About the role...

The Duolingo English Test (DET) is a high-stakes assessment used by institutions around the world. Its integrity depends on proctors making accurate, consistent, and defensible decisions — even when sessions present ambiguous evidence or new forms of cheating. As the Proctor Quality and Learning Manager (L3) in Scaling Operations, you will own the end-to-end quality standard and learning system that keep our global proctor network aligned and effective as security threats, technology, and workflows evolve. You’ll define what “correct” looks like, run our calibration and adjudication program, and build ongoing training that measurably improves decision quality. You will partner with Psychometrics, Security, Operations, Product, and Engineering to ensure our human and AI-assisted workflows meet rigorous accuracy standards before and after deployment. This is an individual-contributor role within DET Proctoring Operations, with functional leadership over Training Specialists and adjudicators executing the program.

🧠 You will...

Own the DET proctoring quality standard — maintain rubrics, decision rules, examples, and guidance that define accurate decisions across routine and difficult edge cases.

Lead calibration and adjudication — operate recurring Proctor Certification Test cycles, resolve disputed decisions, identify patterns of disagreement, and ensure outcomes are consistent and auditable.

Build and run an ongoing learning program — publish a forward-looking training calendar, deliver monthly interventions, and launch targeted training in response to quality signals, threats, or workflow changes.

Measure effectiveness — use calibration results, audits, and performance trends to identify learning needs, evaluate training impact, and decide when to clarify standards, retrain, or update guidance.
