Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA and REMOTE USA/CANADA

We're a non-profit with a mission to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. It's a big mission that we're taking on step by step. While we want anyone to be able to get a great education independently, we've been focusing a lot on trying to help teachers working in their classrooms (and a lot of teachers and parents are using Khan away from their classrooms right now!)

Our site has been built on Python 2 and Google App Engine for its first 10 years of existence. We're now in the midst of a rebuild in Go (still on App Engine).[1] Parts of that new Go-based infrastructure are already running in production.

To say that this is an exciting time for us would be an understatement, I think, but we continue to have working sustainably as an engineering principle. (Our principles are available publicly[2].)
