Bengaluru, Karnataka, India a5a330dd-d9b5-4361-988c-b05959792bf4 Full time ₹ 12,00,000 - ₹ 36,00,000 per year
About the role

You'll plan, design, and create interactive illustrations and data-driven artifacts that make complex information click for users. This means designing programmatic visualisations, building scrapers that pull useful signals from noise across the web, and analysing datasets to find angles nobody else has spotted. Your work will support both editorial projects and experimental initiatives, so you'll move fluidly between journalistic investigation and strategic undertakings.

About you

You have top-notch technical acumen:

Strong programming skills—Python, JavaScript, or similar

Experience with data visualisation libraries and frameworks

Proficiency in web scraping and API integration

Solid grasp of data analysis and manipulation

Comfortable working with databases and managing large datasets

You also have sharp editorial instincts:

Keen narrative intuition

The sense to identify compelling stories rooted in data

Clear communication skills to connect with technical and general audiences

Understanding of journalistic ethics and data privacy

Experience working in newsroom environments or similar cross-disciplinary, collaborative settings

What you're expected to do

Design and build interactive data visualisations and web-based artifacts

Develop data pipelines to collect information at scale

Analyse datasets to identify undiscovered patterns and insights

Collaborate with reporters and editors to enhance storytelling

Support business team initiatives with data-driven insights

Maintain and optimise data infrastructure for ongoing projects

People who may be a good fit

You love the journeys of locating the perfect dataset, debugging a misbehaving scraper, and figuring out how to visualise a project that nobody has tackled before. You believe in making information simultaneously accessible and aesthetically engaging. The bigger and more unique the project, the more exciting it is for you.

This role is for someone who wants their work to matter by crafting great stories that haven't been told before, and who chooses to work at the intersection of code, data, and narrative building.
