Education is the most powerful lever for driving the transition to a sustainable society. That’s why we’ve built a university dedicated to educating and empowering the change-makers of tomorrow. We offer accredited degree programs designed to equip learners with 21st-century competencies while providing access to a world-class network of experts to maximize their impact.
As a remote-first institution, we use technology and AI to enable flexible, personalized learning - accessible from anywhere in the world.
We are proud to be the first EdTech startup in Europe with a fully state-recognized university license and to be ranked among the Top 20 EdTech startups globally.
We believe that transforming education requires rethinking how we teach. At Tomorrow University, we move beyond the traditional, teacher-centered approach and embrace a student-centric learning model. Our goal is to equip learners with the essential skills and mindset needed to create global impact, supported by a vast network of change-makers.
At Tomorrow University, we leverage science and technology to enhance learning while fostering a global community for continuous growth and impact.

About the roleWhile there is no requirement to attend the office, candidates should be located in Berlin or Brandenburg.
Build the operating system for a new kind of university
At Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences, we are building the University for the Age of AI — a fully remote, state-recognized university designed for the careers of tomorrow.
AI is fundamentally reshaping how we work, what we need to learn, and how education should be delivered. Traditional universities are structurally unable to keep up.
We are solving this by building an AI-native UniversityOS: the core operating system of the university. It runs the student lifecycle from application to graduation and connects learners, programs, competencies, challenges, assessments, feedback, progression, credentials, operations, and AI into one coherent platform.
We are now looking for a Head of Product & Engineering (f/m/x) to take ownership of UniversityOS and turn it into the defining platform for the next generation of education.
This is not a classical edtech product role. It is a builder-operator role at the intersection of product, engineering, academic operations, AI, and systems architecture.
Your mission
Own and evolve UniversityOS, the core platform powering Tomorrow University.
You will inherit existing systems, workflows, and technical debt while leading the transition toward a much more ambitious platform: an AI-native university that delivers personalized, outcome-based education at scale.
This includes both:
You will shape how thousands, and eventually hundreds of thousands, of learners experience education.
Your job is to understand the university deeply, simplify complexity, ship fast, and continuously explore where new technology can create leverage.
What you’ll own
Product & Platform Ownership
University Systems Architecture
AI-Native Product Development
Engineering Leadership
Product-Led Growth
Build, Migrate & Scale
Technology Exploration & Strategic Leverage
Who you are
You are a builder first, leader second.
You combine product thinking with technical depth and enjoy turning ideas into shipped reality.
You may have been a founder, technical product lead, engineering lead, or early-stage product builder.
You are not someone who only manages roadmaps. You have built real products, made trade-offs under pressure, dealt with complex clients or stakeholders, and shipped products without perfect conditions.
You are strong when there is ambiguity, complexity, and no obvious playbook.
You might be a great fit if you:
What makes this role a great challenge
The hard part is not just building features.
The hard part is understanding how a university actually works, turning that into software, and then using AI to make the model dramatically better.
You will need to balance:
The kind of person we are looking for
We are looking for someone who can operate in a complex, evolving environment and bring structure, clarity, and momentum.
You are able to understand how the university works at a deep level, identify where technology can create meaningful leverage, and translate that into pragmatic product and engineering decisions.
You combine technical curiosity with sound judgment. You actively follow developments in AI, learning technologies, infrastructure, and digital product development, but you evaluate them through the lens of learner outcomes, academic quality, operational scalability, and long-term maintainability.
You bring founder-like ownership without needing a startup-style environment. You are comfortable taking responsibility for ambiguous problems, aligning stakeholders, making trade-offs, and turning strategy into execution.
We are not looking for a pure manager, a ticket dispatcher, or a strategy-only product person.
We are looking for a builder-operator with technical depth, product judgment, and the ability to evolve UniversityOS into the operating system for AI-native higher education.
What Matters to Us
We’re looking for people who thrive in a dynamic, mission-driven environment. These traits are especially important to us:
