This position demands the technical depth to function as a CTO, the product clarity to lead transformational initiatives, and the commitment to channel those capabilities toward unlocking student achievement at scale. Most organizations add AI to conventional education frameworks as a surface enhancement. At 2 Hour Learning, we have taken a fundamentally different approach: we have reconstructed the school model from its foundation, leveraging AI and learning science to eliminate the limitations of the traditional classroom entirely. Our students don't simply progress — they excel, earning multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams, demonstrating multi-year academic gains in a single year, and regularly surpassing their own performance expectations. We have established that when AI serves as the foundational operating system of learning, student outcomes surge. This is not a conventional product management position centered on feedback cycles or incremental feature releases. This is an executive-level technical product ownership role, where you will control the architecture, technical direction, and AI integration of our complete learning ecosystem. You'll make the difficult technical trade-offs necessary to keep our products efficient, scalable, and laser-focused on advancing student results. You will operate with the mindset of a CTO while maintaining the velocity of a product entrepreneur, fusing engineering discipline with learning science principles to continuously unlock breakthroughs. If you are prepared to lead the technical transformation of education and possess the operational discipline to realize that vision, we invite you to apply. This is your chance to shape the future of learning.
