NWEA | Learning & Assessment Engineer | Full Time | Remote or Portland, OR (US only)
NWEA is a research-based educational not-for-profit that creates assessments and performs educational research. We’re hiring a senior individual contributor to join our Learning & Assessment Engineering team. The team is charged with building computational models to help assessments be more efficient and useful for both teaching and research. The ideal candidate would have:
- some experience using Stan/Jags/PyMC/Tensorflow Probability or another probabilistic programming language. We’ll be applying custom statistical models to understand learning, test-taking behavior, and create more informative reporting.
- a conceptual understanding of constrained optimization
- some experience with software engineering workflows and tools (e.g. using version control, SQL, etc)
- fluency in Python and willingness to become familiar with an existing code base
This is a great role for a technical post-doc looking for a job in industry, or an experienced data scientist looking to apply their skills in a new way. No experience in educational assessment is necessary.
This position has excellent benefits and is fully remote.
