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 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

• Bluebook   – the student-facing desktop application used to take digital exams

• 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:

• Monitor student progress in real time

• Detect and investigate anomalies

• Troubleshoot student issues on test day

This work directly   impacts   test integrity, educator confidence, and student outcomes.
