We strive to be world-class in investing in our people and commit to developing you as a professional. THE ROLE We are seeking a talented and driven Fullstack Engineer II (24 months fixed-term) to join our team and play a key role in expanding and enhancing our international products. We support Enterprise customers in the U.S. and abroad, and are increasing our focus on developing and improving our systems for a significantly larger scale of international users, particularly in areas like rostering, enrollment of large educational institutions, and providing data access to usage and outcome data for millions of students, teachers, and administrators. 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, JavaScript, React &amp; 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”.
