Our company is seeking an experienced SaaS developer to create a real-time collaboration platform tailored specifically for modern newsrooms. This platform will integrate AI-powered tools to enhance editorial processes, offer seamless multi-tenancy features, and support API-first architecture. Our target is to facilitate real-time content creation and management with AI-driven insights, ensuring dynamic and efficient news cycles.

📋Project Details

In the rapidly evolving News & Journalism industry, the demand for instantaneous news delivery and collaboration among dispersed teams is critical. We aim to develop a SaaS platform that empowers newsrooms to manage content in real-time collaboratively.

Security and payment management will be enhanced via Auth0 and Stripe, respectively. The solution will be built with an API-first approach to allow seamless integration with existing newsroom tools and services, and will support a no-code/low-code customization interface to cater to various editorial needs. Our objective is to deliver a robust, scalable, and secure platform that transforms how newsrooms operate, enhancing productivity and collaboration.
