A course can have the right facts and still fail to teach anyone anything. That gap — between information and actual learning — is where this job lives. We're hiring an
Online Instructional Content Developer to build course material that people finish, remember, and can put to use afterward. Fully remote.
The Short Version
You'll take raw subject matter and turn it into structured, engaging online course content. Some of it is writing. Some of it is deciding when a video works better than a paragraph, or when an interactive exercise beats another slide of bullet points. You're not just formatting existing material — you're figuring out how a concept actually gets across to someone who's never seen it before.
What You'd Be Doing
- Turn subject matter into course content that reads clearly across whatever platform it lands on
- Decide where a short video, a graphic, or a hands-on activity does more than another block of text would
- Sit with subject matter experts and translate what's in their head into something a learner can actually follow
- Build quizzes and activities that catch whether someone understood the material, not just whether they clicked next
- Look into what's current in a given subject area before building lessons around it
- Run a check on finished content to make sure it works for learners on different devices or using assistive tools
What We're Looking For
The strongest signal for us is whether the writing itself holds up. Send a course module you built, and we can tell in five minutes whether you can turn a dense topic into something a learner sticks with. A degree in education or instructional design is fine to have, but it doesn't answer that question the way a real writing sample does. You should be a confident writer first — a lot of this job comes down to explaining something clearly in plain language before any multimedia gets added on top.
Comfort with content authoring tools and basic multimedia software is expected. You don't need to be a video editor or graphic designer by trade, but you should know enough to build or direct simple multimedia pieces without handing everything off to someone else.
Nice to Have
- Experience developing content for a specific niche, like technical training or corporate learning
- Background in curriculum design beyond individual course modules
- Some knowledge of accessibility requirements for digital learning materials
- Examples of courses or modules you've already built and can walk through
Pay and Practical Details
The pay for this role sits at
$90,000 per year. Since it's remote from top to bottom, you'll need a solid internet connection and hardware that won't choke on writing tools, design software, and the occasional multimedia file. Most collaboration with subject matter experts and other content developers happens over video calls and shared documents rather than in person.
Why This Role Is Worth Applying For
At Naukri Mitra, content developers get treated as the people who actually make courses work, not just as writers filling in a template someone else designed. You'll have real input on structure and approach, not just execution of a brief handed down from above. Developers whose courses perform well — high completion, strong feedback — get first access to bigger, higher-visibility projects.
How the Work Gets Done
Content gets built in close contact with the people who know the subject, so questions get answered quickly instead of sitting unresolved for days. Finished material is checked against learner outcomes after launch, and if something isn't landing, it's revised rather than left alone until the next big overhaul.
