Description
Are you a technically accomplished product leader eager to help reshape education through artificial intelligence? 2 Hour Learning seeks a technical architect to spearhead the evolution of our AI-driven learning platform. This position demands someone with the technical depth to function as a Chief Technology Officer, the product insight to catalyze transformational progress, and the commitment to deploy these capabilities toward unlocking student achievement at scale.
Many organizations treat AI as an add-on to conventional educational frameworks. 2 Hour Learning has pursued a fundamentally different approach: we have reconstructed the school experience from first principles, leveraging AI and learning science to eliminate the limitations inherent in traditional classrooms. Our students do not merely progress — they excel, earning multiple 4s and 5s on Advanced Placement examinations, demonstrating multi-year academic advancement within single years, and regularly surpassing their own projected performance. We have demonstrated that positioning AI as the foundational operating system for learning results in extraordinary student success.
This is not a conventional product management position centered on user feedback cycles or gradual feature rollouts. This is an executive-level technical product ownership role in which you will control the architecture, technical direction, and AI integration across our complete learning system. You will make the difficult technical trade-offs required to keep our products lean, scalable, and uncompromisingly oriented toward student outcome improvement. You will operate with the mindset of a CTO while maintaining the velocity of a product entrepreneur, combining engineering discipline with learning science principles to generate continuous innovation.
If you are prepared to lead the technical transformation of education and possess the operational discipline to realize that vision, we invite your application. This represents your chance to shape the future of learning.
What you will be doing
- Building and applying comprehensive education product knowledge to inform strategic choices
- Creating technical specifications that drive critical technical decisions while prioritizing simplicity, operational efficiency, and sustainable architecture
- Deploying generative AI capabilities to automate and optimize engineering workflows, consistent with the organizational goal of minimizing manual effort
What you will NOT be doing
- Purely managing people; this role centers on your technical and business judgment
- Spending time on meetings, committees, and administrative overhead; we have streamlined management processes to let you concentrate on generating business impact through direct contribution
- Proposing high-level strategies divorced from execution details; your guidance must emerge from product-level understanding
Key responsibilities
- Serve as the Chief Technology Officer for one or more education products, controlling essential capabilities and creating 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 architecture design patterns or major open source technologies
- 4+ years of experience in roles with complete technical and delivery accountability for a revenue-generating product
- Experience leveraging AI agents to design, implement, and test software products or features
