About The Position

College Board is a mission-driven engineering team focused on building and evolving technology that powers and protects the future of learning. Their systems support highly trusted education programs used by millions of students annually, operating at significant scale and public responsibility. The team is currently designing and delivering a critical new initiative, blending foundational system work with thoughtful experimentation and adapting to emerging technologies and new learner needs. They combine modern, cloud-native engineering practices with platform modernization, security hardening, and large-scale digital delivery, operating as an experiment factory. This role offers a unique combination of meaningful public impact, platform-scale technical challenges, and the freedom to shape mission-critical systems. The Deliver team specifically builds and operates core products for high-stakes digital assessments, including the SAT and AP exams. This involves supporting the end-to-end student testing experience through Bluebook (student-facing desktop app), Mission Control (AWS-based backend for authentication, test delivery, telemetry, resilience, and security), and Test & Results Packaging (systems for ingesting, digitizing, securing, packaging, and delivering test content). These systems demand extreme reliability, security, and performance at a national scale. Additionally, the team develops new desktop and mobile tools for educators to monitor student progress, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot issues during live testing, directly impacting test integrity and student outcomes. As a Senior Mobile Engineer, you will be instrumental in building and delivering hybrid (web and native) mobile applications for both iOS and Android, ensuring secure and high-quality digital assessment experiences. You will develop scalable, performant, and reliable solutions, contributing to design, implementation, testing, and technical documentation, while collaborating with cross-functional teams. This role requires strong expertise in native mobile development (Swift for iOS and Kotlin/Android SDK) and experience integrating with OS-level and device capabilities. You will build applications that perform consistently across various environments, including ChromeOS, macOS, and Windows where applicable. The ideal candidate has experience with cloud-connected mobile applications, serverless, and event-driven architectures, contributing to modular, scalable systems, and supporting delivery through CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and modern DevOps practices.

• Familiarity with desktop platforms (macOS, Windows, ChromeOS) and cross-environment behavior
• Familiarity with building cloud-connected mobile applications on popular platforms such as AWS, GCP and Azure
• Experience with deploying mobile applications in Apple AppStore, Google Play store
• Experience working with infrastructure as code
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring (logs, metrics, alerts) for production systems
• Experience with React, TypeScript, or modern web technologies, particularly in support of cross-platform or hybrid applications
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments with strong collaboration skills
• Strong problem-solving ability, curiosity, and willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies
