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