Khan Academy

Mountain View, CA - full-time and intern, designers and devs

We're a non-profit whose mission is to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're scaling quickly. Our students answer over 2 million math problems per day (over 950mm total so far), all generated by our open source exercise generation framework (https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises), and our videos (now from a variety of authors including Sal) have been viewed over 220mm times. We're tracking all that data and using it to customize each student's experience as well as building brand-new tools like our new programming environment (http://ejohn.org/blog/introducing-khan-cs/).

We could use your help. Working for Khan Academy is one of the highest educational impact positions you can imagine, and we've been called by Wired one of the best places to work in Silicon Valley: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4157078.

We're hiring designers and all types of devs -- mobile, frontend, backend, data scientist, whatever you want to call yourself.

Big plans ahead.

New York, NY -- IT consultant for managed services provider

We're a fast-growing company providing IT consulting and helpdesk services for small businesses in the NYC and north NJ area. It's a "level 3" engineer job- you'd be taking escalations from the 1st and 2nd tier techs when they weren't able to solve problems themselves; mentoring them on skills they should know; advising clients on the best ways to improve their infrastructure, and implementing solutions to some fun projects (getting those 8 dusty old DL 320's out of someone's rack and onto their very first VMware deployment!)

The right candidate will need 3+ years of experience in a helpdesk or service delivery environment; proven skills with Windows servers from 03-08, including Active Directory, Exchange, DNS, DFS, WDS would be cool.. and experience with multiple server environments. Know what a firewall is too- Sonicwall experience would be great!

Be a good communicator, superior troubleshooter, able to work under pressure, and really want to be part of a team.

I'd love to talk to you more about it if you're interested! Send your resume to ndespres@cmitsolutions.com and let's chat.
