Wired is seeking a first-rate copy editor to work with our print and digital editorial teams in our San Francisco office.
The copy editor will be expected to edit all editorial content—from short web posts to long-form features—for grammar, style, and syntax. Beyond that, copy editors should have a great ear for language and be able to recast prose for clarity, concision, and brand voice, when necessary.

They will also be enthusiastic and highly organized. And they will be able to demonstrate (both through a cover letter and résumé) their interest in technology and how it’s transforming the world.
Candidates should be comfortable working with content-management systems and the Adobe suite of publishing tools. They should also be able to work quickly and accurately under deadline pressure.

The ideal candidate will possess:
