The Wall Street Journal is looking for an enthusiastic data journalist and news developer to work with its economics team in Washington.
The ideal candidate would conceive and execute ambitious data-driven visuals—some in a matter of hours, others over days—to illuminate the Journal’s economics coverage. He or she would serve as the in-house data artist, reporting to the global economics editor.
Working closely with other reporters, editors and the Journal’s visuals team, you would dig into data for quick hits, investigative projects and enterprise stories, transforming often complex subjects into simple yet striking visual displays and interactives.
Qualifications: We’re looking for a developer who has substantial skill and experience using spreadsheets and GIS tools to analyze data (SQL and Python or R are a plus) and HTML/CSS and JavaScript (particularly D3) to visualize it.
We expect you would both pitch and execute ideas. You might work alone sometimes but you’ll often work as part of a team, drawing on the Journal’s journalists worldwide.
