Senior Mobile Engineer, Deliver

Our responsibilities span two primary domains:

We own the end-to-end student testing experience, including:

• Bluebook– the student-facing desktop application used to take digital exams

• Mission Control– a large-scale, AWS-based backend that supports authentication, test delivery, telemetry, resilience, and security

• Test & Results Packaging– systems that ingest, digitize, secure, package, and deliver test content to students through the Bluebook client

Together, these systems mustoperatewithextreme reliability, security, and performanceatnationalscale. Wealsobuild the tools educators rely on during live testing, a new product consisting of desktop and mobile experiences that allow proctors to:

• Monitor student progress in real time

• Detect and investigate anomalies

• Troubleshoot student issues on test day

This work directlyimpactstest integrity, educator confidence, and student outcomes.
