At Sprout News, we believe great journalism and great technology are not opposites — they're partners. We're looking for people who are as excited about truth as they are about tools.
We're early-stage with real traction. Your contributions will directly shape the product, the culture and the company — no bureaucracy, just impact.
Work at the frontier of AI and journalism. Our VeriFact™ pipeline is built with the latest models — you'll be using and improving AI tools every day.
Work from anywhere in India. We care about outcomes, not office hours. Flexible schedules, async-first communication, and regular team meetups.
₹25,000/year learning budget for courses, books, conferences and tools. We invest in your growth as much as the product's.
As part of the Sprout ecosystem, you work alongside Growth Agency and Create Studio teams — cross-pollinating ideas and skills across disciplines.
We're not building another content farm. We're building a verified intelligence layer for India. If that resonates with you, we'd love to talk.
Cover AI, deep tech and Indian startup ecosystem. You'll write the stories our VeriFact™ pipeline surfaces — adding context, nuance and original reporting. 3+ years of technology journalism experience required.
Build and scale the Sprout News platform. You'll work on the VeriFact™ AI pipeline, the news delivery infrastructure, and reader-facing product features. Stack: HTML/CSS/JS, Node.js, Python, REST APIs.
Improve our 3-stage verification pipeline. Research better fact-checking models, reduce hallucination, improve trust scoring, and build the next generation of AI-assisted journalism. Experience with LLMs required.
Own organic growth for Sprout News. Build our SEO strategy, manage newsletter growth, and experiment with new distribution channels. You'll work closely with both the editorial and tech teams.
Own the Sprout News daily briefing — selecting, editing and contextualising the 5 stories that land in subscribers' inboxes every morning at 7 AM. Sharp editorial judgement and a deep understanding of India required.
