In Office NA Frontend Engineer React Tailwind Zustand TypeScript Figma

Requirements

• 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 • 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 • Experience with Solid.js, Zustand, or similar modern tools • A/B testing and growth experimentation background • Education or impact-focused product experience • Familiarity with accessibility standards

Responsibilities

• 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)

Benefits

• 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 • 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 • 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.
