Role Overview:
The Customer Love team at Teachstone is focused on driving customer satisfaction and retention by evolving our most widely used products. These products are beloved but need refinement to meet the changing needs of our users. This team sits at the intersection of maintenance and innovation, improving usability and trust while laying the groundwork for a simpler, subscription-based future.

Engineers at Teachstone help define solutions, not just build them. You’ll work closely with Product, Design, and Impact to shape both the problems we tackle and how we solve them. Your work will help users complete tasks more easily, feel more satisfied, and stay engaged.

This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable working across the stack and brings particular strength in building clean, responsive, and maintainable front-end experiences.

What You'll Do:

Partner with Product and Design to explore customer problems and co-define solutions
Build and refine features that increase usability, trust, and engagement
Lead or contribute to front-end improvements that reduce error rates and support successful task completion
Contribute to back-end changes in Rails that support front-end improvements
Collaborate across teams (Support, Ops, QA) to validate and prioritize fixes based on real customer pain
Improve legacy code for better performance, accessibility, and maintainability
Design with an eye toward platform simplification and long-term subscription enablement
Write reliable, testable, and well-documented code
Use modern tools to streamline development and reduce repetitive work

We're Looking For:

3 to 5 years of experience as a full-stack or front-end-focused engineer
Strong proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript and frameworks like React
Ability to build clean, responsive, and accessible front-end experiences
Experience improving or modernizing legacy codebases
Solid understanding of Ruby on Rails or similar MVC frameworks
Good judgment about when to fix, refactor, or rebuild, with a pragmatic, user-focused mindset
Openness to using modern tools, including AI, to improve workflow and code quality
Ability to diagnose issues across the stack and isolate root causes
Experience shaping product direction, not just executing delivery
Interest in improving real-world outcomes through continuous product improvement
Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to cross-functional work

Nice to Have:

Experience in Rails-based systems
Familiarity with HEART or similar UX metrics
Background working in sustainment, support engineering, or quality-focused teams
Familiarity with browser performance tools, accessibility standards, and usability best practices
Experience building internal tools, workflow automation, or cross-system integrations

Why Join This Team?

You’ll work on products people already love and help make them even better.
You’ll contribute to meaningful outcomes in early childhood education.
You’ll join a small, cross-functional team with shared ownership of both what to build and how to build it.
You’ll help simplify legacy systems and build more scalable solutions.
You’ll see the direct impact of your work in metrics that matter to real users.
You’ll join a team that values trust, focus, and craftsmanship.

What We Offer:
Fair, Competitive Pay: We ensure equal pay for equal work, using consistent salary bands based on market benchmarks, reviewed annually. Prior salaries, negotiation skills, or fear of conflict don’t influence your pay.

Salary Range: $110,000-$127,000 determined by your experience, skills and internal equity.

Comprehensive benefits: We offer an inclusive benefits package to support your overall well-being. Eligibility depends on your role and employment status.
