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
