Elite Technical Visionaries Only : Architect the AI-Powered Future of Education

Are you a deeply technical product leader who wants to be at the forefront of reinventing education through AI? 2 Hour Learning is looking for a technical architect to lead the modernization of our AI-powered learning ecosystem. This is a role for someone who has the technical rigor to act as a CTO, the product vision to drive transformational change, and the passion to apply those skills to unleash student potential at unprecedented scale.

Most companies bolt AI onto traditional education models like an afterthought. At 2 Hour Learning, we've done something entirely different : we've rebuilt the school model from the ground up, using AI and learning science to completely shatter the constraints of the traditional classroom. Our students don't just improve — they dominate, achieving multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams, showing multi-year academic growth in a single year, and consistently outperforming their own expectations. We've proven that when AI is used as the core operating system of learning, student achievement explodes.

This is not a traditional product management role focused on customer feedback loops or incremental feature delivery. This is a technical product ownership role at the executive level, where you will own the architecture, technical strategy, and AI integration of our entire learning system. You'll be responsible for making the hard technical tradeoffs that ensure our products are lean, scalable, and ruthlessly focused on improving student outcomes. You will think like a CTO but move like a product entrepreneur, blending engineering excellence with learning science insights to continuously drive breakthroughs.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Architect and drive the technical vision for our AI-powered learning ecosystem, making critical decisions that balance innovation with scalability.
  • Develop precise technical specifications that prioritize simplicity, efficiency, and long-term viability while maintaining alignment with learning science principles.
  • Implement cutting-edge generative AI technologies to automate engineering processes and elevate learning outcomes.
  • Translate complex educational challenges into elegant technical solutions that deliver measurable student achievement gains.
  • Drive executive-level technical strategy while maintaining hands‑on involvement in critical implementation decisions.

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Pure people management or bureaucratic oversight; your value comes from technical and product leadership.
  • Wasting time in unnecessary meetings or administrative tasks; we've eliminated management overhead so you can focus on high-impact work.
  • Creating theoretical strategies without implementation pathways; your recommendations must be grounded in practical, executable solutions.
  • Building incremental features that don't fundamentally transform the learning experience.
  • Conforming to traditional EdTech approaches that treat AI as a supplementary tool rather than the core operating system.

    • Principal Product Architect Key Responsibilities

    Act as the CTO of one or more education products, owning core competencies and driving business value through seamless execution and strategic decision-making that measurably accelerates student achievement.

    Basic Requirements

  • Deep experience and demonstrated passion for data-driven learning science.
  • 7+ years of experience making critical architecture and design decisions on enterprise software projects, including the application of advanced architecture patterns.
  • 2+ years of experience architecting solutions using cloud computing services (primarily AWS).
  • 4+ years in positions with full technical and delivery ownership on revenue-generating products.
  • Proven experience building product features that leverage Generative AI beyond basic implementations.
  • Demonstrated success using Generative AI to transform and simplify complex work processes.
