Business Insider seeks enterprise tech reporter

Business Insider’s tech team is looking for a full-time reporter to help cover enterprise and business computing — including software, hardware, and cloud services.

Here’s what we need:

* A proven ability to write about business computing — and the companies and people behind it — in plain English without being dull.

* Experience covering Oracle, HP, SAP, Salesforce, IBM, Dell, Cisco, or other large-cap tech companies who sell mostly to businesses.

* Experience covering Slack, Docker, Dropbox, Asana, or other hot privately-held startups in the business technology space.

* Basic technical chops — you don’t need experience running an IT shop, but you must understand and not be intimidated by specs and acronyms.

* A good understanding of what CIOs and IT managers think about and look for and the issues they’re facing today, like the consumerization of IT and cloud computing.

* A strong sense of skepticism and immunity to hype.

* An open mind and flexible approach to writing and reporting.

* A desire to write for a fast-moving online-only publication — we are not a print magazine and don’t work like one.

To apply, go here.
