About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Tech Lead Manager to lead and manage a team of senior full-stack engineers building AI-native learning experiences in ChatGPT. This person will combine technical execution, product judgment, and people leadership: they will write and ship code, manage engineers, and help shape the product direction for how students and Educators use AI.
In This Role, You Will
Lead and manage a team of three senior full-stack engineers.
Build product experiences for ChatGPT Education, ChatGPT for Teachers, and AI-native learning workflows.
Partner with research teams on field studies, randomized control trials, classifiers, data pipelines, and cognitive-outcome measurement.
Collaborate with Consumer Learning and model teams to translate education insights into broader ChatGPT behavior and product improvements.
Drive execution across product, engineering, research, go-to-market, and partner teams.
Help define product strategy, priorities, and delivery plans for a new product pod.
You Might Thrive In This Role If You
Have several years of direct people-management experience with engineers.
Are still highly technical and comfortable doing IC engineering work.
Have strong product sense and can operate like a GM for a focused product area.
Can lead senior engineers with credibility and clear technical direction.
Are effective at cross-functional influence, communication, and project management.
