- This is NOT an SEO content writing, marketing content, or generic blog writing role.
- We expect original, human-written articles. Candidates who rely heavily on AI-generated writing, AI paraphrasing, or AI humanizer tools are not suitable for this role.
- Shortlisted candidates must complete a time-bound writing assignment as part of the hiring process.
Responsibilities

- Identify interesting story angles from studies, discoveries, reports, trends, credible sources, and audience-interest signals.
- Write compelling headlines, sharp introductions, and well-structured stories that capture reader interest.

- Validate facts, claims, statistics, and information using credible sources, including research studies, official reports, university publications, and reputed media outlets.

Important: Who Should NOT Apply
We are NOT looking for SEO-first content writers.
This position is unlikely to be suitable for candidates whose primary experience is in:
- SEO blogs, keyword-driven articles, or search-engine-first content writing.
- Website content, landing pages, brand content, or marketing copy.
- PR writing, social media captions, or product descriptions.
- Academic writing or generic agency content without published editorial experience.
- AI-generated articles, AI paraphrasing, AI humanizers, or heavily AI-assisted writing.
Original, human-written content is a non-negotiable requirement. While Rytstory uses AI and data tools in its broader research and publishing workflows, we expect our writers to bring their own thinking, original writing, research judgment, and storytelling ability to every article.
AI may assist with research, source discovery, and fact-checking, but should not be used to generate, rewrite, or humanize the final articles.
What you'll get
- Opportunity to write stories for leading digital news publishers.
- Exposure to U.S. and international digital audiences.
- Hands-on experience with performance-led content, audience insights, and modern publishing workflows.
- A fast-moving startup environment with meaningful learning, responsibility, and growth opportunities.
- Performance-linked incentives over and above fixed compensation for qualifying content performance.

- Understanding of U.S. and international audiences.

Please apply only if you are comfortable completing this assessment. It is a mandatory part of our hiring process. The end-to-end selection process generally takes around one week, depending on candidate availability and internal evaluations.
Candidates with genuine newsroom, digital publishing, or article-led editorial experience will be strongly preferred. If you enjoy discovering interesting stories, researching credible information, writing for curious digital audiences, and combining strong storytelling with an understanding of content performance, we'd love to hear from you.
