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 a 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.
The 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. The team focuses on delivering high-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:
Mission Control – a large-scale, AWS-based backend that supports authentication, test delivery, telemetry, resilience, and security
Test & Results Packaging – systems that ingest, digitize, secure, package, and deliver test content to students through the Bluebook client
Together, these systems must operate with extreme reliability, security, and performance at national scale. 
We also build the tools educators rely on during live testing, a new product consisting of desktop and mobile experiences that allow proctors to:
This work directly impacts test integrity, educator confidence, and student outcomes.
As a Lead Mobile Engineer, you will own and drive the architecture, design, and delivery of native mobile applications across iOS and Android. You will lead the development of scalable, secure, and high-performance solutions, setting engineering standards and 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 at scale. As part of this mission, we are building next-generation proctoring applications for high-stakes exams that operate reliably across a wide range of devices and operating systems. Working within the Information Technology division and in partnership with product, security, and operations teams, the Lead Mobile Engineer will define and implement solutions that ensure performance, reliability, and integrity of test delivery.
This role requires deep expertise in native mobile development (Swift for iOS and Kotlin/Android SDK), along with experience integrating with OS-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, including ChromeOS, macOS, and Windows ecosystems where applicable.
The ideal candidate has experience building cloud-connected mobile applications, and is comfortable working with serverless and event-driven architectures. You will drive the adoption of modular, scalable mobile architecture patterns, guide teams in implementing robust client–cloud integrations, and promote engineering excellence through CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and modern DevOps practices.
Design and Development (60%)
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.
While the hiring process may vary, it generally includes: resume and application submission, recruiter phone/video screen, hiring manager interview, performance exercise such as live coding, a panel interview, a conversation with leadership and reference checks.
At College Board, we offer more than a paycheck- we provide a meaningful career, a supportive team, and a comprehensive package designed to help you thrive. We’re a self-sustaining nonprofit that believes in fair and competitive compensation grounded in your qualifications, experience, impact, and the market.
A Thoughtful Approach to Compensation
