College Board Technology Division – Item Cloud Green Team

About the Team:

The Item Cloud team is committed to building and driving innovation for
internal-facing web applications that support College Board’s core
products. Our team consists of 2 small squads, each of which owns a
unique, data-intensive, high-impact, single-page web application that
represent our internal content creation processes. We own the full
stack, from the infrastructure in AWS to the front-end and back-end code
deployed there. We build everything serverless, in the cloud, leveraging
current technologies and novel techniques to be a force-multiplier for
the programs we serve. We are remote, but close-knit. We are strong
advocates of work/life balance and flexibility with schedules when
needed. We often accomplish our work through paired or mob programming.
We are proactive, passionate, and outcome-oriented, putting a premium on
quality and efficiency. We use Agile scrum to manage our work and
deliver value regularly following a DevOps model. The impact of our
efforts as creative problem-solvers and idea-generators leads to
innovations and dramatic improvements in College Board’s biggest
program applications, serving millions of students to help them take
ownership of their future.

programming, training, or pointing developers in the right direction.

• Participate in pair programming and mob programming sessions,
  solving complex problems, and innovating on new ideas
• Ensure the team refactors ugly code to be simple and readable
• Lead conversations on proposed architecture, testing strategies,
  developer experience improvements, security enhancements,
  performance optimization, and fault-tolerance

• Ideally 5-7 years of software development experience in a production
