Lead Product Architect   $400,000 USD/year

Description

Are you a technical product leader with the depth to reimagine education through AI? 2 Hour Learning seeks an architect to spearhead the evolution of our AI-driven learning platform. This position demands the technical precision of a CTO, the strategic vision to catalyze transformational impact, and the commitment to unlock student achievement at scale.

Most organizations append AI to conventional education frameworks as a supplement. At 2 Hour Learning, we have taken a fundamentally different approach: we have reconstructed the school model from first principles, leveraging AI and learning science to eliminate the limitations of the traditional classroom. Our students don't merely advance — they excel, earning multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams, demonstrating multi-year academic gains within a single year, and regularly surpassing their own benchmarks. We have validated that when AI serves as the foundational operating system for learning, student performance accelerates dramatically.

This is not a conventional product management position centered on customer feedback cycles or gradual feature releases. This is an executive-level technical product ownership role, where you will define the architecture, technical direction, and AI strategy of our complete learning infrastructure. You will be accountable for the critical technical trade-offs that keep our products lean, scalable, and uncompromisingly focused on elevating student results. You will think with the rigor of a CTO but execute with the agility of a product entrepreneur, fusing engineering discipline with learning science to drive continuous innovation.

If you are prepared to lead the technical transformation of education and possess the executional discipline to realize that vision, we invite your application. This is your chance to shape the future of learning.

What you will be doing

  • Cultivating and applying comprehensive education product expertise to inform strategic decisions
  • Authoring technical specifications that resolve critical technical decisions and emphasize simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability
  • Deploying generative AI capabilities to automate and optimize engineering workflows, consistent with the strategic objective of minimizing manual effort

What you will NOT be doing

  • Pure people management; your technical and business judgment will be the primary drivers in this role
  • Spending your time in meetings, committees, and administrative overhead; we have automated management tasks so you can concentrate on delivering business value through direct execution
  • High-level strategies lacking implementation detail; your guidance must be grounded in product-level understanding

Key responsibilities

  • Serve as the CTO of one or more education products, owning critical capabilities and generating business value through flawless execution and strategic leadership

Candidate requirements

  • 7+ years of experience making the important architecture and design decisions on software projects, such as the application of architecture design patterns or significant open source technologies
  • 2+ years of experience making design decisions involving the use of cloud computing services (primarily AWS)
  • 4+ years of experience in positions with full technical and delivery ownership on a revenue-generating product
  • Experience using AI agents to design, implement, and test software products or features
