About the Role

Location: Remote

Role Type: Full-Time

Reporting to: Chief Product Officer

Total Compensation: $200,000 - $232,000
  • Base salary: $135,000 - $175,000
  • Total compensation includes base salary plus a guaranteed monthly supplement

Every CodePath learner engages our platform, whether they are a college CS student in a direct course, a student at a partner university, an alum sharpening their skills, or a working engineer retraining for the AI era. The Senior Product Manager, Learner Platform Experience owns this platform.

CodePath's courses work because they are intensive, industry-vetted, and human. The hard problem is scale. As we grow from tens of thousands of learners toward millions, the quality and effectiveness of the learner experience on the platform has to improve, not dilute. That demands an AI-First approach: clearly and thoughtfully identifying where AI can accelerate effectiveness, productivity, and scale, and where human connection and touchpoints are essential to maintain motivation, commitment, and progress. Getting that boundary right is the core judgment call of this job, and you will make it over and over.

The ownership lines are clear. Curriculum owns what we teach. The Learning team owns how it is taught, including the live classroom. You own the platform: everything a learner touches when they log in, from the course portal to asynchronous engagement between sessions to the touchpoints that keep them moving. You will collaborate closely with Learning so the platform powers great live delivery, but the platform experience is yours.

Success looks like measurable acceleration in the rate of learning, retention, and engagement, even as the number of students grows by an order of magnitude.

Two things make this role unlike most PM jobs

Learning rate is the scoreboard. Plenty of platforms can deliver content at scale. Almost none can prove their students learn faster because of them. You will be measured on outcomes, retention, and engagement, not feature velocity.

The ceiling is enormous. Every course CodePath delivers, direct or through partners, rides on the platform experience you build. As we scale to an order of magnitude of more students, your decisions compound across every learner we will ever serve.

What you'll do
  • Own the core learner platform experience across every segment: college CS students, alumni, working engineers, and students at partner institutions
  • Translate learning, retention, and engagement goals into a prioritized roadmap
  • Use AI across your entire workflow to compress weeks into days, raising the quality and the speed of what you ship
  • Own our AI-assisted learning experiences end to end, including taking the AI Tutor and AI Grader from prototype to product. These student-facing AI surfaces are yours, not shared
  • Decide where AI accelerates effectiveness, productivity, and scale, and where human connection is essential to maintain motivation, commitment, and progress
  • Collaborate with Curriculum, Learning, and Engineering: they own what is taught and how the classroom runs, you build the platform that powers live delivery and asynchronous engagement
  • Set a high bar for design quality and engaging interactions across every learner touchpoint
  • Define the metrics that prove learning rate, retention, and engagement are improving at scale, and design experiments, grounded in discovery with users, to test your biggest bets


Who you are

You are a PM who has owned products that learners or users depend on every day, and you know how to walk into something live and make it measurably better. You are deeply AI-Native and you believe great learning products are judged by what learners can do afterward.

Required
  • You have scaled a live product. You have inherited or grown something real users already depended on, raised its quality while usage multiplied, and you know the difference between launching and improving
    • Zero-to-one instincts still matter here: you will not inherit documentation, process, or a roadmap, so you know how to map what exists and chart the path forward yourself
  • AI is genuinely how you work. You can show how your workflow has changed: prototypes, requirements, and analyses you generate and pressure-test in hours, not months
  • You have built products where engagement and retention were the scoreboard, and you know how to design the loops, touchpoints, and interactions that move them
  • You hold strong opinions and you can defend them live. You bring clear, well-reasoned bets and stand behind them under pressure
  • You thrive in ambiguity. You can structure messy problems, build alignment across learning and technical teams, and drive execution with no playbook
  • You have strong analytical instincts. You define the metrics that matter and read the data to make the call
  • You write requirements engineers trust, and you can sell a product strategy to technical and non-technical audiences alike

Preferred
  • Fluency across the modern PM toolkit: product analytics (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Hex), prototyping and design (Figma, Framer), data querying (SQL), and AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar)
  • Background in edtech, learning platforms, or consumer education products, or deep working familiarity with learning science
  • Experience with AI tutoring, adaptive learning, or personalization systems
  • Founder experience or equivalent time building in a hyperscaling environment

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every qualification listed. Strong candidates often look different from what a job description imagines, and we would rather talk to someone exceptional who checks seven of nine boxes than miss them entirely.
