Senior Writer, Big Tech - WIRED

New Posted 18 October 2022 | San Francisco, CA | WIRED

The largest technology companies make world-shaping products and platforms. WIRED seeks a writer to cover these companies, with a particular focus on Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Apple. This role spans both the business/economic and social impacts of these companies’ power. You’ll cover their most consequential actions, get inside their internal deliberations, and report on the strategies they use to outmaneuver or quash competitors and influence regulators, politicians, and the public. You may also cover them through the stories of their smaller rivals, of companies that depend on their economic ecosystems—such as sellers on Amazon or app developers for Apple—or of regulators or activists who tussle with them. You may look at how they tackle issues like misinformation, how they use their platforms to try to promote positive change, and how their founders or top executives use their wealth philanthropically. We’re less interested in earnings reports than real-world impacts. You’ll have lots of room to roam, and will work closely with editors to identify the sharpest angles on the most pressing stories in Silicon Valley and beyond.
