Do you want to create products that make life easier for teachers?

Teacherspace is looking for our first technical hire to join us in our mission to help teachers reach their full potential, thereby improving well-being and learning opportunities for children.

After building our MVP in the summer of 2022, we have since built out the first version of our platform, resulting in a fully functioning web app and mobile apps for iOS and Android and now we’re looking for our first full-time developer to help us continue our growth and follow our ambitious roadmap.
