Remote
What we offer
For every role, in every team.
Remote-first
Work from anywhere in Asia, with the team overlapping for a few hours each day.
Time to report
Stories get the time they need. We'd rather publish less and get it right.
Learning budget
An annual budget for courses, languages, books and conferences.
Real rest
Generous leave, and a newsroom rota that means switching off is real.
How we hire
Four steps, usually within three weeks. We reply to everyone.
Apply
Send your CV and two or three pieces of work you're proud of.
Conversation
A 30-minute call with the editor or lead you'd work with.
A paid task
A short, paid exercise that resembles the real work — never unpaid.
Meet the team
Talk to the people you'd work beside, then an offer within a week.
How we work
What we ask of each other.
Write for everyone
Explain without talking down. If a reader needs a glossary, we've failed.
Get it right
Accuracy over speed, and corrections in plain sight.
Make it beautiful
Design is part of the journalism, not a coat of paint.
Work anywhere
A distributed team across Asia, with time zones as an advantage.
