Lead Product Architect   $400,000 USD/year

Description

Are you a technical product leader with the depth to operate at the CTO level and the vision to drive transformational change in education? 2 Hour Learning seeks an architect to lead the technical evolution of our AI-driven learning platform. This role demands someone who combines engineering rigor with product insight and applies both to unlock student potential at scale.

While most organizations treat AI as an add-on to conventional education frameworks, 2 Hour Learning has taken 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 don't simply progress — they excel, earning multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams, demonstrating multi-year academic advancement within a single year, and routinely surpassing their own projected outcomes. We have demonstrated that when AI serves as the foundational operating system for learning, student performance scales exponentially.

This is not a conventional product management position centered on feature iteration or user feedback cycles. This is an executive-level technical ownership role where you will define the architecture, technical direction, and AI strategy for our complete learning ecosystem. You'll make critical technical tradeoffs that keep our products lean, scalable, and laser-focused on driving measurable student gains. You will possess the mindset of a CTO while maintaining the velocity of a product entrepreneur, fusing engineering discipline with learning science to deliver continuous innovation.

If you're prepared to lead the technical transformation of education and have the execution capability to deliver on that vision, we invite your application. This is your chance to architect the future of learning.

What you will be doing

  • Building and applying deep expertise in education products to inform strategic direction
  • Creating technical specifications that resolve critical technical decisions while prioritizing simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability
  • Deploying generative AI capabilities to automate and optimize engineering workflows, consistent with our strategic commitment to minimizing manual effort

What you will NOT be doing

  • Pure people management; this role prioritizes your business insight and technical depth
  • Spending time in meetings, committees, and administrative overhead; we have automated management layers to keep you focused on delivering tangible business value through hands-on execution
  • High-level recommendations without actionable implementation paths; your guidance must be grounded in product-level understanding

Key responsibilities

  • Serve as the CTO for one or more education products, owning technical foundations and generating business impact 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
  • 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
