Thanks! We are fortunate to have good name recognition. One thing we've noticed is that a lot of folks don't know that we're a non-profit, so we try to make that point as much as we can.

Edit to add: speaking for myself and my perception of my coworkers... We just feel amazingly fortunate to have the opportunity to work toward our mission.

You're very fortunate, indeed. :) It's very frustrating when you can't find a job aligned with your values. Tbh, one of the reasons I've decided to create zoonk.org (my current side project) was because I couldn't get a job at Khan Academy or Wikimedia.

Are there positions for software engineer interns? I have been looking all the time and I keep missing the recruitment window.

My academic life would be so painful without khanacademy and it'd be great to contribute to this.

> we're a non-profit

Does that mean all your financials are public? Where can we find the full reports?

I'm happy to hear that you've found us helpful in your academic life!

We don't have internship openings right now. We generally do those interviews in the fall (for the following summer).

Thanks! It would be great if you could specify the salary range here as well.

I don't know what the range is, or if we post those publicly. What I do know is that we pay competitively, but we obviously don't have stock so there is no stock component to the pay. Someone whose primary goal is to make money would likely do well to look at companies with big stock and bonus plans.

People who are looking to make a good tech salary and help the world at the same time will be happy at Khan, I think.
