Senior Engineer College Board – Technology – Cross Program Microservices teamLocation: This is a fully remote role. Candidates who live near CB offices have the option of being fully remote or hybrid (Tuesday and Wednesday in office). About the TeamCollege Board has transformed into an Agile organization, embracing DevOps and Cloud-native systems, with the goal of improving speed and reliability of service delivery in support of our mission. Our team consists of engineers with a unique blend of skills and experiences, yet we underline the value of each individual and celebrate the successes of the TEAM. We build solutions to help reimagine and reshape engineering practices within College Board. We work with Product DevOps, Network Engineering, Security, and Infrastructure teams to design, build and manage robust infrastructure solutions in AWS at scale. We swarm sometimes and we go deep on an individual basis at other times. We learn and we teach. We are creative and value the merit of ideas. The Cross-Program Microservices group is made up of three specialized engineering teams that manage critical educational data used nationwide—spanning systems like AP®/SAT® score recipients and registration platforms. Each sub-team focuses on a specific domain area and is independently staffed—typically seven members, including developers, a technical lead, an architect, QA, and/or an analyst. While each team operates autonomously, they collaborate across service lines to deliver cohesive, high-quality solutions. You’ll join the Multiverse Team, a backend-focused group of seven engineers including an architect, technical lead, developers, and analysts. The team leads a forward-looking initiative to modernize how student data is stored, accessed, and shared across platforms.
