📋 Description

• Build, maintain, and improve data automation pipelines, scrapers, APIs, and AI-assisted workflows that support high-value newsroom use cases. • Identify, acquire, and structure high-impact datasets and signals that can drive timely, differentiated coverage across local markets. • Design and implement AI-enabled tools and templates that help journalists move faster while maintaining high editorial standards. • Work directly with editorial leaders, reporters, and automation teams to translate newsroom needs into technical solutions. • Prototype, test, and refine new automation and AI workflows, balancing speed, reliability, and editorial usefulness. • Troubleshoot automation, data, or tool issues as they arise, providing clarity and guidance to partners across the newsroom. • Help evaluate existing automation efforts and recommend which should be expanded, refined, redesigned, or retired based on value and impact. • Develop newsroom-ready outputs that may include story drafts, alerts, tip sheets, reporting leads, dashboards, or other editorial tools, depending on the use case. • Mentor and support journalists and teammates using automation and AI tools, helping raise overall technical fluency and confidence. • Clearly document workflows and systems so they are understandable, resilient, and scalable beyond a single owner. • Stay current on developments in AI, data automation, and newsroom technology, and help envision future use cases that responsibly support journalism.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications, data science, computer science or a related field. Equivalent work experience welcomed. • 3-5 years of experience in journalism, data journalism, newsroom automation, computational journalism, software development, or a closely related field. • Strong technical skills, including experience with Python, scraping, APIs, data cleaning, and workflow automation. • Demonstrated ability to work with messy, real-world data and turn it into reliable, usable systems. • Strong news judgment and a clear understanding of what makes a local data signal genuinely reportable, useful and differentiated. • Familiarity with AI tools and the broader generative AI landscape, including benefits, risks, and responsible use in journalism. • Strong communication skills, including the ability to document technical processes and explain them to non-technical partners. • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a deadline-driven environment. • Experience in a local newsroom or in work serving multiple local markets. • Experience building or maintaining automated journalism workflows end-to-end. • Familiarity with CMS workflows and digital publishing operations. • Experience designing alerts, triggers or threshold-based systems for editorial use. • Experience working with public records or watchdog-style datasets such as inspections, enforcement actions, labor notices, court records, licensure data or government records. • Experience using AI tools to support data processing, classification, summarization, or workflow efficiency.

🏖️ Benefits

• We are eager to learn more about you and how you fit this role. When you apply, don’t limit your upload to a resume; show us what you’ve done.

Links to no more than three published stories, writing samples. • It is important that these items be assembled into a single document and uploaded in PDF format. Completing these steps will ensure that your application receives the highest consideration.
