Learning Equality | Python & Full-Stack web developers | San Diego | ONSITE (preferred) or REMOTE | Full-time
We’re a cross-disciplinary team who believe in the transformative power of access to education. Our software is open-source, our organization is a non-profit, and our primary beneficiaries are in underserved communities such as rural schools, community centers, and refugee camps all over the world [1].
We are looking for Full Stack engineers to support the development of two open-source, Python- and Javascript-based applications:
- Kolibri [2], our web app which is designed for use in low-resource and low-connectivity contexts. Kolibri is available in dozens of languages, and specially designed to provide access to curated and openly licensed educational content and powerful tools for pedagogical support.
- Kolibri Studio, our cloud-based app which gives users full control over the organization of their educational materials. Using this content curation system, anyone can explore pre-organized libraries of open educational resources, and bundle, tag, differentiate, re-order, and distribute their contents offline as custom channels to Kolibri.
If you care about education and you know your Python and JS, we want to talk to you! Apply at https://grnh.se/dd40b1ab1
We’re a small nonprofit committed to bringing the online education revolution to the 60% of the world without Internet. We started 3 years ago with KA Lite (https://learningequality.org/ka-lite/), an offline-installable platform bundling Khan Academy content and our own student tracking tools in an easy to install bundle. KA Lite has already reached over 2.1 million learners in 160+ countries.
We’re now starting to work on our next-gen offline ed-tech platform, Kolibri (https://learningequality.org/kolibri/), which aims to incorporate not only a wider set of content from partners, with alignment to local standards, but also allow anyone to create their own videos and exercises to meet the needs of their local context.
Positions

Full-stack Web Developer -- You will need to have some experience doing full-stack web development -- the specific stack we use is Javascript, Backbone.js, jQuery, HTML, CSS/LESS , Python and Django. We’re designing Kolibri as a small core app with the majority of user-facing features implemented as plugins. As an initial project, you’ll be working on creating a plugin that ports one of KA Lite’s features into Kolibri.
Executive Assistant/Office Manager -- You will have two roles - As “Executive Assistant”, you will be responsible for supporting core team members with communications, planning, drafting, and research. As “Office Manager”, you’ll be responsible for making sure the office runs smoothly, including handling mail, ordering supplies, organizing events and so forth. This is a combined role, with the exact job title and focus areas negotiable based on skills and interests.
