The modern connected world is generating data and information at an unprecedented pace, creating a massive opportunity for those helping businesses make sense of it all — and setting the stage for emerging technologies like edge computing, autonomous vehicles, and blockchain development. The ideal candidate will want to break news about the Big Data and AI industries for an audience of millions. They should be able to translate industry jargon into everyday language and make technical concepts relevant to a general business audience. They’ll be tasked with identifying the stories that matter and connecting them to the broader economic and political context. The role will involve working with our editors to conceptualize, report, and write analysis and longer-term feature stories as well as cover breaking news as needed. The ideal candidate will be deeply sourced in Silicon Valley and have a strong understanding of the tech industry, including the key companies, personalities, products and trends, the competitive landscape, and the nuances of the various business models. They will be a team player who can adapt to a fast-changing news cycle.
