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.

Hey HN, Eric Zhang here, formerly YC W11, current CTO @ Scalable Press. I’m posting because we are bootstrapped and profitable, and we’re hiring software engineers. To give you an idea of what you’d do, one engineer on our team wrote an API that helps print over 10,000 shirts a day. Our stack is node, react, angular, and mongo.
We may have already answered your questions about us on http://scalable.press/product-engineer/. It covers hiring process, engineering culture, past projects, and future projects you might work on with us.
Interested? Email me and mention you’re from HN. No need to send a resume—I’d like to hear about what you’ve been working on lately, and feel free to include any relevant project links.
[email protected] http://scalable.press/product-engineer/
PS We're also hiring a lead product designer, head of marketing, and a software engineer with a focus on warehouse automation software. If you're into industrial processes, I would be happy to show you our 4 warehouses.
We posted in the May thread too and have already made a hire from HN! Just wanted to share the good news.

We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent 30 GHz radios in space using SDRs.
Work with incredibly smart people who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a very small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.
Roles we’re hiring for include:
* Embedded software -- write mission critical software that runs the spacecraft. Should have experience with microcontroller driver-level code and basic PCB design.
* Electrical -- PCB design, layout, bringup, test. Bonus: experience with fault-tolerant electronics, power systems, or high speed digital design
* Mechanical -- design, build, and test deployables and mechanisms. Should be experienced in stress and thermal analysis
* Aerospace/controls -- implement solutions to 6 DOF, non-linear control problems. Experience with spacecraft controls is a plus but not required.
* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range including microwave system-level design, RF PCB design, and antenna design, simulation, and characterization.
* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores
Please email [email protected] if you’re interested in learning more.

We're growing in a big way and are looking for experienced engineers to join our team to help make enterprise learning better. Our "stack" is React + React Native + Relay + GraphQL + Roda + Sequel + Postgres + etc.

SwiftStack helps companies address the rapid growth of valuable but unstructured data. We build an object storage system capable of safely storing many petabytes of data and effectively managing the ecosystem of machines, devices, and drives that it takes to do so. We do all of this on commodity hardware so that companies can build out storage behind their firewall in a way that is both cost-effective and optimized for them personally.
Some relevant info:
* Our stack is primarily Python with some Go, but we know you can learn those things if you don’t know them already.
* Our headquarters is in San Francisco, and we have a small office in San Jose as well.
* We have a small team that punches way above its weight class.
* We love open source. Our storage engine is based on OpenStack Swift, and we’re big contributors to it as well as other open source projects.
We’re looking for talented engineers of all stripes. If you have a strong background in storage management, distributed systems, or devops, then we’re particularly interested, but many of our number began as very gifted web developers with a hunger to learn something new.
Our interview process: (1) intro with founder + entertaining technical phone screen, (2) onsite, technically focused interview that's mostly small work-sample programming that you perform on your own computer, + meeting the team (3) there is no number 3.
To apply: https://www.swiftstack.com/jobs/
Thank you!

Help build the future of outdoor mapping at Gaia GPS. We work as a distributed 12-person team, currently throughout the US and Canada. Gaia GPS is boot-strapped, has been in business since 2009, and we hired 3 people in the last 3 months based on 8 months of crazy growth.
Every single person at the company makes and builds. Ten of twelve people contribute to the code, and everyone contributes to the writing, media, and product design.
We have the most flexible work environment, which lets all of us balance family and other interests, with work.
We offer 4 weeks of vacation, and another 12 paid holidays that can be shuffled around. We provide 2 months of paid maternity, 1 month of paid paternity, and additional unpaid leave.
We provide the best computers, monitors, tablets, and other home office equipment. We reimburse home internet and mobile phone bills. We also have an annual 4-day retreat, such as to Tahoe, to hang-out and mingle the remote team. We like to comp expenses for any sort of books or other materials for learning.
If you already use Gaia GPS or other technology outdoors, tell us about it. We heavily favor candidates who do. You must have published complex websites, apps, or other software. Your application should include links to either open source software, or apps/websites you have helped build.
Email [email protected]. We intend to complete this hiring round in July or August. Our interview process is a series of technical interviews via video chat, with no onsites because we have no HQ.
