If you’re a skilled writer with outsize technology chops who gets excited by the idea of taking the Ars audience with you as you go hands-on with hardware—all kinds of hardware!—then this position has your name all over it. Plus, you get to have me as your boss, and how could that be anything other than awesome?!
The job
The formal job description and application is right here and has all the specifics and HR stuff, including salary range. The short summary is that we’re looking for an experienced writer (where “experience” means “several years of professional work”), who is a technologist first and foremost. We want people who tinker around with tech because they can’t not tinker around with tech; that kind of joy tends to leak out into the work, and it’s impossible to fake.
Some specifics on the subject matter the job will cover, copied from the job description:
- Desktop and mobile operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
- Desktops and laptops
- Mobile phones and related devices
- CPU & GPU architecture
- Storage, including NAS, hard drives, and solid-state drives
- Self-hosting and homelab-type services, including and especially solutions based around open source software
This is a full-time job with benefits. Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States and should expect to travel perhaps 4–5 times per year. As this is a work-from-home position, you should be comfy in that environment (though we try to all get together and see each other at least once a year at a big in-person all-hands meeting).
If that all sounds good to you, hit the link and apply right here. We hope to have this position filled by August!
