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.

Just go for the money and try having a peaceful state of mind. Wherever you go you will probably have other issues.

This is so common in the tech industry as we are just "resource"s.

Of course politics. It is key to promotion in many companies, most of the companies don't care about your technical skills or your work.

I heard a lot of times that he wrote bulk of the NT kernel himself, is that really correct? I feel like a lot of people in his team are not given enough credit, and I also feel like he is being pushed as another tech hero.
