Senior Fullstack Engineer I, Content Platform (24 months fixed-term)

Notice to applicants:

We have seen a rise in recruitment scams. Please note that outreach from Khan Academy recruiters will only come from the @khanacademy.org domain. Our team does not use Gmail or other personal accounts for contacting potential candidates. Khan Academy will never solicit money, equipment fees, or sensitive financial information at any stage of the hiring process. We also do not work with external recruiting agencies, so outreach from headhunters presenting opportunities on behalf of Khan Academy is illegitimate. Please always check the email domain and cross-reference the position with the official Khan Academy Careers page to confirm an opening is valid.

THE ROLE

Khan Academy’s Content Platform team builds and maintains the core systems that power how our content is created, translated, published, and served at global scale. Our work directly supports equitable access to high-quality learning by enabling creators, translators, and downstream product teams to operate efficiently, reliably, and safely.

The Content Platform team owns not only backend services and pipelines, but also large, complex frontend surfaces used daily by content creators, translators, and internal product teams around the world.

As a Platform Engineer, you’ll focus on the foundational infrastructure, tooling, pipelines, and frontend and backend systems that other teams depend on, guided by our Engineering Principles. You might work on projects such as:

• Designing and building complex, stateful frontend applications that power critical authoring, translation, and review workflows at global scale.
• Designing and evolving content pipelines that support authoring, localization, validation, and publishing for millions of learners worldwide.
• Building and maintaining internal platforms, APIs, and services that enable product teams and content creators to move faster with confidence.
