News Developer

The Trace is hiring a news developer to be a core member of The Gun Violence Data Hub, a new initiative that aims to increase the accessibility and use of data in journalism about gun violence. We need your help to reinvent how gun violence is covered and visualized.

As the Data Hub’s news developer, you’ll be responsible for researching, reporting, designing, and developing interactive visualizations, data projects, and data collection efforts, such as The Trace’s map of more than 10 years of gun violence, our gun sales tracker, or our database of gun dealer inspection reports. You’ll also be one of the first points of contact for the Data Hub’s resource desk, assisting journalists from around the country in their pursuit of data-informed reporting and creating tools that reporters and editors from other newsrooms can use for their work.
