About the Team

The Workforce Tools & Integration team builds solutions to help reimagine and reshape engineering practices within College Board to best meet the needs of the millions of students and thousands of colleges, schools, and districts we serve. We support our entire organization that has transformed to Agile, embracing DevOps and Cloud-native systems, with the goal of improving speed and reliability of service delivery in support of our mission. We work with Product DevOps, Network Engineering, Security, and Infrastructure teams to design, build and manage robust workforce solutions.

You understand cloud software delivery and the tools and processes that empower efficient and resilient delivery that adheres to top-notch development practices. You thrive in an environment with a strong mix of creativity and productivity. The greater the complexity you face, the greater initiative and leadership you assume while exercising your influence to get things done across the organization. You will rely on these traits as you communicate with customers and our internal teams to understand their challenges and needs, then create, sustain, deliver, and articulate complex solutions. You will serve as a mentor to the team, bringing them up to speed and enabling all to make healthy contributions. You will carry the voice of the customer to leadership and engineers, helping to bridge the gap between ideas, solutions, and delivery. You will use your inquisitive nature and learning agility to continually seek out useful information that can shape products for the good of the user. You will build strong, productive relationships while guiding, leading, and nurturing your team and stakeholders to produce tremendous value for our customers.
