Full Job Description

About the job

This role is compensated through founding equity in Aebly Media, with the transition to salaried pay as we scale. This is not a salaried position upfront — you're joining as a founding contributor with real ownership in what you help build.

About Aebly Media

Aebly Media is a political news and civic engagement platform built to help people cut through bias and actually understand what's happening in government. We bring the full spectrum of news into one place, presenting every story across Left, Center, and Right perspectives with bias scoring and AI summaries so readers see the whole picture instead of one side of it. Our personal political compass shows users where they stand and how their views map over time, while our legislation hub lets them read, track, and vote on real congressional bills with plain-language summaries and progress tracking. Our election tab brings together the candidates and races shaping the next cycle, and rounding it out are the civic tools, profiles, and a growing community built around media literacy and informed engagement. Our brand is built on one idea: politics without the noise.

The Role

We're launching Witness — a new feature where everyday people report events happening in their communities in real time, and our journalists investigate what's actually going on. We're looking for an Investigative Journalist to be assigned to these reports: chasing down the facts, verifying claims, talking to sources, and turning raw citizen reports into credible, fact-grounded coverage. This is boots-on-the-ground, source-driven reporting for people who believe the truth is worth digging for.

What you'll do

Investigate events and reports submitted by users through the Witness feature
Verify claims, gather evidence, and separate what actually happened from rumor and noise
Conduct interviews with witnesses, officials, and relevant sources
Research public records, documents, and primary sources to build out the full story
Write clear, factual, well-sourced investigative pieces that hold up to scrutiny
Maintain Aebly's core editorial posture: make bias explicit, ground every claim in verifiable fact, and let the evidence speak
Coordinate with editors, media trackers, and the editorial team on assignment priorities and publishing
Protect sources and handle sensitive information responsibly and ethically

What we're looking for

A nose for the story and the persistence to chase it down
Strong investigative instincts — knows how to verify, source, and fact-check rigorously
Excellent writing skills with the ability to turn a tangle of facts into a clear, compelling narrative
Comfortable interviewing sources, including reluctant or hostile ones
Committed to accuracy, fairness, and journalistic ethics
Able to work independently, manage assignments, and meet deadlines
Comfortable working remotely and coordinating with a distributed editorial team

Helpful but not required

Previous investigative, news, or field reporting experience
Experience with public records requests, FOIA, document research, or data journalism
A background in journalism, communications, or a related field
Familiarity with media law, libel standards, and source protection
Experience covering politics, local government, or community issues

What's in it for you

Founding equity in Aebly Media with milestone-based vesting and growth prospects as we scale
A founding role on Witness — a genuinely new approach to community-driven investigative journalism
The freedom to chase real stories that matter, backed by a platform built on truth and transparency
A seat at the table as we define what investigative reporting looks like at Aebly

If you believe the most important stories are the ones someone doesn't want told, and you have the persistence to uncover them, apply now to join Aebly Media.

This is a founding contributor role, not a salaried employee position. Compensation is initially through founding equity, with the expectation of transitioning to salaried compensation as the company scales. Specific equity terms are finalized individually in a written contributor agreement. This role is offered on an at-will basis and does not guarantee future salaried employment. Aebly Media is an equal opportunity employer.

Pay: Up to $60,000.00 per year

Work Location: Remote
