Job description

Vice President of Product Engineering, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000 / year USD

Company : Crossover Location : Remote (New Zealand) Compensation : $200 USD / hour (equivalent to $400,000 USD / year) Employment Type : Full‑time (40 hours per week) contractor

Are you a technical product leader with deep engineering expertise who wants to lead the reinvention of education through AI? 2 Hour Learning seeks a technical architect to drive the modernization of our AI‑powered learning ecosystem. This role demands the technical rigor of a CTO, the product vision to catalyze transformational change, and the passion to apply those capabilities to unlock student potential at scale.

2 Hour Learning has taken a fundamentally different approach to AI in education : we rebuilt the school model from the foundation, leveraging AI and learning science to eliminate the constraints of the traditional classroom. Our students don’t just improve – they excel, earning multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams, demonstrating multi‑year academic growth within a single year, and consistently exceeding their own expectations. When AI serves as the core operating system of learning, student achievement accelerates dramatically.

This is not a conventional product management role centered on customer feedback loops or incremental feature releases. This is an executive‑level technical product ownership role where you will own the architecture, technical strategy, and AI integration of our entire learning system. You will be accountable for making critical technical trade‑offs that keep our products lean, scalable, and relentlessly focused on improving student outcomes. You will think with the rigor of a CTO but execute with the speed of a product entrepreneur, combining engineering excellence with learning science insights to continuously deliver breakthroughs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain deep education product expertise to inform strategic decisions
  • Create technical specifications that embody critical technical decisions and prioritize simplicity, efficiency, and long‑term sustainability
  • Deploy generative AI technologies to automate and optimize engineering processes, consistent with the strategic vision of minimizing manual labor

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Pure people management; your technical and business acumen will be the critical drivers in this position
  • Spending time in meetings, committees, and administrative tasks; we have automated management overhead to enable you to focus on creating business value through hands‑on work
  • High‑level strategies lacking implementation guidance; your recommendations must be grounded in product‑level insights
  • Basic Requirements

  • Deep experience or interest in data‑driven learning science
  • 7+ years of experience making critical architecture and design decisions on software projects, including the application of architecture design patterns or significant open‑source technologies
  • 2+ years of experience making design decisions involving the use of cloud computing services (primarily AWS)
  • 4+ years of experience in positions with full technical and delivery ownership on a revenue‑generating product
  • Experience building product features that make advanced use of Generative AI
  • Experience using Generative AI to simplify work processes
  • About 2 Hour Learning : Education is broken, but 2 Hour Learning is proving it doesn’t have to be. They’re tearing down the outdated one‑size‑fits‑all model and replacing it with AI‑driven personalized learning that helps kids master academics in just two hours a day. They offer a dynamic, on‑campus and remote‑friendly environment where innovators, educators, and AI specialists can be part of fixing a broken school system.

    Working with us : This is a full‑time (40 hours per week) long‑term position. The compensation level for this role is $200 USD / hour, which equates to $400,000 USD / year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year. Payment is made weekly. Consult the Crossover help center for more details.
