Washington Post seeks deputy tech editor in San Francisco

The Washington Post is looking for a deputy technology editor in San Francisco.

This editor will be part of a significant expansion of our technology team, which will include the hiring of reporters, editors and video journalists in San Francisco, Seattle and our Washington newsroom.

The editor will help lead our team focused on news and enterprise about America’s biggest technology companies, as well as reporters focused on the culture of Silicon Valley and consumer-facing stories that demystify the world of tech.

This editor will work on a technology team led by San Francisco-based technology editor, Christina Passariello, and with a new tech policy editor in Washington. Talents should include the fast-twitch capacity to fire off an alert about a new development as well as a thoughtful, sophisticated approach to editing a complex feature. We’re looking for someone who has an appreciation for the intricacies of technology news, but will make sure our stories are accessible. The ability to coach reporters and help them identify broad connections and big stories is essential in this role. Extensive experience covering or editing technology subjects is not required. But enthusiasm, as well as strong line-editing and conceptual skills, are necessary to succeed in this position.

Interested candidates should send a resume and cover letter to David Cho David.Cho@washpost.com, Zachary Goldfarb Zachary.Goldfarb@washpost.com, Christina Passariello Christina.Passariello@washpost.com, or Tracy Grant Tracy.Grant@washpost.com by Nov. 9.
