We are looking for a Senior Lead Software Engineer to fill a position that offers all of the above plus the chance to do something truly meaningful—build software that is improving education for literally millions of students—in a company culture grounded in mutual respect.

Our partner creates software and services that transform education. We are building a SaaS platform with The College Board that is an integral part of the educational experience for more than three million AP and Pre-AP students worldwide: a digital assessment platform that deepens student engagement, while enhancing the instruction teachers are delivering. We're a small company making a big difference, and we're proud of our contribution to advancing remote and in-person learning.

We're looking for a talented Senior DevOps Engineering Lead who has the experience and sound engineering principles to lead initiatives to evolve our cloud-based architecture, and be an individual contributor who has hands-on experience with building, deploying, orchestrating, and managing cloud-native solutions. An ideal candidate will have experience with several of the following: automated CI/CD, observability, SecOps and compliance, Iac and AWS cloud-based provisioning. This role will collaborate directly with our CTO and VP of Engineering to drive technical strategic initiatives, improve developer experience, and help advance the maturity of our platform.
