FRONTEND ENGINEER - TEACHSHARE

ABOUT TEACHSHARE

TeachShare is revolutionizing K-12 education for teachers with AI-powered curriculum creation tools. We're a fast-growing EdTech startup (surpassing revenue milestones, 400K+ teachers) backed by top education investors. Our platform helps teachers create differentiated, standards-aligned instructional materials in minutes instead of hours.

We're a small, high-impact-driven team of 4 full-time employees based in NYC, moving fast and shipping features that reach tens of thousands of teachers daily.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a meticulous frontend engineer who can translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces. You'll work directly with our designer (ex-CIA, Harvard) to rapidly iterate on growth experiments and ship features that directly impact teacher retention and activation.

This isn't a typical frontend role - you'll own the entire frontend experience for a platform with 60%+ week-4 retention and be responsible for A/B testing experiments that move core metrics.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design Implementation: Convert Figma designs to production code with extreme attention to detail (10px vs 15px matters)

- Growth Experiments: Ship A/B tests through PostHog, implement feature flags, and iterate based on data

- Rapid Iteration: Work in tight cycles with our designer - design in morning, ship by EOD

- Component Development: Build and maintain our design system using Solid.js and Tailwind

- Performance: Ensure fast, responsive experiences across devices (many teachers use older Chromebooks)


TECH STACK

- Frontend: Solid.js (React alternative), Tailwind CSS, TypeScript

- State Management: Zustand (preferred), React Query for data fetching

- Tools: PostHog (analytics/A/B testing), Figma, PNPM monorepo

- Infrastructure: Vercel, NEON DB with branching


WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

MUST-HAVES

- Strong frontend fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript)

- Experience with React or similar frameworks (we use Solid.js - easy to learn)

- Obsessive attention to design details and spacing

- Ability to work independently and ship fast

- Comfortable with rapid iteration and experimentation

NICE-TO-HAVES

- Experience with Solid.js, Zustand, or similar modern tools

- A/B testing and growth experimentation background

- Design system development experience

- Education or impact-focused product experience

- Familiarity with accessibility standards

WHY TEACHSHARE?

- Impact: Your work directly helps teachers save 10+ hours/week and reach struggling students

- Ownership: Be one of the first frontend engineers - shape our entire user experience

- Growth: 100% week-over-week growth

- Speed: Ship features to production daily, see immediate user feedback

- Team: Work with exceptional engineers (ex-NASA ML, UC Berkeley dropouts, published researchers, youngest CS grad at Rutgers)

- Mission: Help 10% of US teachers (already at 400K users) create better learning experiences


COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Salary: $100-180K cash, and meaningful equity (flexible for exceptional candidates)

- Equity: Competitive early-stage equity package

- Location: NYC-based (in-person preferred) or remote with quarterly NYC visits

- Work Style: Async-first, results-oriented, minimal meetings

- Growth: Clear path to senior/lead roles as we scale


OUR CULTURE

We're a talent-dense team that values:

- Velocity over perfection: Ship fast, iterate based on data

- User obsession: Sub-3 minute support response times, we read every piece of feedback

- Autonomy: Own your work end-to-end, minimal hand-holding

- Impact: We're here to solve real problems for teachers, not just build cool tech

Timeline: We move fast - expect to hear back within 24 hours if there's a fit.
