Educational QA Specialist — United States

CURRICULUM QA SPECIALIST

rYmkV2p | Remote | Part-Time Contract | Reports to Director of Curriculum Development

About the roleNovoDia builds custom K-12 curriculum for school districts using our AI content generation platform. Every lesson is reviewed and corrected by a human before it reaches a classroom. The Curriculum QA Specialist is that human.

You will work inside our production platform on lessons that a Subject Matter Expert has already signed off. You find what is wrong, fix it yourself, and move the lesson to final approval. The measure of your work is a lesson that is ready to teach, not a list of what you noticed. Most of what you fix has no answer waiting for you. Reviewers who do well here produce the fix themselves.

We are hiring now to support a high-volume delivery push through February, with continued work likely for reviewers who perform well.

What you will do• Review every assigned lesson activity by activity: answer keys, content accuracy, images, audio, titles, and formatting

• Confirm each answer is correct and that no second option is defensible, by working the question yourself and checking it against the lesson's own key terms and content

• Fix errors directly in the platform, including rewriting text, and move each lesson to final approval

• Carry every fix into each variant of the activity

• Request missing or incorrect images through our image request workflow, naming the activity, the slide, and a description for each image

• Create structured bug tickets for platform-level issues that only a developer can fix

• Decide what must be fixed before a lesson ships and what can wait, using one test: can a student complete and understand the activity

• Keep your lesson queue status accurate as you work, track time per lesson, and raise a recurring error once as a pattern instead of lesson by lesson

What your first month looks like• Structured onboarding in your first week, with direct support from the curriculum team

• Your lessons go through final approval before they publish. Anything you missed comes back to you with direction, and in the first month this happens often.

• When a miss comes back, we expect you to work out how it got past you and change your method that day, so it does not repeat on the next lesson

• We hold a house standard for what blocks a lesson. You will learn it and apply it, including where it differs from your own preference.

• Each lesson has a time target, and queue is steady, and real students depend on the speed and accuracy of the QA process.

What successful reviewers have in common• They read for whether the content is right, not only whether it is clean. They check an answer against the key terms, do the math, and notice when an instruction cannot work as written.

• They run the same ordered pass on every lesson and every variant, usually from a checklist

• They produce the fix. Faced with a problem that has no supplied answer, they write the shorter text, the missing title, or the image request, and then check that it is right.

• They hold one rule for what blocks a lesson and can explain any call in terms of what the student will experience

• When shown something they missed, they neither argue nor simply agree. They name what in their method let it through and what they will change.

• They say plainly what they could not verify

• They are fluent in complex web software and pick up new tools quickly

• They keep their queue current, flag real blockers early, and respond to messages within a business day

What you bring• Experience reviewing, editing, or writing K-12 instructional or assessment content (curriculum, edtech, assessment, or publishing). Writing or scoring assessment items is a plus.

• The habit of verifying what you do not already know before you approve it. You do not need to be an expert in every subject. You do need to work the problem, check the source, or look it up.

• Comfort editing directly in browser-based authoring tools and Airtable, or the ability to learn them quickly

• Comfort using AI tools to draft a fix, such as shortening text, and the judgment to check the result yourself

• Clear, concise written communication

• A consistent weekly schedule you can keep, and the ability to take on more hours during production pushes

• Real enjoyment of close, repetitive detail work

How we hireEach step is a sample of the actual work.

• Short application. It includes one question: describe an error you caught in someone else's instructional content that was not a typo, how you found it, and what you changed.

• Recorded video screen. A few questions about how you review.

• Practical. You review a sample lesson in our platform and write the corrected text. Tell us which tools you used, including AI.

• Interview with the Director of Curriculum Development. We go through your practical together: what you caught, what you missed, and how you would fix it.

We make decisions within 2 business days of the interview.
