About HASH

HASH is a sub-product of Todayq, an India-based company founded in 2017 by Varun Goel, building innovative products at the intersection of technology and creator economy. We're creating the Netflix of crypto - premium entertainment content that explores the human stories, scandals, and culture of Web3. No price predictions or technical analysis - just content people actually want to watch on a Friday night.

We need a Research Journalist who can hunt down untold stories, research them obsessively, and craft them into compelling narratives across video and text.

Responsibilities :

Research and develop story ideas across all HASH content verticals - documentaries, interviews, cultural commentary, and experiments
Script 4-8 HASH Stories per month (7-14 minute script for investigative video documentaries about crypto scandals and human drama)
Hunt for compelling stories by monitoring news, social platforms, court documents, and primary sources
Conduct investigative research using court filings, public records, blockchain data, and interviews with sources
Write long-form culture pieces monthly for hash.media (1,500-2,000 words) exploring the human side of crypto
Pre-research guests for interview series - their background, controversies, and the questions nobody else asks
Develop concepts for experimental content ("I bought every shilled coin for 30 days" style stories)
Curate and craft narratives for anonymous confession submissions
Maintain a story pipeline of 10+ researched ideas at all times
Turn complex scandals into narratives that entertain, not educate

You'll be a good fit if :

You have 2-3 years experience in documentary, investigative journalism, or long-form storytelling (Vice, Vox, podcast production, reality TV research, etc.)

You can find stories nobody else is covering - you know where to dig, what questions to ask, and how to verify information

You write narratively, not academically - you understand story structure, pacing, and how to make complex topics entertaining

You're comfortable with primary source research : court documents, public records, interviewing sources, following paper trails

You can learn new domains quickly - we'll teach you crypto, you teach us storytelling

You fact-check obsessively and lose sleep over potential inaccuracies

You can write in multiple formats : video scripts, long-form articles, interview questions, social copy

You work independently and ship consistently - we need ideas and scripts flowing weekly without micromanagement

You believe good stories are about people, not topics - you'd rather cover "the co-founders who destroyed each other" than "how the protocol works"
