About the Team
The GenAI Studio is an internal incubator at College Board that launched
in January 2024. Through the studio, College Board is investing time and
resources for AI ideation. 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 tech ology,
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 documentationskills
