Imagine being a teacher in Sarasota, Florida, four years after the pandemic started, with a classroom full of 6th graders who haven’t had a normal year of school or learning since 2019.

If you’re looking for the opportunity to support something positive for humanity through your visual design skill set, we'd love to hear from you. Even if you don’t check every box (no one does), we encourage you to apply!

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Create visual assets based on initial ideas and a creative brief for a wide variety of campaigns and initiatives.
• Deliver outstanding designs that are compelling, emotionally rich, and age/audience appropriate.
• Assist other team members with production deliverables for projects they’re leading.
• Actively participate in critique by giving and receiving constructive feedback.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 3+ years of relevant experience with an agency, global brand, or growth-stage tech company.

• Experience designing for a wide array of audiences, including school-age children, teenagers, young adults, and adults.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. 
• Comfortable in ambiguous situations and dynamic environments that run similar to a startup.
• Desire to learn by working shoulder-to-shoulder with outstanding senior designers, develop your storytelling and customer service skills.

• Introspective, mature, and emotionally intelligent.
• Invested in your own growth and the growth of our Design team.
• Proactively seek out the people/information you need to move work forward and unblock yourself.

• Willing to roll your sleeves up and pitch in when a project goes off-script.
• Passionate about education and designing engaging experiences for our audiences, deeply curious about how and why people learn.
• Huge bonus if you’ve worked in a K-12 classroom before.

THE ROLE

We’re a small team with big dreams and we’re only just getting started. We have some of the richest educational data in the world, and we want to leverage that data to develop a clearer picture of who our users are, how they are using the site, and how we could better serve them on their educational journey. Your work will enable answering critical and meaningful questions like "how do students learn most effectively?" and "how can we improve our content and product?".

The Sr. Analytics Engineer will strengthen our capabilities to enable the organization to use data to inform our decisions. You’ll have ownership of our enterprise data model and the core data pipelines that power our top line metrics and critical analyses. 

The Sr. Analytics Engineer is someone who enjoys tidying and documenting data and then delighting in the company’s well-organized EDW. You favor writing SQL to transform raw data into the data models to service your customers, the Analytics and Research teams, to empower them to generate actionable insights for stakeholders. You’ll work on projects that improve the quality and reliability of our existing data, and you’ll also enable entire new areas of the organization with new core data sources.

  • Partner with analytics team members, the research team, and the broader product and business teams to design and standardize business rules and metric definitions. 
  • Implement EDW standards and robust monitoring/QA processes to ensure we continue to improve the quality and reliability of our data.
• Empower every team with data:
  • Identify, pilot, and deploy whichever tools, datasets, and processes are best suited to increase access to and data use across Khan Academy to empower data-driven decision-making.
  • In addition to supporting members of the Data Insights Group, work with the product, content, philanthropy, marketing teams, and others to bring data to their fingertips, ideally with solutions that allow them to self-serve with our Looker implementation.
  • You will also build infrastructural data solutions to facilitate reporting to external partners and will ensure the highest standards of data accuracy, reliability, and security
• Help instill a ‘data driven’/’data informed’ culture:
  • Shepherd our Metrics and Data Documentation wiki
  • Train team members on data skills and tooling

WHAT YOU BRING:

• 6+ years experience in analytics engineering / data engineering or data warehousing; or in a business intelligence field with a strong emphasis on data modeling and pipeline work. Preference for experience in a consumer-facing internet business or edtech setting.
• Advanced SQL skills (window functions, creating UDFs,  DML/DDL commands, etc.)
• Proficiency in writing and maintaining data pipelines and data quality monitors in a workflow management tool for productionized solutions, with source control and code review.
• Proficiency in computer science and software engineering fundamentals, including at least one scripting language (e.g., Python)
• Experience across the entire data lifecycle: instrumentation, logging, data modeling, ETL, Business Intelligence, and visualization tools.

OUR COMPANY VALUES

Live & breathe learners

We deeply understand and empathize with our users. We leverage user insights, research, and experience to build content, products, services, and experiences that our users trust and love. Our success is defined by the success of our learners and educators.

Take a stand

As a company, we have conviction in our aspirational point of view of how education will evolve. The work we do is in service to moving towards that point of view. However, we also listen, learn and flex in the face of new data, and commit to evolving this point of view as the industry and our users evolve.

Embrace diverse perspectives

We are a diverse community. We seek out and embrace a diversity of voices, perspectives and life experiences leading to stronger, more inclusive teams and better outcomes. As individuals, we are committed to bringing up tough topics and leaning into different points of view with curiosity. We actively listen, learn and collaborate to gain a shared understanding. When a decision is made, we commit to moving forward as a united team.

Work responsibly and sustainably

We understand that achieving our audacious mission is a marathon, so we set realistic timelines and we focus on delivery that also links to the bigger picture. As a non-profit, we are supported by the generosity of donors as well as strategic partners, and understand our responsibility to our finite resources. We spend every dollar as though it were our own. We are responsible for the impact we have on the world and to each other. We ensure our team and company stay healthy and financially sustainable.

Bring out the joy

We are committed to making learning a joyful process. This informs what we build for our users and the culture we co-create with our teammates, partners and donors.

Cultivate learning mindset

We believe in the power of growth for learners and for ourselves. We constantly learn and teach to improve our offerings, ourselves, and our organization. We learn from our mistakes and aren’t afraid to fail. We don't let past failures or successes stop us from taking future bold action and achieving our goals.

Deliver wow

We insist on high standards and deliver delightful, effective end-to-end experiences that our users can rely on. We choose to focus on fewer things — each of which aligns to our ambitious vision — so we can deliver high-quality experiences that accelerate positive measurable learning with our strategic partners.

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or Veteran status. We value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we encourage candidates from historically underrepresented groups to apply.

• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Comfortable in ambiguous situations and dynamic environments that run similar to a startup.
• Eager to learn a lot about generative AI-driven products and how to make them accessible.

THE ROLE

Currently we are focused on providing equitable solutions to historically under-resourced communities of learners and teachers, and guided by our Engineering Principles. On the Product team, you might work on projects such as:

• Integrating state of the art learning science into our product to enable learners and teachers to quickly identify and address learning gaps on the fly.

• Building tools for teachers to use Khan Academy as a strategic supplement in their classrooms.

With the recent launch of Khanmigo and Artificial Intelligence (AI) 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”.
