Full Stack Engineer

College Board – Technology

Type: This is a full-time position

About Technology at College Board

We 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.

About the Team

The Core Assessment Platform is a group of cross-functional teams responsible for building and evolving shared platform capabilities that support assessment-related systems used by institutions at scale. The work spans a range of assessment contexts, from routine evaluation to more complex, high-stakes environments, where accuracy, consistency, and trust are essential. Teams collaborate across engineering, product, design, data, and operations to build reliable capabilities that can be reused and adapted over time. What makes this group special is its focus on continuous learning, experimentation, and steady improvement, with success driven by thoughtful collaboration, iteration, and careful decision-making in environments where reliability and quality matter.

About the Opportunity

As a Full Stack Engineer, this role plays a key part in building and evolving shared platform capabilities within Core Assessment Platforms. Engineers at this level work across the stack to design, implement, and improve systems that must balance experimentation with reliability at scale. You’ll collaborate closely with other engineers and cross-functional partners to make sound technical decisions in complex, often ambiguous problem spaces. The position offers the opportunity to influence architecture, engineering standards, and technical direction while continuing to grow as a builder. Success comes from strong execution, thoughtful tradeoffs, and a willingness to learn and adapt as systems and requirements evolve.

In this role, you will:

Design & Implementation (50%)

  • Deliver transformative software solutions using modern technologies, building component-driven, scalable, secure, and cost-effective systems that elevate our product ecosystem and accelerate innovation.
  • Champion engineering excellence by collaborating closely with product owners, architects, and stakeholders to ensure our systems and services meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
  • Translate new product capabilities into actionable engineering work, breaking down complex ideas into clear, testable, functional components.
  • Drive best-in-class delivery by applying Agile, CI/CD, and DevOps practices to create solutions that are robust, maintainable, and built for continuous improvement.

Team Operations & Success (25%)

  • Lead and contribute to Agile ceremonies, from sprint planning to daily stand-ups, to help your team align, deliver, and continuously improve.
  • Elevate team performance by participating in (and sometimes leading) peer reviews that strengthen code quality, architecture, and engineering rigor.
  • Support production excellence by helping diagnose and resolve issues quickly and effectively.
  • Uphold and evolve engineering standards, ensuring compliance with security and development best practices.
  • Embrace CI/CD culture, continuously refining pipelines and delivery workflows to ship high-quality code with speed and confidence.
  • Invest in your own growth by continually expanding your skills to thrive in a collaborative, poly-skilled Agile environment.

Software Solutioning & Design (25%)

  • Deeply understand customer needs and business processes, ensuring every solution delivers tangible value and aligns with real-world workflows.
  • Collaborate with architects, lead engineers, and data partners to evaluate new features, estimate complexity, and shape sprint plans.
  • Contribute to a culture of thoughtful design and technical excellence by conducting and participating in peer design and code reviews.

About you, you have:

  • 4+ years of production level software development experience managing the entire lifecycle of features, including design, development, documentation, and deployment, with a focus on clear and accurate interfaces and integrations.
  • Proficiency in reviewing and improving code structure and architecture for testability, maintainability, and scalability, with hands-on experience in modern coding frameworks (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js), and AWS Serverless technologies.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, working collaboratively with team members to identify and resolve issues, and partnering with Product Owners to prioritize backlog.
  • Proven ability to pitch new ideas and implement improved systems and processes, delivering excellent results.
  • Effective communicator and team lead, able to provide actionable feedback, mentor team members, and participate in interviews to evaluate engineering talent.
  • Ability to travel 3-5 times a year to our NYC or Reston, VA office.
  • Authorization to work in the United States.

All roles at College Board require:

  • A passion for expanding educational and career opportunities and mission-driven work
  • Authorization to work in the United States for any employer
  • Curiosity and enthusiasm for emerging technologies, with a willingness to experiment with and adopt new AI-driven solutions and a comfort learning and applying new digital tools independently and proactively.
  • Clear and concise communication skills, written and verbal
  • A learner's mindset and a commitment to growth: welcoming diverse perspectives, giving and receiving timely, respectful feedback, and continuously improving through iterative learning and user input.
  • A drive for impact and excellence: solving complex problems, making data-informed decisions, prioritizing what matters most, and continuously improving through learning, user input, and external benchmarking.
  • A collaborative and empathetic approach: working across differences, fostering trust, and contributing to a culture of shared success.

About Our Process

  • Application review will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. This role is expected to accept applications for a minimum of 5 business days.
  • While the hiring process may vary, it generally includes: resume and application submission, recruiter phone/video screen, hiring manager interview, performance exercise, a panel interview, a conversation with leadership and reference checks.
