Lifehacker's Looking for a New Writer

Think you've got what it takes to join Team Lifehacker? That's good, because we're on the hunt for a new writer to join the crew.

You could be a great fit if:

  • You love and understand a lot about technology, and have a knack for tinkering with software and bending gear to your will. (Bonus points for command line/programming junkies in general.)
  • You know how to slap together nouns, verbs, and the occasional em dash and enjoy a good href.
  • You can deliver clean, crisp, and informed takes on everything from software and web sites to food and personal finance.
  • You're creative, and you've got all kinds of ideas that would make for great Lifehacker features. (We particularly love a good how-to feature.)
  • You're ambitious, looking to make a name for yourself, and are prepared to work hard.

I'm emphasizing the hard work aspect because Lifehacker is a job that does require some serious hours and dedication, and if you don't have the time or aren't interested in a job that requires a lot of hard work, it's probably not for you. But if you're a good fit, it's also an extremely rewarding job.

If you think you may be a good fit, send an email to tips at with "Lifehacker Job Application" in the subject. Don't include any attachments. Do include your Lifehacker commenter ID if you have one, along with anything else you've written, Lifehacker-y ideas you have that you think would make you a good fit, or anything else you think might wow us.

The position we're looking to fill is part-to-full time and pays accordingly. We're expecting a lot of submissions, so we won't be able to respond to each email individually; rest assured that your interest is much appreciated.
