If you are a technically rigorous product leader drawn to the challenge of rebuilding education through AI, 2 Hour Learning seeks an engineering-focused architect to drive the evolution of our AI-powered learning platform. This position demands the technical depth of a CTO, the strategic vision to lead transformational initiatives, and the commitment to apply both toward unlocking student potential at scale.While most organizations append AI capabilities to conventional educational frameworks as an add-on, 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 do not simply improve—they excel, earning multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams, demonstrating multi-year academic acceleration within a single year, and routinely surpassing their own benchmarks. We have validated that when AI functions as the foundational operating system of education, student performance reaches transformative levels.This is not a conventional product management position centered on user feedback cycles or iterative feature releases. This is an executive-level technical product ownership role in which you will control the architecture, technical roadmap, and AI integration across our complete learning infrastructure. You will be accountable for the critical technical tradeoffs that keep our products streamlined, scalable, and unwaveringly oriented toward advancing student outcomes. You will operate with the mindset of a CTO while maintaining the velocity of a product entrepreneur, synthesizing engineering discipline with learning science principles to deliver continuous innovation.If you are prepared to spearhead the technical transformation of education and possess the execution discipline to realize that vision, we invite your application. This is your chance to architect the future of learning.
