College Board - Technology 

Location: This is a remote role. Candidates who live near CB offices have the option of being fully remote or hybrid (Tuesday and Wednesday in office). All CB employees are required to occasionally travel to meet in person for business purposes.

About the Team  

The Content Engineering team sits within a multidisciplinary technology team that integrates design, content, and engineering to deliver consistent, scalable user experiences. We support structured content models, authoring ecosystems, metadata standards, and content workflows that power College Board’s digital products and websites. 

Our team partners with platform product leadership and serves a broad community of content creators working in DITA, Drupal, HTML-based structured content, and assessment and item-authoring systems. We aim to unify practices, strengthen the discipline, and support content systems that are robust, maintainable, and flexible for the future. 

About the Opportunity   

As a Senior Content Engineer, you’ll help define and implement the structured content strategy for the Authentic Work Platform — a complex, evolving digital environment that serves both students and professionals. You’ll work across systems like Drupal and XDocs to design content models, metadata, and authoring frameworks that enable reuse, editorial efficiency, and scalable content delivery. 

As a key member of a cross-functional team, you’ll collaborate with engineers, designers, and product teams to connect structured content with user-facing features, support decoupled rendering, and drive consistency across print and digital experiences. You’ll apply systems thinking to content — designing models, taxonomies, and workflows that are structured, scalable, and sustainable. This role calls for a strategic architect’s mindset: shaping how content flows across platforms to support technical integration and a cohesive, user-centered experience. 

In this role, you will:  

• (35%) Design and document structured content models and metadata frameworks that support scalable content creation, reuse, and maintainability — enabling delivery of new features while improving author workflows and editorial governance. 

• (30%) Provide technical leadership to engineering partners by guiding how structured content is consumed, rendered, and scaled across new UIs — including coaching team members on content APIs, prototyping solutions, and aligning content with front-end needs. 

• (20%) Lead efforts to integrate content consistently across print and digital workflows, improving how complex content is modeled, tagged, and delivered to ensure a unified user experience. 

• (15%) Contribute to the long-term content architecture strategy for the Authentic Work Platform, applying systems thinking and collaborating across disciplines to align content infrastructure with product and user goals. 

About You

• 4–6 years of experience designing structured content or data models and workflows for digital products 

• Expertise in structured content systems such as XML/DITA, with experience in production-scale, user-facing environments
