VentureBeat seeks a tech reporter

VentureBeat has a job opening for a reporter with experience covering tech news via a wide variety of story types, including breaking news, analysis, and features.

We’re looking for a person in the Bay Area but are also open to applications from people in other North American time zones. You have to enjoy covering the business of technology, but more important is a critical eye, an ability to develop sources, and a knack for breaking news.

For this role, a demonstrable interest in transformative tech is preferable, anything from AI and self-driving cars to blockchain and cryptocurrencies to social and mobile. A readiness to cover the major tech giants as well as the little guys is a plus.

As a VentureBeat reporter, you possess strong writing and analytical skills to help differentiate your coverage from the rest of the pack. You’re a journalist who is eager to go out and get the stories that other sites don’t have. This is a full-time position.

If you’re as excited as we are, please send a resume, desired compensation, and cover letter containing three links to your best clips to jobs@venturebeat.com. Please put “Transformative tech reporter” in the subject line.
