Technology Reporter — Business of Tech, AI & Power

Who we are

The company is a global news platform for an increasingly complex world in which consumers are overwhelmed by too many news sources and unsure what to trust. We are building the company to enable world-class journalists to deliver reporting and insights with rigor in journalistic forms that ensure a new level of transparency. Our editors and reporters distill the most important stories from all over in formats that uncover the forces shaping the stories, explain the interests behind polarizing narratives, and replenish the stock of shared facts. As a global platform, the company recognizes that smart people can disagree and that informed readers need to understand alternative points of view from competing centers of power and culture in a multi-polar world.

About the role

We're looking for a proven, scoop-hungry Tech Reporter to cover the business of tech with a relentless focus on AI, and the forces — money, power, and politics — that are reshaping the industry and the world it's remaking.

Your focus will be on big-game hunting — getting the scoops and stories that will set the company apart. You'll be tracking what the largest companies in history are building, how they’re making money, and how the people who run them are accumulating capital and political influence. You’ll uncover how AI is restructuring industries and reordering markets, and how governments in Washington, Brussels, and Beijing are rushing to catch up. In addition to writing agenda-setting stories for the company's tech and business coverage, you’ll contribute to our newsletters, shows, live journalism, and cross-platform collaborations across the newsroom.

The ideal candidate has cultivated sources at the executive level inside the major AI labs, in venture capital and private equity, on Capitol Hill, and inside the White House and federal agencies — and knows how to work all of them to land stories no one else has.

Responsibilities

• Produce a regular cadence of scoops and definitive analytical pieces

• Build and maintain high-level sources across the AI labs, major tech companies, venture and growth capital, and the political ecosystem around tech policy

• Write agenda-setting stories that situate individual company or policy decisions in the larger context of capital accumulation, geopolitical competition, and technological transformation

• Collaborate with the company journalists across business, finance, politics, and international coverage to produce breakout cross-beat stories

• Contribute to the company's live journalism, including news-breaking, on-record panels with senior business and political figures

Who you are

• five or more years of relevant experience in tech or business journalism, with a demonstrated track record of sourcing deeply inside companies and venture capital

• Proven ability to blend insider knowledge with authoritative "what-it-means" analysis for a sophisticated audience of executives, investors, and policymakers

• A reporter who has already developed a voice and sharp takes on the biggest stories in tech

• Someone who thinks beyond the story of the day — spotting the bigger themes, the quiet power shifts, the deals and decisions that only make sense months later

• Self-starter with experience in fast-moving, ambitious newsroom environments and the willingness to jump in wherever the team needs you

• A contagious passion for news in all its forms, and a genuine obsession with where technology and power intersect

Compensation

The base salary for this position ranges from $120,000 to $175,000. Individual compensation varies based on experience, qualifications, and scope of responsibility. The company offers comprehensive benefits including unlimited PTO, medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and pre-tax commuter benefits.

The company offers a Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO) policy to our full-time, salaried employees who may take paid time off as-needed without a prescribed limit or defined balance.
