Our mission is to empower children with modern learning experiences, combining educational subjects with essential life skills to help them grow into confident, conscious, and resilient lifelong learners.
Beyond our award-winning app, we’ve built a multi-platform educational universe, including our “Baby Bot” and “Baby Bot’s Backyard Tales” shows, Podcasts, and Music Publishing. Our content, developed in collaboration with top education experts and Oxford Press University, ensures an engaging, high-quality learning experience in a safe, ad-free environment. This dedication to excellence has earned Lingokids multiple industry awards across app, podcast, and video categories, including Best Original Learning App by Kidscreen Awards, National Parenting Product Awards by NAPPA Awards, and Best Parenting Product by Good Housekeeping, among many others!
As a Junior Product Engineer, you will join our Core Experience team and help build the features that millions of families use every day. We focus on helping Plus (paying) families get more value from Lingokids and stay with us over time. Our work is the heart of the app: content pages and feeds, rewards, favorites, Theater, Family Time and the navigation that ties it all together.
You will ship real code to real families from your very first month, and never on your own. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and designers as part of our Product Engineering organization, around 30 people across multidisciplinary squads. We pair, we review and we mentor each other. We also build for an audience that treats broccoli as a final boss and bedtime ️ as a negotiation, so yes, we take fun pretty seriously too. This role is a great fit if you are early in your career, have solid fundamentals, like finishing what you start and want to grow fast with people who have your back.
You build and improve well-scoped features in the Lingokids app, working in React Native and TypeScript across iOS and Android.
You write clean, readable code and make it even better through code review with your teammates, both giving and receiving feedback as a way to grow.
You ask for help whenever you need it. Questions, learning out loud and the occasional stuck moment are all part of growing here.
Treat design, product and quality as everyone's job, including yours, working closely with the whole team to make the experience smooth for kids and parents.
Lean on AI the way we all do, to learn faster and skip the tedious parts, with your judgment always in the driver's seat.
You won't be expected to know everything on day one. Nobody does, and that is completely fine. Ask for help whenever you need it; questions, learning out loud and the occasional stuck moment are all part of growing here. What matters most is that you stay curious, take ownership of your work and grow a little every week. We will be right there with you.
We think you'll do great if you have
Hands-on experience building software with other people, whether through professional work, studies, a bootcamp, internships or personal projects.
Solid programming fundamentals: clear code, the ability to read and understand others' code, and the basics of testing and version control (Git).
Foundational knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and a genuine eagerness to learn React Native and mobile development.
A growth mindset: you enjoy learning, you ask questions and you take feedback as a gift.
Care for the people who use what you build. We make products for children and families, so a little empathy goes a long way.
Clear communication: you can express your ideas and ask for help in a way that's easy to follow.
Nice to have, but truly fine if not
Any mobile experience (React Native, native iOS or Android).
Any experience with React.
Any experience with feature flags, analytics or A/B testing.
Understanding of how apps communicate with APIs.
Please do not rule yourself out if you are missing a few of these. We can teach React Native and our stack. We mostly care about strong fundamentals and a real desire to learn.
English is a must: We’re a multicultural team providing a service in English, so while certifications aren’t necessary, fluency is essential. As a fully remote company, clear and effective spoken and written communication—especially in asynchronous, long-form formats—is key to collaborating successfully.
Career Growth: Your growth drives our success! We invest in your development up to €2,000 per year for books and training; so you can keep learning and growing with us.
Remote in Spain & Relocation-Friendly Work from wherever you’re most productive, whether that’s your home anywhere in Spain or our vibrant hub in Madrid. Not currently in Spain? We’d love to have you here! We actively encourage relocation for those looking to make Spain their new home base.
Stock Options: Your contribution matters! You'll receive stock options, giving you the opportunity to own part of the company and share in its success.
Home Office Setup: Create your ideal workspace with a €400 allowance for setup and €35/month for remote work expenses, because comfort fuels creativity!
Meal Allowances: Get €60/month on your Cobee card to enjoy meals at restaurants or food delivery, good food makes everything better!
Flexible Compensation: Manage your meal, transport and childcare expenses easily with Cobee, integrating them directly into your payroll.
Health Insurance: Access private health coverage at exclusive rates through Adeslas, seamlessly deducted from your payroll, quality care made simple.
Language Lessons: Learning never stops! Enjoy free language classes in Spanish and English, to sharpen your skills and stay connected in a global team.
Visa Sponsorship: If you need a visa to work in the EU, we’ll handle the process and cover the costs to make your transition seamless.
Company events: Yes! We’re a fully remote team spread across different countries, but we love getting together from time to time in different corners of Spain, for team gatherings and recharging at our amazing off-sites!
Didn’t check every box for this role? No worries! We’re looking for passionate, driven individuals who believe in our mission. If that sounds like you, we’d still love to hear from you!
At Lingokids, diversity isn’t just a checkbox—it’s at the heart of everything we do. Just like we teach kids to embrace differences, we celebrate them in our team, knowing that the best ideas come from unique perspectives. We’re all about creating a space where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to be their authentic selves. No matter your background, identity, or story, if you’re passionate about making a difference in education, we want you here.
