We're looking for a visual journalist and graphics developer to report, write, design and code data-driven stories and visualizations. We're looking for someone who can produce inventive explanatory, analytical and interactive journalism in a variety of forms, from conception through publication; and who is also enthusiastic about contributing your skills to colleagues' projects.

You should be interested in covering a wide range of topics yourself. Deeper experience in a particular subject is also welcome, including in areas that are listed here or in ones that aren't, such as economics, immigration or artificial intelligence.

You may be a veteran journalist, or you may be someone with less conventional experience who has been publishing unique explanatory work.
