About this role.
CodePath is seeking a senior individual-contributor Product Manager to own the end-to-end learner platform experience for college students, alumni, working engineers, and university partners. The role centers on improving measurable learning outcomes, retention, and engagement while scaling the platform from tens of thousands to millions of learners. This PM will lead AI-assisted learner products, including an AI Tutor and AI Grader, and make critical decisions about where automation versus human interaction creates the best educational outcomes. Success requires strong product strategy, experimentation, analytics, UX judgment, and cross-functional leadership across Curriculum, Learning, Design, and Engineering.

Sample interview questions
I would define learning success metrics before expanding the feature, such as concept mastery, assignment completion quality, time to competency, assessment performance, and course completion. I would pair these with engagement and retention metrics, run controlled experiments where possible, and segment results by learner background and course type. Qualitative learner feedback and instructor observations would help validate whether metric gains represent genuine understanding.
I would begin with a structured discovery phase: map the learner journey, audit current features and technical constraints, review behavioral data, interview learners and internal stakeholders, and identify the highest-friction moments. I would translate the findings into an outcome-based strategy with a small number of measurable objectives, then prioritize initiatives using expected learner impact, confidence, effort, and strategic importance. I would share the roadmap as a living artifact and revisit priorities as evidence changes.
I evaluate the learner need, the consequences of an incorrect response, the importance of motivation and accountability, and whether a human relationship materially changes the outcome. AI is strong for immediate practice feedback, personalization, content navigation, and scalable support, while human interaction may be essential for coaching, belonging, nuanced intervention, and high-stakes instructional judgment. I would test the boundary through prototypes and experiments rather than assume one model is always best.
A strong answer should explain the initial retention problem, the evidence used to identify key drop-off points, and the specific product hypothesis tested. It should quantify the impact on activation, repeat usage, retention, or completion, while also describing how the candidate avoided optimizing a superficial engagement metric. The answer should demonstrate collaboration with design, engineering, analytics, and relevant domain experts.
I would anchor conversations in shared learner outcomes and make ownership boundaries explicit: Curriculum owns what is taught, Learning owns delivery, and the platform team owns the learner product experience. I would use a common set of metrics, decision documents, and regular planning rituals to surface tradeoffs early. When disagreement remains, I would clearly state the decision, rationale, risks, and measurement plan so the team can learn quickly and adjust based on evidence.

About the Role
Location: Remote
Role Type: Full-Time
Reporting to: Chief Product Officer
Total Compensation: $200,000 – $232,000
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.
Compensation
CodePath has standardized salaries based on the position’s level, no matter where you live. For this role, we’re hiring for an Individual Contributor level position. Total compensation is $200,000 to $232,000.
