. Our mission is to make Pingo the default way to learn a language worldwide.
