Engadget is currently seeking freelance journalists to join its team as contributing writers. The publication has spent over 20 years covering the technology sector and is expanding its roster to handle more weekly stories.
Requirements and Qualifications
Candidates should possess broad familiarity with the consumer tech space and the ability to produce fast, clean copy. The publication values deep knowledge and enthusiasm for technology over professional degrees or decades of experience, making these entry-level positions suitable for those who have previous writing experience.
A primary requirement for the role is the ability to distill complex subjects into accessible stories for any reader. Engadget maintains a strict no-AI policy, requiring writers to have a strong mastery of the English language to craft accurate, engaging, and informative articles without artificial intelligence assistance.
Role Details and Working Environment
Writers will collaborate with experienced professionals in tech journalism, receiving daily assignments from the news and features desks. Once writers complete a few initial articles, they are permitted to pitch and develop their own story ideas.
The positions are entirely remote, accommodating writers across four continents and any timezone. Compensation is provided through either flat hourly or per-word rates based on experience, and all time spent on training or trials is compensated.
Engadget offers a collaborative and respectful work environment with regular hours, assignments, and pay, noting that several writers have remained with the publication for over a decade. Interested applicants can apply for the remote roles online.
