Original posting

Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA (we also love interns, and remote is a possibility) We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Here's a testimonial we received last wweek: ================================== I just want to thank you soooo very much in high school it was very hard for me and I hated studying also even thou my mother told me it would help me I never listened and now I am in college and this website helps me so much with algebra/health and so much more when I start working again I want to give back to you for helping me out in college and becoming a Doctor because you can never say never :) ================================== Every month we get hundreds of letters like this from people in all walks of life who are thankful for our free, high-quality educational content. 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. Over 20 million math problems are done every week on our site. You'll be part of a small team working alongside both "celebrity" devs (like jQuery creator John Resig and Google's first employee Craig Silverstein) and many more who you haven't heard of but who are also really awesome. We're especially looking for new product designers (of all types) but we also have many engineering positions open as well as some positions for a teacher and contract question writers. Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers and mention that you're coming from HN. Feel free to email me at alpert+HN@khanacademy.org if you have questions about applying or about KA in general. Unfortunately we can't sponsor visas right now unless you're from Canada, Australia, or Mexico.
