Type: This is a full-time position About the Team Enterprise Security Engineering (ESE) is the security team responsible for building and operating the foundational security platforms and controls that protect College Board’s enterprise environment.

ESE is both an engineering team and a standards-setting function. The team designs, builds, and operates the controls that protect College Board’s workforce, data, and systems, and it owns the enterprise security standards that operationalize information security policies across the organization.
