Shortlist by skills, not biasRole Description
Would you enjoy a leadership role where you build software first-hand, rather than just delegate work and allocate resources? If you are interested in opportunities that do not lock away 15 years of software development experience into management overhead, we have some exciting opportunities to offer.
Our partners specialize in building their products using cutting-edge cloud technologies. We believe in leading by doing, and we are looking for seasoned architects with hands-on leadership experience to solve our most challenging software engineering problems.
Forget about managing people or projects all day. This role is about creating software architecture specifications based on detailed product requirements. Our unique operating model with fast release cycles and automated management activities will enable you to live close to the codebase and make technical decisions every week, sharpening your technical skills by exposing to a wide range of software projects.
This role will give you full ownership of technical decisions for multiple products. Rather than debating endlessly with other teams to agree on an implementation plan, you will receive carefully architected product specifications and make the decisions to drive maximum business value using your development expertise. Enabled by a streamlined organizational structure and automated management activities, you will achieve 4x the pace of delivery while working 40h a week from your own home office.
If you are looking for your next challenge, we invite you to join a fast-paced organization responsible for multiple high-quality software releases per week.
What you will be doing
- Making technical decisions. You will lead the team in the right direction on the most complex challenges and newest technologies, making decisions that have a company-level impact.
- Improving the development operation. You will design systems to simplify the development process and guide engineers to consistently deliver with high quality.
- Getting hands-on with the product. By tackling architecture and coding challenges, you will draw technical insights on how to improve products and solve business issues.
What you will NOT be doing
- HR and administrative tasks. We want your technical expertise, and we will not waste your time doing performance reviews, committees, etc.
- Overseeing steady-state operations. Our culture is continuous improvement. If it’s bad, fix it. If it’s good, make it better.
- Wasting your time in meetings, committees, and administrative tasks. We have automated management overhead so you can focus on creating business value through hands-on work.
- High-level strategies without implementation guidelines. Your recommendations must be based on product-level insights.
Key Responsibilities
- Improve our products and development operations by making critical technical decisions. You will propose and implement ideas to simplify the code, improve quality, and scale our growing portfolio of software products.
Candidate Requirements
- At least 5 years of experience writing code
- 5+ years of leadership experience developing enterprise software products at scale.
- Experience managing teams from multiple engineering functions (developers, designers, product managers, testers, etc.)
- Ability to make important technical decisions
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes someone successful at this role?
Our engineering leaders are deeply technical developers who have the skill and drive to get to the root cause of problems. You will be successful in this role if you seek challenges and are excited by the idea of improving the systems that allow us to ship high-quality software releases for dozens of products each week.
How is this role different from most engineering management roles?
Unlike the middle-management responsibilities of the industry norm, this role will have you fully focused on the codebase, making architectural decisions and coding to drive improvements to the product. You will lead your team through technical expertise, not task allocation.
What is the most challenging aspect of this role?
Engineers at our partner organizations work with multiple unique enterprise software solutions. To scale effectively, our engineering managers need to be able to solve technical challenges for any of these products, which offers both a challenge and an opportunity to expand your technical expertise.
What does a typical week in this role look like?
Because we have automated away non-technical tasks like HR activities, resource allocation, and project management, managers focus on two high-impact activities: diving deep into the team's output to find the source of quality problems and eliminate them, and proposing and implementing ideas to systematically improve quality.
What you will learn
You will improve your capability to create high-quality architectural designs. You will hone your technical skills by working with over 100 software products and cutting-edge cloud technologies.
Work examples
We believe making good software architecture decisions is the equivalent of creating a stable foundation for a structure before building it. It’s critical to ensure quality and is hard to fix later.
How do you make solid software architecture decisions that support the product functionality requested by a Commercial Product Manager, and at the same time are straightforward for the feature team to implement?
The approach starts with understanding the technologies and requirements requested by the Product Manager. The software architecture design then captures the most important technical decisions (ITDs) for Domain Model, Use Cases, C4 System and Container Diagrams. A high quality architecture design ensures that the scope is complete and the design is implementable.

SVP of Technical Product Management
SVP of Technical Product Management @ 2 Hour Learning
Key responsibilities
- Act as the CTO of one or more education products, owning core competencies and driving business value through seamless execution and strategic decision-making
Description
Are you a deeply technical product leader who wants to be at the forefront of reinventing education through AI? 2 Hour Learning is looking for a technical architect to lead the modernization of our AI-powered learning ecosystem. This is a role for someone who has the technical rigor to act as a CTO, the product vision to drive transformational change, and the passion to apply those skills to unleash student potential at unprecedented scale.
Most companies bolt AI onto traditional education models like an afterthought. At 2 Hour Learning, we’ve done something entirely different: we’ve rebuilt the school model from the ground up, using AI and learning science to completely shatter the constraints of the traditional classroom. Our students don't just improve — they dominate, achieving multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams, showing multi-year academic growth in a single year, and consistently outperforming their own expectations. We've proven that when AI is used as the core operating system of learning, student achievement explodes.
This is not a traditional product management role focused on customer feedback loops or incremental feature delivery. This is a technical product ownership role at the executive level, where you will own the architecture, technical strategy, and AI integration of our entire learning system. You’ll be responsible for making the hard technical tradeoffs that ensure our products are lean, scalable, and ruthlessly focused on improving student outcomes. You will think like a CTO but move like a product entrepreneur, blending engineering excellence with learning science insights to continuously drive breakthroughs.
If you are ready to lead the technical reinvention of education itself and you have the executional grit to match that ambition, we encourage you to apply. This is your opportunity to define the future of learning.
Candidate requirements
- Deep experience or interest in data-driven learning science
- 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 building product features that make advanced use of Generative AI
- Experience using Generative AI to simplify work processes
