What we're looking for
Hacker Noon is looking for a few junior editors to manage the daily volume of submissions (about 50+) from all corners of the internet to our custom CMS.
In this role, your primary objective is to alleviate the workload of the editors: be it fact checking, plagiarism spotting, rejecting overly promotional articles, correcting bad links, shit grammar, and/or poor formatting, or simply adding rad feature images, memes, or videos from the internet.
Ultimately, your sole objective is to improve articles for publication on hackernoon.com.
Responsibilities and Requirements
- You will read a lot of tech-related stories. You need to be interested, able, and willing to read, edit, and improve 10-15 story submissions, on a daily basis.
"Attention to detail is your ability to efficiently allocate your cognitive resources to achieve thoroughness and accuracy when accomplishing tasks, no matter how small or large. Attention to detail skills allows you to improve your workplace productivity, efficiency and performance."
— stolen from somewhere on the internet
- You will need to to self-organize, self-motivate, and be a nice human being to your colleagues.
- Our writers want to get published ASAP. Your help will make our writers happy.
- Tech stories include a lot of code, memes, technical code, lists, difficult terms to digest. Our goal is simple: each story should have a great looking "layout", that helps you to read the full story. Content + Formatting + Good Layout makes a story that everybody wants to read.
- You need to be agile and experienced with Google Chrome and Gsuite. Though these things change fast around here — don't say you weren't warned. (Current obsession: Notion 😻)
- Our team is (and will always be) working remotely. Communication is key everywhere, especially in the remote environment. Everything else you need to know, we'll teach you.
Compensation
Every single Hacker Noon team member started out as a part time contractor first, including the CEO. You will be assigned a part time project based on your skill, interest, and commitment level. After a mutually agreed upon trial period and compensation amount, there will be an evaluation between you and Hacker Noon to find the best fit: full time, part-time, or no time.
