Director of Product Architecture, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

This position is for a deeply technical product leader prepared to drive the reinvention of education through artificial intelligence. 2 Hour Learning seeks a technical architect to oversee the modernization of our AI-driven learning ecosystem. The ideal candidate possesses the technical depth to function as a chief technology officer, the strategic product vision to catalyze transformational change, and the commitment to deploy these capabilities to unlock student potential at scale.

Overview

While most organizations add AI to conventional education frameworks as a secondary consideration, 2 Hour Learning has taken a fundamentally different approach: we have reconstructed the school model entirely, leveraging AI and learning science to eliminate the limitations of the traditional classroom. Our students don\'t merely improve—they excel, earning multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams, demonstrating multi-year academic advancement in a single year, and routinely surpassing their own expectations. We have demonstrated that when AI serves as the foundational operating system of learning, student achievement reaches extraordinary levels.

This is not a conventional product management position centered on customer feedback cycles or incremental feature releases. This is an executive-level technical product ownership role, where you will own the architecture, technical strategy, and AI integration across our entire learning platform. You will make the difficult technical tradeoffs required to keep our products lean, scalable, and relentlessly focused on enhancing student outcomes. You will think with the strategic depth of a CTO while executing with the agility of a product entrepreneur, combining engineering rigor with learning science principles to deliver continuous breakthroughs.

If you are prepared to lead the technical transformation of education and possess the executional discipline to match that vision, we invite you to apply. This is your chance to shape the future of learning.

What You Will Be Doing

• Building and demonstrating comprehensive education product expertise to inform strategic decisions
• Creating technical specifications that embody critical technical decisions and emphasize simplicity, efficiency, and long-term sustainability
• Deploying generative AI technologies to automate and optimize engineering workflows, consistent with the strategic objective of minimizing manual effort

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Focusing exclusively on people management; your technical and business judgment will be central to this role
• Spending time on meetings, committees, and administrative overhead; we have automated management tasks so you can concentrate on delivering business value through direct work
• Proposing high-level strategies without actionable implementation guidance; your recommendations must be grounded in product-level understanding

Director Of Product Architecture – Key Responsibilities
