AboutâŻTechnology 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,âŻoperatingâŻatâŻa significantâŻscale and public responsibility. Today, we are focused on designing and delivering a critical new initiative that extends our platform in meaningful ways:âŻblending 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,âŻoperatingâŻas 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 Deliver teamis responsible forbuilding andoperatingthe core products that deliver high-stakes digital assessmentsto millions of students each year. Today, this includes supporting flagship programs such as theSATandAP exams,while advancing the technology that enables secure, reliable, and scalable test delivery across a wide range of devices and environments.The team focuses on deliveringhigh-integrity proctoring and assessment experiences,ensuring performance, security, and consistency for students and educators at scale.
Our responsibilities span two primary domains:
We own the end-to-end student testing experience, including:
Bluebookâ the student-facing desktop application used to take digital exams
Mission Controlâ a large-scale, AWS-based backend that supports authentication, test delivery, telemetry, resilience, and security
Test & Results Packagingâ systems that ingest, digitize, secure, package, and deliver test content to students through the Bluebook client
Together, these systems mustoperatewithextreme reliability, security, and performanceatnationalscale. 
Wealsobuild the tools educators rely on during live testing, a new product consisting of desktop and mobile experiences that allow proctors to:
Monitor student progress in real time
Detect and investigate anomalies
Troubleshoot student issues on test day
This work directlyimpactstest integrity, educator confidence, and student outcomes.
About the Opportunity:
As aLead Mobile Engineer, you willown and drive the architecture, design, and delivery of native mobile applicationsacross iOS and Android. You will lead the development of scalable, secure, and high-performance solutions, setting engineeringstandardsand guiding technical direction for mobile platforms.
The College Board, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing excellence and equity in education, delivers digital assessment experiences atscale. As part of this mission, we are building next-generationproctoring applications for high-stakes examsthatoperatereliably across a wide range of devices and operating systems. Working within the Information Technology division and in partnership with product, security, and operations teams, theLead Mobile Engineerwill define and implement solutions that ensure performance, reliability, and integrity of test delivery.
This role requires deepexpertiseinnative mobile development (Swift for iOS and Kotlin/Android SDK), along with experience integrating withOS-level and device capabilities(e.g., permissions, networking, device controls). You will lead the design of solutions that ensure consistent, secure behavior across diverse environments, includingChromeOS, macOS, and Windows ecosystemswhere applicable.
The ideal candidate has experience buildingcloud-connected mobileapplications, andis comfortable working withserverless and event-driven architectures. You will drive the adoption ofmodular, scalable mobile architecture patterns, guide teams in implementing robust clientâcloud integrations, and promote engineering excellence throughCI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and modern DevOps practices.
In this role, youwill:
Design and Development (60%)
Own and drive the architecture ofnative mobile applications (iOS and Android), defining modular boundaries,componentstrategies, and platform patternsÂ
Design and deliver scalable, secure solutionsleveragingnative mobile capabilities and cloud-native architectures on popular platforms such asAWS, GCPandAzure
Lead the integration ofOS-level and device capabilities(e.g., permissions, networking, device controls) to enable secure, consistent behavior across environmentsÂ
Translate ambiguous requirements into clear technical direction, guiding teams from concept through productionÂ
