Chemistry Resource Developer

This is a remote position.

Chemistry Resource Developer, India Remote (India) | Full-Time Also searched as: Chemistry Content Developer, Academic Content Developer, Chemistry Content Writer, Subject Matter Expert (Chemistry), Educational Content Developer

Do you want to build science resources from the ground up, the booklets, exams, assessments, and worked solutions that high school students actually learn from?

In a typical week you might write a set of exam-style questions on a Class 10 Physics topic, build step-by-step Chemistry solutions that read like a tutor talking a student through the problem, or structure a Biology booklet that makes a difficult concept easy to follow.

About Contour

We started in 2020 with a handful of students and a belief that great education should not be out of reach. Today we operate across three brands with 8,000+ students and 425+ team members: roughly 100 in India and 325 onshore in Australia. The India team runs publishing, student experience, CRM and technology, operations, and people and culture.

For a student stuck on a hard topic, your explanation is the moment it clicks or it does not. Clarity is the whole job.

About This Role

You create original science content for high school students, covering Chemistry up to Class 10 , including practice exams, booklets, assignments, assessments, questions, and worked solutions.

This is a hands-on creator role, not editing or refining someone else's work: you write the questions, define the structure, and write the step-by-step solutions and explanations that mirror a tutor's voice, helping students understand the scientific reasoning and not just the answer.

You structure your work around relevant high school science curricula and academic requirements, ensuring accuracy, consistency, appropriate difficulty, and curriculum fit. You keep resources logically organized so students can follow the progression from foundational concepts to more challenging applications.

You work alongside our existing India content team and report into the onshore academic team in Australia, aligning on requirements and learning objectives. You review and refine your content to keep it precise, rigorous, and student-friendly, and you contribute to the processes that let content scale.

The bar that separates a strong hire is subject breadth paired with the ability to explain simply . You understand Science well enough to work confidently across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and you can turn a difficult concept into an explanation a high school student can follow independently.

By the end of your first three months, you are producing science exams, assignments, and booklet material independently, aligned to the required curriculum and level, with explanations and solutions that are clear the first time.

What You Will Do

• Create original Science content for high school students up to Class 10 across Chemistry: practice exams, booklets, assignments, assessments, and learning resources.
• Structure resources for clarity. Define the format and logical progression so material builds naturally as a student learns.
• Write like a tutor. Produce step-by-step, student-friendly solutions and explanations that make the scientific reasoning clear, not just the final answer.
• Cover multiple science disciplines. Develop accurate and engaging resources across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
• Align to the curriculum. Match content to relevant high school Science curricula and academic requirements for accuracy, consistency, and appropriate difficulty.
• Collaborate with the onshore team to align materials with learning objectives and student needs.
• Review and improve. Refine content for precision, scientific accuracy, clarity, and rigor, and suggest better question design, structure, and delivery.

Requirements

What You Need

• A bachelor's or master's degree BSc/MSc, majoring in Chemistry subject only.
• 1 to 3 years in science content development, academic content development, teaching, or a related role.
• Strong conceptual understanding across Chemistry up to Class 12 .
• The ability to confidently handle and explain Class 10 Science concepts across all three disciplines.
• Familiarity with curriculum design, academic resource development, and syllabus alignment.
• Excellent written communication and attention to detail.
• The ability to break down complex scientific concepts into clear, logical, and student-friendly explanations.
• The ability to work independently and manage several content projects at once.
• Cross-timezone comfort, with overlap into Australian time.

Nice to Have

• Experience in academic writing, booklets, assessments, or practice-exam development.
• Exposure to edtech or international curriculum frameworks.
• Experience creating resources for high school students.
• Interest in instructional design or educational technology.

The Kind of People Who Thrive Here

The people who do well here see a gap and close it without being asked, holding the bar even when the clock is short. They give a direct read on the work in front of them, including when it's wrong, and when their own idea doesn't hold up, they say so and bring a better one. They build something that keeps running after they step back. Problems here don't show up on schedule or in the same shape twice, and they'd rather make the right call on limited information than let something break while they wait for a sign-off. That's the job. They name the blocker and the ask the moment they have it, on a call or a text, because decisions get made on the information you bring.

Contour's current cluster heads started as team leads. The path from operator to leader is real here.

What good looks like

• Original content, to standard: Exams, booklets, assignments, and assessments that are accurate, clear, rigorous, and ready for students.
• Solutions a student can follow alone: The scientific reasoning is visible, not just the answer.
• Curriculum-aligned: Material fits the required high school Science curriculum and holds up to academic scrutiny.
• Strong across all three sciences: Resources maintain a consistently high standard across Chemistry.
• It scales: You help content get produced faster, more consistently, and with strong academic quality.

Benefits

Fully remote, anywhere in India. Compensation is competitive and benchmarked to the role and your experience. We discuss it openly early in the process.

Apply with a CV and a short sample or description of Science content you created — a set of questions with worked solutions, a booklet section, or an assessment resource. If you can, include one explanation or worked solution you are particularly proud of.
