Khan Academy | Mountain View | Full-time At Khan Academy, we’re building an early product development team which will explore and propose solutions to big open problems in education. We’re looking for a couple new prototyping-and-invention oriented colleagues to join us, and we naturally thought of you all. Our approach is multidisciplinary, but we’re seeking depth in interaction design (https://boards.greenhouse.io/khanacademy/jobs/825531) and scrappy prototype engineering (https://boards.greenhouse.io/khanacademy/jobs/825502). For an idea of our work: we’re currently exploring how we might support students in developing rich understanding through open-ended, free-response-style activities (rather than the typical fill-in-the-blank or multiple-choice). We hope to help millions build critical thinking, historical reasoning, and literary analysis skills. Here are a few reports on more conceptual exploratory projects from some of the folks involved: https://www.khanacademy.org/research/reports/cantor and https://www.khanacademy.org/research/reports/early-math Please let us know if you’re at all interested in chatting more about the roles (andy@khanacademy.org). Thank you!
