Location: Bangalore / In-Office Commitment: Full-time, Monday to Saturday Compensation: ₹7–12 LPA + ESOPs About SuperKalam SuperKalam is building an AI-first learning platform for serious aspirants in India. We are rethinking how students prepare for highly competitive exams through better content, faster feedback loops, stronger user understanding, and tech-first workflows. We started by solving real problems in UPSC preparation — where students need structure, clarity, high-quality practice, evaluation, and consistent guidance. At SuperKalam, content is not treated as static notes or one-way teaching material. It is closely tied to student outcomes, user feedback, current affairs depth, product thinking, and fast iteration. We are looking for a Research & Content Associate who has strong firsthand UPSC experience, sharp content instincts, creative thinking to present concepts in a simple way, good current affairs understanding, and the ability to work in an AI-first environment. Role Overview This is not a teaching role. This role is for someone who can help SuperKalam build stronger UPSC content systems by combining:

• exam insight
• current affairs understanding
• content judgment
• student empathy
• AI-enabled workflows (images, concepts flows)

You should have personally gone deep into the UPSC journey, understand the demands of the exam, and be able to translate that understanding into better content and better user feedback loops. Because SuperKalam is increasingly tech-first in the way we build, review, and scale learning systems, we are looking for someone who is comfortable with technology and can learn to use AI tools intelligently for content creation, review, research, and workflow improvement. What you’ll do

• Create, review, improve, and maintain UPSC preparation content (modules + questions)

• Ensure content quality remains aligned with the latest UPSC syllabus, question patterns, and recent trends

• Track and interpret current affairs regularly, with seriousness and depth

• Bring strong awareness of important national and global developments relevant for UPSC aspirants

• Work on content refinement across areas like: • current affairs

• issue-based understanding

• PYQ-linked relevance

• fact accuracy

• framing and clarity

• innovation in presentations of concepts

• Listening to students to understand: • where they are struggling

• what they are finding useful

• what content gaps still exist

• how SuperKalam can improve their learning experience

What we’re looking for

• Must have cleared UPSC Mains at least once in the last 3 years
• Strong communication skills in English and Hindi
• Strong content judgment and the ability to distinguish between surface-level and exam-relevant material
• Structured thinker with high ownership
• Eager to learn, flexible enough to unlearn, and open to working in an AI-first content environment

Why this role is exciting

• You will work on a serious UPSC product with real student impact
• You will get to use your UPSC journey in a way that is practical and high leverage
• You will work in an AI-first company where content, research, and product are increasingly tech-enabled
• You will help shape how one of India’s most demanding exam categories is served through better systems, not just more content
• You will have the opportunity to grow into larger responsibilities across content, user insight, and AI-enabled workflows
