Candidates who live near CB offices have the option of being fully remote or hybrid (Tuesday and Wednesday in office). All CB employees are required to occasionally travel to meet in person for business purposes.\nRole Type: This is a full-time position.\nAbout Technology at College Board:\nWe are a mission-driven engineering team building and evolving the technology that powers and protects the future of learning. Our systems support highly trusted education programs used by millions of students each year, operating at significant scale and public responsibility. Today, we are focused on designing and delivering a critical new initiative that extends our platform in meaningful ways: blending foundational system work with thoughtful experimentation as we adapt to emerging technologies and new learner needs. We combine modern, cloud-native engineering practices with years of platform modernization, security hardening, and large-scale digital delivery, operating as an experiment factory that tests assumptions and iterates based on evidence rather than tradition. What makes this team distinct is the rare combination of meaningful public impact, platform-scale technical challenges, and the freedom to shape how mission-critical systems are built and evolved.\nAbout the Team\nThe Deliver team is responsible for building and operating the core products that deliver high-stakes digital assessments to millions of students each year. Today, this includes supporting flagship programs such as the SAT and AP exams, while advancing the technology that enables secure, reliable, and scalable test delivery across a wide range of devices and environments.
