Khan Academy - Mountain View - (full-time and intern, designers and devs)
Our mission is to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're scaling quickly.
Our students answer over 2 million math problems per day (over 600M total so far), all generated by our open source exercise generation framework (http://github.com/khan/khan-exercises), and our videos (now from a variety of authors including Sal) have been viewed over 180MM times. We're tracking all that data and using it to customize each student's experience. We could use your help.
Working for Khan Academy is one of the highest educational impact positions you can imagine and we've been called by Wired one of the best places to work in Silicon Valley: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4157078.
We're hiring designers and all types of devs -- mobile, frontend, backend, whatever you want to call yourself. Big plans ahead.
Currently, I'm locked into a teaching contract for the next 2 college semesters. When my contract is up, I am definitely going to be checking out Khan for New Grad openings. Since I have ~9 months before I start sending out my resume, what types of things are you going to be looking for? I'd like to spend these 9 months preparing and hopefully surpassing your expectations.
The job page says what we're looking for pretty well: interesting side projects are a huge plus, as is being an expert at whatever tools you've used in the past.
