Managing Editor, Tech

CoinDesk is seeking an experienced journalist to spearhead its tech coverage, with an emphasis on original reporting about the open-source software protocols underpinning the major cryptocurrencies.

This role is detail-oriented and involves building an expert team that can work on tight deadlines, while finding creative ways to tell stories about the people and ideas laying the groundwork for a new digital financial system. You will conceive, assign and edit everything from quick breaking news hits to longer-form features.

Our ideal candidate has deep relationships in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry and knows the history of bitcoin, ethereum and other major protocols. You know your way around Github and are comfortable interviewing software developers and distilling complex ideas into clear, digestible writing for a sophisticated audience without oversimplifying or dumbing it down.
