Candidates should have experience creating video, especially short-form vertical video for TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms; engaging with audiences on X, Facebook, Reddit, and elsewhere; and collaborating with other journalists in a newsroom environment.
Candidates should have at least 2 years of editorial experience and be familiar with journalistic best practices and the topics that Gizmodo covers.
