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.

- 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 informationYou write narratively, not academically - you understand story structure, pacing, and how to make complex topics entertainingYou're comfortable with primary source research : court documents, public records, interviewing sources, following paper trailsYou can learn new domains quickly - we'll teach you crypto, you teach us storytellingYou fact-check obsessively and lose sleep over potential inaccuraciesYou can write in multiple formats : video scripts, long-form articles, interview questions, social copyYou work independently and ship consistently - we need ideas and scripts flowing weekly without micromanagementYou believe good stories are about people, not topics - you'd rather cover "the co-founders who destroyed each other" than "how the protocol works"
