Khan Academy | Mountain View, CA / Remote US+Canada | Senior Backend or Full-Stack Engineer https://www.khanacademy.org/careers A lot more people have become acquainted with Khan Academy over the past couple of weeks as parents and teachers have been looking for resources to help students learn at home. We're a non-profit with a mission of providing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. This mission resonates with a lot of folks and we had some attention here on HN this past weekend around Sal's request for donations[1] (and thanks to everyone who donated!) Right now, we're looking for senior backend (or full-stack) engineers to help us as we iteratively move our backend from Python 2 to Go[2]. Experience with those languages is a bonus, but not a requirement. We definitely believe it when we say "you can learn anything!"
