The studio is responsibly experimenting with AI in AP classrooms and creating strategic partnerships to make informed decisions about AI in our broader portfolio of offerings. The studio is led by a diverse, cross-functional team of strategists, technologists, and managers at College Board committed to solving the most impactful and interesting problems arising with AI. Across the team we divide the work around strategic enablement within our organization, AI innovations that are both internally and externally facing, and advancing AI Literacy in the education space. 

 

About the Opportunity  

As a Lead Full Stack Engineer on the Generative AI Studio, you are a leader, collaborator, and innovator. You will work daily with our Data Scientist, UX Designer, and Product Manager. You have a strong interest in understanding our stakeholders and leveraging new technologies to support them. You relish the opportunity to bring new ideas and your love of software to prototype new products, establish new patterns, and serve as a SME for working with Generative AI. You are not shy about taking on new work you may not have done before while owning all phases of prototyping including requirements definition and analysis, application design, coding, reviewing, testing, deploying, and support. You are eager to lead by example as well as more formally through peer collaboration, coaching and mentoring. 

 

In this role, you will:   

Prototyping and Development (60%)   

  • Design and implement proofs of concept or prototypes to allow rapid testing of innovative concepts using the latest technologies, typically React web apps 
  • Create sharable documentation, both technical and non-technical 
  • Exercise discretion in prototyping: investing time to make sure the most important things work well, and working with the team to mock or minimize less important features 
  • When prototypes are greenlit for further development: continue that work, or support hand-off to other internal teams 
  • Maintain clean code and strong engineering standards such that when prototypes are greenlit for further development, the project is easy to build upon 
  • Occasionally embed with other engineering teams that take up on-going work on a prototype 
  • Continuously develop the skills required to work with this rapidly developing technology 

 

Strategic Enablement (30%)   

  • Serve as an organizational Subject Matter Expert on implementing Generative AI applications 
  • Work with our Enterprise Architecture team to review and/or establish implementation patterns involving Generative AI tools 
  • Advise on, and where feasible, create tools and infrastructure that will enable teams to safely deploy Generative AI tools 
  • Depending on organizational priority, this may include setting up an internal GenAI chatbot tool with the support of other engineers 

 

Learning and Sharing (10%) 

  • Keep abreast of developments in GenAI capabilities and implementations 
  • Share knowledge of new developments with the team via chats, meetings, and presentations when appropriate 
  • Serve as an advisor to internal teams developing staff education around Generative AI 

 

About You 

You are a self-starter who can manage all aspects of software prototyping. You enjoy a fast-paced, highly-collaborative environment. You are energized by working closely with product, design, and research colleagues. You have a passion for experimenting with new technology, and especially AI. 

 

You have: 

  • 7+ years of professional experience designing, building, testing, and managing scalable web-based applications within a cloud-hosted environment 
  • 3+ years’ experience implementing applications using JavaScript frameworks, primarily with React 
  • Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with back-end technologies Node.JS, and/or Python 
  • Expertise in developing responsive UIs using JavaScript, CSS, HTML  
  • Experience in asynchronous programming and event-driven messaging patterns 
  • Strong knowledge of the AWS cloud platform and experience working with AWS resources such as Lambda, SNS, SQS, S3, Step Functions, IAM, KMS, API Gateway, CloudWatch, DynamoDB 
  • Experience provisioning and managing Cloud infrastructure as code using AWS CLI, AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), and/or TerraForm 
  • Proven track record of training and coaching less experienced teammates in new technologies 
  • Strong analytical thinking, structured problem-solving and practical decision-making skills 
  • Ability and enthusiasm to learn new technologies  
  • Effective communication and documentation skills 

 

Additional nice-to-have’s: 

  • Experience working in an Agile/Scrum and iterative development environment 
  • Demonstrated experience using Typescript  
  • Experience with React.js a plus 
  • Experience implementing generative AI applications such as RAG chat bots, model fine tuning, or other LLM applications a plus 
  • Experience with database technologies (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, Redshift, and/or DynamoDB) 

 

About Our Culture 

  • We are motivated to positively impact the educational and career trajectories of millions of students a year 
  • We prioritize building a diverse and inclusive team where every employee can thrive, and every voice is heard 
  • We value learning and growth; we offer formal and informal ways to lead through your superpowers, sharpen your strengths, and meet your development goals 
  • Our high-performing engineers work with the latest technologies, so you will be constantly learning and sharpening your skills
