Instructional Designer, Remote
Nobody finishes an e-learning course just because it exists. They finish it because it's actually worth their time, and building that is the whole job here. This is a full-time remote position open to applicants anywhere, with a salary up to $72,000 per year.
What you'd build
- Design and develop e-learning courses and training materials people actually want to complete
- Apply instructional design principles to structure content that holds attention and sticks
- Evaluate how well courses are working using learner feedback and completion data
Take a compliance course learners were clicking through as fast as possible, just hunting for the next button without reading anything. Rebuilding it around branching scenarios, where a wrong choice actually plays out a consequence instead of just flagging "incorrect," tends to fix that problem faster than adding more slides ever would. Reworking a course that technically exists but isn't landing is a routine part of this role, not a rare rescue project.
Background expected
The graduate-level bar here is a master's degree, typically in instructional design, educational technology, or a closely related field. On the experience side, the team wants two years of work actually building e-learning courses with real authoring tools, not just studying the theory behind them.
- Working knowledge of instructional design models like ADDIE
- Hands-on experience with e-learning authoring tools
- Comfort working within learning management systems
- Storyboarding skills for planning course structure before building it
- Ability to design assessments that measure real understanding, not just recall
Pay and benefits
Pay for this role goes up to $72,000 a year, a solid figure within instructional designer remote salary ranges at the two-year experience mark. The package covers medical coverage, time off, and a company match for retirement savings, on top of the flexibility of working from wherever you are. Depending on the employer, paid holidays and the occasional team event round things out further.
How the work fits together
Naukri Mitra listed this opening, but you'd be collaborating closely with subject-matter experts who know the content and rely on you to shape it into something learnable. Projects typically move through a draft-review-revise cycle rather than getting built once and shipped. A course that performs well in a pilot group may still require real changes once it rolls out to a wider, more varied audience.
Applying
Apply through the listing where you found this description, and include a portfolio sample if you have one, along with the authoring tools and learning management systems you've used most. If you've worked with a specific instructional design framework beyond ADDIE, mention it directly.
