Khan Academy | Mountain View, CA or REMOTE | full-time and internships
We're bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.
Over the past 10 years we've gone from Sal's family project to a global institution reaching 100+ million students annually. And the testimonials we receive every day remind us that our impact isn't just about big numbers — access to free education meaningfully changes the lives of people in all sorts of situations. (In a recent survey, 64% of first generation students at selective colleges said that “Khan Academy has had a meaningful impact on their education”.)
We face intense challenges in providing access to students across the world (think: everything from videos to interactive content, in and out of classrooms, in all the most important languages, on all the most important devices). We use our data to personalize students' learning and continually improve our content. We're trying to build a strong, diverse team — and we need more help.
We've made some great hires off HN and would love to make more. Especially if you're a designer or experienced engineer. Best way to apply is at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers. Mention HN.
Do you guys hire remotely from all over the world or only US/Canada? I've been following the careers page for a few months anxiously and have been totally afraid to apply. Few days ago I checked, you guys had updated the remote options to only US/Canada. Hopes totally dashed since then.
I had the same question a few months ago. Unfortunately working from Asia wasn't an option, but I'd still suggest reaching out since the Khan Academy folks are very helpful and encouraged me to interview if I was ever back in the US.
I find that a lot of times people post here with "Remote" jobs. Then I contact them and they say "we're not looking for anyone in your area". Doesn't remote imply that the location doesn't really matter? I'm even in the US.
