College Board is a mission-driven, not-for-profit organization working to clear a path for all students to own their futures. We are expanding our impact beyond access to higher education - helping students develop the skills, experiences, and confidence they need to thrive in college, career, and life. Each year, we serve more than 7 million students, building opportunity at scale in a rapidly changing world. We are launching a new exploratory effort to design and scale innovative ways for students to build durable skills - the collaboration, problem-solving, and communication abilities that employers value and that students carry with them for life. Our team is in an exciting build phase - shaping the technology, people, and processes that will bring this program to life. We\'re assembling a cross-functional group of designers, engineers, product managers, and researchers who thrive on solving meaningful problems. Together, we\'re building tools that:

• Help teachers guide students through real-world, employer-driven projects
• Enable students to practice and strengthen durable, transferable skills while building professional connections
• Make it easier for employers to engage with future talent and invest in their communities

This work sits at the intersection of education and the workforce - translating our mission into experiences that prepare every student to succeed in whatever path they choose. You\'ll be part of a team creating something new: a program that brings the world of work into schools and helps students develop the skills that last a lifetime.

In this role, you\'ll lead the charge in building a national-scale platform that empowers students to engage with real employer challenges and develop career-defining skills. Working alongside a Product Manager and Product Designer, you\'ll architect and build cutting-edge software that supports educators, engages business partners, and scales to tens of thousands of students. You\'ll shape technical strategy, define high-quality engineering practices, and steer how our technology evolves. You\'ll also anchor agile operations, lead peer reviews, resolve production issues, and ensure our system is robust, secure, and efficient. If you\'re excited by building foundational systems that will impact learners and partners across the country, this is a high-stakes opportunity to drive real change.
