We’re looking for a reporter to own AI coverage. The ideal candidate should have a strong writing voice and be able to think creatively about how to cover the tech industry and the ways technology affects our lives.

As a reporter at Gizmodo, you’ll track the news and turn around multiple short pieces per day, as well as long-form stories that require more time. The ideal candidate should have a strong writing voice, a healthy sense of humor, a familiarity with Silicon Valley and politics, and a demonstrated background in news writing.
