Thanks! We are fortunate to have good name recognition. One thing we've noticed is that a lot of folks don't know that we're a non-profit, so we try to make that point as much as we can. Edit to add: speaking for myself and my perception of my coworkers... We just feel amazingly fortunate to have the opportunity to work toward our mission.

Are there positions for software engineer interns? I have been looking all the time and I keep missing the recruitment window. My academic life would be so painful without khanacademy and it'd be great to contribute to this.

I'm happy to hear that you've found us helpful in your academic life!

We don't have internship openings right now. We generally do those interviews in the fall (for the following summer).

> we're a non-profit Does that mean all your financials are public? Where can we find the full reports?

> design (real, with artists)

I would never, ever, EVER want to be the frontend developer tasked with building out a design created by a "real" artist. You're not exactly making your job sound very appealing...

I know public service roles are salary capped, but it's distressing to me that the CIO of the FBI will be making only "$131,239 to $192,180" which is less than even a medium-sized tech company executive would make. This person would be the front line of security defense for our top law enforcement agency and the enemies of that agency have billions of dollars of funding. It just seems like we should be paying for the talent we actually need at that level.

You don't go there for the money, nobody does. You work hard for a few years,make connections, get experience and jump ship to private sector that'll compensate for all those years of underpayment.
