Full-Stack Engineer, Founding TeachSim Team

About Us: TeachSim is building a better way to develop teaching expertise. We believe teachers deserve the same thing we expect in other high skill professions: opportunities to learn, practice, receive meaningful feedback, and improve before the stakes are high. TeachSim uses AI-enabled simulations, coaching, and classroom feedback to help educators build the specific instructional skills that create rigorous, engaging, and affirming learning environments for students. Teachers can build skill for teaching from high-quality instructional materials in a low-stakes setting, receive immediate, actionable feedback, try again, and then use the same framework to understand and strengthen their instruction in real classrooms. Our vision is to make high-quality, evidence-based professional learning dramatically more accessible, personalized, and effective so that every teacher has the opportunity to build expertise and every student has access to excellent teaching. TeachSim is an incubated nonprofit venture at Cambiar Education. About the Role TeachSim is hiring its first full-time engineer and third full-time team member.

The work comes with real urgency, ambitious year-one deadlines, shifting requirements, and infrastructure that you will often need to create. It offers unusually broad ownership, direct access to users and decision-makers, and the chance to build technology that helps teachers improve their skills and students experience stronger instruction.
