Job description

Outsmart is a mission-driven, early-stage startup reimagining higher education for the age of AI by creating an entirely new collegiate experience that expands access and opportunity. Backed by $38M from top venture firms including Khosla Ventures, Forerunner, DST Global Partners, and Lightspeed, the company is led by former Duolingo executives and a founding team that also includes Emmy Award winners. With a strong culture centered around high-impact, detail-oriented team members, Outsmart is already seeing significant traction, generating 1-5 million weekly organic views on social media.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll manage the full assessment development lifecycle at Outsmart - from item authoring through field testing, standard setting, scoring, and reporting. You'll work closely with psychometricians, faculty, product managers, and engineers to build rigorous, scalable assessments. As an AI-forward organization, you'll also help shape how AI tools are responsibly woven into our development and QA workflows.
Who You Are
  • Master's degree (Ph.D. preferred) in educational measurement, assessment , or a related field
  • 3+ years managing operational, high-stakes assessment lifecycles end-to-end
  • Proven experience leading standard-setting studies and managing diverse SME panels
  • Experience managing external vendors for field tests and pilot studies
  • Working knowledge of validity, reliability, and fairness standards (e.g., AERA/APA/NCME)
  • Familiarity with cognitive complexity frameworks (DOK, Bloom's)
  • Strong communicator who can translate psychometric concepts for non-technical audiences
  • Bonus: knowledge of CTT, IRT, CDM, DIF,, AI-assisted item generation, or accreditation reviews

What You'll Own
  • End-to-end assessment development operations for assigned assessments
  • SME network - recruitment, training, calibration, and quality
  • Standard-setting studies - method selection, panel facilitation, and final reporting
  • Vendor and external partner relationships, SLAs, and security protocols
  • Field testing and pilot operations
  • Scoring operations for constructed-response and performance-based assessments
  • Project timelines, risk identification, and stakeholder communication
  • Core assessment documentation - specs, blueprints, training materials, technical reports

What Helps You Succeed
  • You thrive in ambiguity and are energized by building from scratch
  • You balance psychometric rigor with startup pragmatism - you know when to ship and iterate
  • You communicate with unusual clarity across technical and non-technical audiences
  • You take ownership without being asked and surface risks early
  • You're excited about AI's role in assessment and know where validation is non-negotiable
  • You care deeply about fairness and the learners behind every score

Salary Range: $120K-$180K
Perks
  • Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
  • Healthcare for you and your dependents (medical, dental, and vision)
  • Parental leave for any full-time employee (birthing, non-birthing, and adoptive parents)
  • 15 PTO days per year, a winter break, and 12+ paid company holidays per year
  • Remote work days
  • Lunch provided in-office daily
  • Working with super talented people who want to make a difference in the world
