THE ROLE
We are hiring a Sr. Software Engineer. We are focused on providing equitable solutions to historically under-resourced communities of learners and teachers, and guided by our Engineering Principles. You'll help us build out our platform and leverage AI to democratize 1:1 tutoring for every learner, and a teaching assistant to every teacher, at scale.
We are a remote-first organization and we strive to build using technology that is best suited to solving problems for our learners. We build with Go, GraphQL, JavaScript, React & React Native, Redux and we adopt new technologies 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:

- Proven cross-cultural competency skills demonstrating self-awareness, awareness of other, and the ability to adopt inclusive perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors to drive inclusion and belonging throughout the organization.
