TeachBoost is a performance management platform in K-12 to help instructional leaders (principals, coaches) better support the educators they work with. We're VC backed and have had success where others haven't in edtech - we have hundreds of paying schools and districts throughout the country.

We're growing our development team and looking for developers passionate about their craft and helping one of the most important sectors get over their terrible addiction to bad enterprise software. We're a small team and you'll have tremendous influence and independence on our tools that thousands of educators use daily.

TeachBoost is looking for a full-time software developer for our New York, NY office who can manage support development, usability testing, and bug fixes as well as contribute to a number of internal and production projects. We're a fast-growing team and we need someone who can work closely with our support team to handle usability issues in real time and interface between our support and development teams. PHP experience and familiarity with the Unix environment are big pluses!

Importantly, we're an education startup and we love working with schools, teachers, and principals. You should be willing to work in our industry and handle the unique set of problems that come up with education and institutional clients (as well as going up against large institutional competitors!). You should have experience working on a small team with tight deadlines, and you should be familiar with OO concepts as well as design patterns. You should learn new languages and technologies quickly, be innovative, enjoy challenges, and have a great work ethic.
