THE TEAM
We are a remote-first organization and we strive to build using technology that is best suited to solving problems for our learners. Currently, we build with Go, GraphQL, Typescript, React & React Native, Redux and we adopt new technologies like LLMs when they’ll help us better achieve our goals. At Khan, one of our values is “Cultivate Learning Mindsets”, so for us, it’s important that we’re working with all of our engineers to help match the right opportunity to the right individual, in order to ensure every engineer is operating at their “learning edge”.
You can read about our latest work on our Engineering Blog. A few highlights:
- Incremental Rewrites with GraphQL
- Our Transition to React Native
- Go + Services = One Goliath Project
- How Engineering Principles Can Help You Scale
- How to upgrade hundreds of React components without breaking production
Note: We welcome candidates with experience in any and all technologies. We don’t require experience in any particular language or tool. Our commitment to on-boarding and mentorship means you won’t be left in the dark as you learn new technologies.
