We are seeking a deeply technical product leader to spearhead the modernization of our AI-powered learning ecosystem at 2 Hour Learning. This position requires someone with the technical depth to operate at a CTO level, the strategic vision to drive transformational product evolution, and the commitment to apply these capabilities toward unlocking student potential at scale previously unimaginable.
While most organizations treat AI as an add-on to conventional educational frameworks, 2 Hour Learning has taken a fundamentally different approach: we have reconstructed the entire school model, leveraging AI and learning science to eliminate the limitations inherent in traditional classrooms. The results speak for themselves—our students achieve multiple 4s and 5s on AP examinations, demonstrate multi-year academic advancement within single academic years, and routinely exceed their own performance expectations. When AI serves as the foundational operating system for learning, student achievement reaches extraordinary levels.
This position differs significantly from traditional product management roles centered on customer feedback cycles or iterative feature releases. Instead, this is an executive-level technical product ownership role where you will control the architecture, technical roadmap, and AI integration across our complete learning platform. Your responsibility includes making critical technical tradeoffs that keep our products streamlined, scalable, and laser-focused on student outcome improvement. You will combine the strategic thinking of a CTO with the execution velocity of a product entrepreneur, merging 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 determination 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 expertise to inform strategic direction
Creating technical specifications that drive critical technical decisions while prioritizing simplicity, operational efficiency, and sustainable long-term design
Deploying generative AI capabilities to automate and optimize engineering workflows, supporting the organizational objective of minimizing manual intervention
What You Won’t Be Doing
Serving purely as a people manager; this role demands substantial business insight and technical judgment
Spending time on meetings, committee work, and administrative overhead; we have streamlined management processes to enable your focus on hands-on value creation
Proposing high-level strategies disconnected from execution; your guidance must derive from product-level understanding
