Software Engineer, Secure Client Engineering Full Time NEW

College Board – Technology – Secure Client Engineering Location: This is a fully remote role. Candidates who live near CB offices have the option of being fully remote or hybrid (Tuesday and Wednesday in office) Type: This is a full-time position About the Team Secure Client Engineering is part of Product Security and takes on some of the toughest security challenges in Bluebook, College Board’s digital assessment application. Our team designs and builds the protections that help keep Bluebook secure and resilient across macOS, iPad, Windows, and ChromeOS. We are a small, deeply collaborative group of poly-skilled engineers who solve hard problems together, write production code, and share ownership of both the work and the outcome. Through ensemble programming, also known as mob programming, we bring a hands-on, high-trust approach to engineering that values curiosity, craftsmanship, and continuous learning. About the Opportunity As a Software Engineer on Secure Client Engineering, you will help protect the integrity of Bluebook, the application students rely on for digital assessments across Windows, macOS, iPad, and ChromeOS. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys solving hard technical problems, writing production code, and working at the intersection of software engineering and security. You will collaborate with a small, highly skilled team to design and build resilient client-side protections, tackle unfamiliar challenges with curiosity and confidence, and contribute across the full software development lifecycle. If you are motivated by meaningful mission-driven work, deep technical problems, and the opportunity to shape how secure software is built, this role offers the chance to make a real impact. In this role, you will: Design & Implementation (75%) Collaborate daily with other engineers on the team using mob programming to solve complex technical problems through software engineering. Maintain the highest engineering standards in collaboration across teams with product owners, architects, and stakeholders, in support of our systems and services. Develop deep understanding of the applications within the Digital Assessment Platform to design and implement novel solutions to security challenges in desktop and mobile applications, across Windows, MacOS, iOS, and ChromeOS. Write code for both native and web environments, building component-based, performant, stable, and secure solutions with a focus on lower-level code that interfaces with the native operation system. Understand new product requirements and decompose the implementation into specific functional changes for verification. Team Operations & Success (25%) Participate in continuous improvement of the team’s engineering practices, efficiency, speed, and quality. Participate in conversations and offer opinions on proposed architecture, testing strategies, developer experience, security, performance, and resilience. Conduct and participate in peer code and design reviews. Assist in the resolution of production issues. Adhere to development standards and security policies and procedures. Adopt AI-augmented and agentic software engineering practices for rapidly implementing, testing, and delivering high-quality code based within the team’s collaborative engineering model. Continuously develop the skills required to work in a poly-skilled, and increasingly AI-native, software engineering environment. Experiment with new methods or tools in a post-agile environment to improve the processes of the team. About you, you have: 2+ years of production level software development experience managing the entire lifecycle of features, including design, development, documentation, and deployment. Demonstrated software engineering experience using one or more languages. Strong problem-solving skills, working collaboratively with team members to develop solutions for non-trivial security challenges. Experience in debugging and fixing issues in development, testing,
