Description
Are you a technical product leader with deep expertise who is driven to reshape education using AI? 2 Hour Learning seeks a technical architect to spearhead the transformation of our AI-driven learning platform. This position demands someone with the technical discipline to function as a CTO, the strategic insight to catalyze transformational progress, and the commitment to deploy those abilities toward unlocking student potential on an extraordinary scale.
Most organizations graft AI onto conventional educational frameworks as though it were an add-on. 2 Hour Learning has taken an entirely different path: we have reconstructed the school model from first principles, leveraging AI and learning science to eliminate the limitations inherent in traditional classrooms. Our students don't simply improve—they excel, earning numerous 4s and 5s on AP exams, demonstrating multiple years of academic progress within a single year, and routinely surpassing their own expectations. We have demonstrated that when AI serves as the foundational operating system for learning, student performance soars.
This is not a conventional product management position centered on user feedback cycles or gradual feature rollouts. This is a technical product ownership role at the executive tier, where you will control the architecture, technical roadmap, and AI integration across our complete learning ecosystem. You will be accountable for making difficult technical tradeoffs that keep our products lean, scalable, and unwaveringly centered on elevating student outcomes. You will think with the mindset of a CTO yet execute with the agility of a product entrepreneur, merging engineering rigor with learning science principles to continuously deliver breakthroughs.
If you are prepared to lead the technical transformation of education and possess the executional tenacity to support that vision, we invite you to apply. This is your chance to shape the future of learning.
What you will be doing
- Sustaining and showcasing comprehensive education product knowledge to inform strategic choices
- Producing technical specifications that resolve critical technical decisions while prioritizing simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability
- Deploying generative AI capabilities to automate and optimize engineering workflows, in alignment with the strategic goal of minimizing manual effort
What you will NOT be doing
- Purely managing people; your technical and business judgment will be central to this role
- Spending time in meetings, committees, or administrative overhead; we have automated management burdens so you can concentrate on delivering business value through direct contributions
- Producing high-level strategy without actionable implementation guidance; your recommendations must derive from product-level understanding
Key responsibilities
- Serve as the CTO for one or more education products, owning core technical competencies and generating business impact through flawless execution and strategic leadership
Candidate requirements
- 7+ years of experience making critical architecture and design decisions on software projects, including the application of architectural design patterns or major open source technologies
- 4+ years of experience in roles with complete technical and delivery ownership of a revenue-generating product
- Experience leveraging AI agents to design, implement, and test software products or features
