Job Description:
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

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

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