Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA (remote possible)
We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.
Millions of people in all walks of life use our free educational platform to learn (check out some testimonials at https://www.khanacademy.org/stories). Most of you reading this are familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers, partnerships with organizations like MoMA and the California Academy of Sciences, and a huge library of interactive exercises.
A few things we're currently working on building right now:
– Major improvements to our mobile offerings to let students practice skills on the go [1]
– Improved knowledge models so we can better know what you know and don't know [2]
– Infrastructure improvements to make the site more reliable and faster for our millions of visitors every month [3]
==================================
We're especially looking for mobile and ops engineers, but we have a handful of other positions open. Unfortunately, we've filled up our slots for this coming summer internship, but we'd happily talk to intern candidates for future terms.
Yes, unfortunately that's correct. We're going to work to make this situation better, but for now we require eligibility to work in the US and can only support visas from citizens of Canada, Mexico and Australia right now.
