Mystery.org | San Francisco, CA | Remote or On-site
Mystery.org (YC ’17) is on a mission to accelerate human progress! We're creating more problem solvers through inspiring children to love science. This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage company that is improving the world, receives unsolicited “thank you” notes from its users every day for making their lives better, and is already profitable.
We started Mystery.org to create better explanations for every question children have about the world. We began with the 150 most common science questions that children ask teachers. We call this collection Mystery Science. Last year, more than 4 million children used Mystery Science in 50% of U.S. elementary schools. We’re backed by a great group of investors including Y Combinator, Learn Capital, and Reach Capital.
We’re now moving on to all the other questions children have that they’ll never learn in school. In the last 18 months we received over 500,000 questions from children eager for better explanations of the world.  Now we’re creating video explanations for every question.
Our goal is to create a generation of better thinkers. We think this is the most important problem to solve in the world today.
We're hiring engineers, product managers, and designers. Take a look at all of our open positions: <a href="
