Develop and maintain pixel-perfect, responsive frontend interfaces for an EdTech platform, focusing on design implementation, growth experiments, and A/B testing.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- 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)
Requirements
- 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 have
- 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
Conditions
- 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
Other
- 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.
- 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
- 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
- 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.
