    as a technology, this role will help harness the power of AI to deliver the product capabilities where applicable.


    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 & 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".
