khanacademy.org - Mountain View, CA - remote is a possibility
Non-profit trying to change education.
A note we got last week:
==================================
I only have a bachelor's degree in IT and I can only find "boring" jobs because of that even if my actual job can seem cool on paper.
I watched Cosmos and other sciences/physics stuff and was always amazed by that kind of knowledge. I tried to understand a bit more about the physics but lacked the mathematical knowledge. I looked for ways to refresh my memory and discovered Khan Academy.
Khan Academy made me fall in love mathematics. The master challenge are amazing, I spend 20-30h a week on Khan Academy while working full time and saving money because...
I will go back to school next year to try to get a degree in Physics.
==================================
Every month we get letters like this from people everywhere who are thankful for our free, high-quality content. Most of you know Sal's videos, but we also have thousands of videos from other teachers, partnerships with the likes of MoMA, the Met, and the Aspen Institute, plus a huge library of interactive exercises. More than 20 million math problems are done every week on our site.
We're especially looking for mobile devs and product designers but we have other positions open too (both technical and not) -- take a look and see what suits you.
