About the role

  • College Board's Enterprise Security Engineering (ESE) team currently consists of 6 full-time staff and additional contractors.
  • We protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and endpoints across physical and cloud environments.

Responsibilities

  • Lead risk-based security reviews of technology implementations across domains - including cloud architecture, application security, vendor/third-party integrations, identity and access, and emerging technologies such as GenAI and agentic AI systems - assessing architectures, data flows, data classification handling, and misuse scenarios.
  • Define and maintain secure-by-default standards, patterns, and reference guidance that reduce review friction and enable delivery teams to meet expectations on the first pass.
  • Serve as a primary security/risk partner to organization-level teams and governance bodies - including teams driving responsible AI use, such as GenAI Studio and the GenAI Governance Committee, as well as platform, procurement, and legal stakeholders - establishing recurring consultation touchpoints and pre-procurement engagement.
  • We enable our developers and colleagues to deliver new, secure digital offerings that include the Digital SAT and AP exams.
  • This role exists to build and lead that practice.
  • You will contribute to the strategic direction of the risk engineering program - identifying risks and opportunities that influence roadmap decisions - while remaining hands-on in reviews, threat modeling, and control design.
  • Strong stakeholder skills - building relationships with product, platform, legal, procurement, and governance partners, and presenting risk tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • At College Board, we offer more than just a paycheck-we provide a meaningful career, a supportive team, and a comprehensive package designed to help you thrive.

Requirements

  • Experience running or contributing to risk-based security reviews of technology implementations, including assessing architecture, data flows, and misuse scenarios; exposure to AI/GenAI or agentic systems is a plus but not required.

Skills

  • ESE is responsible for implementing and managing cutting-edge security solutions and tools.

Compensation

  • The hiring range for this role is $168,000 - $183,000
  • Your exact salary will depend on your location, experience, and how your background compares to others in similar roles at the College Board.

Benefits

  • A passion for expanding educational and career opportunities and mission-driven work
  • Curiosity and enthusiasm for emerging technologies, with a willingness to experiment with and adopt new AI-driven solutions and a comfort learning and applying new digital tools independently and proactively

Company info

  • We protect workloads and data in AWS and Azure, corporate networks, user endpoints around the country and data in SaaS and PaaS environments.
  • The work we perform supports the College Board's mission to connect students to college success and opportunity.
  • College Board is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all team members feel valued, respected, and supported in their work.
  • We welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences to join our team and contribute to our ongoing success.
  • About the Opportunity
  • As a Lead Risk Engineer, you will provide technical leadership for how College Board identifies, reviews, and manages risk across its technology systems.
  • College Board's technology footprint spans cloud infrastructure, vendor and API integrations, identity and access for automated systems, and an expanding set of AI and agentic capabilities - and the organization needs a consistent, repeatable practice for assessing risk across all of it, not AI alone.
  • You will work within an existing security engineering team and across the Technology division to run risk reviews of new and existing systems, define controls and identity practices for automated and machine-driven access (including AI agents and non-human identities where relevant), and partner with stakeholders across the organization to bring security into decisions early.
  • You will not only execute this work - you will shape the standards, patterns, and practices that let others execute it consistently, and you will lift the engineers around you through mentoring, paired reviews, and shared knowledge rather than becoming a single point of expertise.
