Oh sure, you love gadgets -- but do you have the chops to write about them? We'd love to know if you think you do, because we're looking to actually pay people to do this stuff. Professional writing experience isn't necessary (though it doesn't hurt), but what we really care about is that you can write skillfully about gadgets with wit, concision, and authority. And being obsessed with Engadget is good, too.

  • Full-time editor - Full-time, salary, benefits, the whole nine. Can be based on the East Coast (preferably NYC) or West Coast (preferably SF).

  • European editor - Part or full-time (freelance), must be based in Europe, preferably London.

  • Evening or Australian editor - Part or full-time (freelance), West Coast, odd hours, or Sydney / Oz-based are all solid.

  • Engadget Mobile contributing editor - Part time or full-time (freelance).

  • East Coast intern (based in New York City, or a very short commute)

Want to apply? Read on.



Here's what you need to send to apply:

Writing

  • Three sample posts written in the Engadget style.

  • Your favorite related gadgets (and why).

  • Give us a few words about how you think Engadget differs from other technology pubs out there.

About You

  • A few words about yourself. (Please note, due to legalities we can't hire minors.)

  • Your contact info.

  • How much time per week you can commit to blogging. If it's less than ten then you probably shouldn't bother. Be realistic, okay?

  • Any other questions you may have about the gig.

What not to do

  • Don't just send us stuff you wrote elsewhere, we're not asking for clips.

  • Don't send attachments or resumes.

Note that we will only review fully complete applications, and remember to put the name of the position you're applying for in the title of your email.

We also apologize, but the sheer volume of applications makes it difficult to respond to everyone. If we're interested we'll get in touch, and thanks in advance!
