What we're looking for
Khan Academy is looking for a few awesome designers to help us define and build our product.
The design team is still small, and we expect every member to be making contributions across the board. As a good candidate, you will have a great portfolio with a string of successful projects in your wake. Your friends and coworkers probably describe you as 'awesome' and think of you as the go-to person for:
- Web design
- User Experience design
- User Interface design
- Graphic design
- Navigation and information architecture
We also expect our designers to have solid technical skills. That means you know HTML and CSS inside out. You have a set of tools that you love to use when designing, like Photoshop, or paper and a Staedtler Mars Technico 780 C mechanical pencil with a pushbutton spring clutch. You're not afraid of code, and you've probably written some Javascript.
A few of the perks
You'll be working alongside a great mission-driven team that comes from Google, Facebook, Mozilla, Microsoft, tech startups, McKinsey, Pixar, Fog Creek Software, and more.
You also get the following benefits:
(We may be a non-profit, but we reward our talented team like a for-profit)
- Competitive salaries and annual bonuses
- 10 office holidays + paid time off as needed (required minimum of 10 days per year)
- 401(k) + 4% matching
- Comprehensive insurance (medical, dental, vision, life)
- Awesome team events and weekly board game nights
- The ability to spend your time on high-impact software that's already defining the future of education
- A fun, high-caliber team that trusts you, and gives you the freedom to be brilliant
And in case you didn't know...
We’re fun, quirky geeks at heart who believe that ‘Shipping beats perfection’. We've built a talented team including Fog Creekers Ben Kamens and Jason Rosoff, jQuery creator John Resig, Google hire #1 Craig Silverstein and YouTube mathemusician Vi Hart (vihart.com).
Every day, learners of all ages rely on Khan Academy to learn. Khan Academy has been featured broadly, including in 60 Minutes, Wired, The Economist and of course, The Colbert Report.
Join us on our mission to provide a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere.
How to apply
Along with your resume please provide:
A) Your portfolio, or even better, living breathing projects that you've worked on and helped to succeed
B) A cover letter including a brief explanation of why you'd like to join Khan Academy
C) If you are authorized to work in the United States
