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.
