SlashGear Job Opportunity
At SlashGear, we cover the tech and machines shaping how people live, work, and play — from consumer gadgets and streaming platforms to power tools, cars, gaming hardware, and emerging innovations. Our editorial focus spans major tool brands like Ryobi, Milwaukee, and DeWalt, enthusiast-driven automotive insights, mainstream tech, smart home devices, and more.
As we continue to expand our coverage, we're looking for experienced technology and automotive writers who can bring clarity, authority, and compelling storytelling to specialized topics. Ideal candidates will have experience covering consumer electronics, software, electric vehicles, automotive news, gadgets, or related industries, with the ability to make complex technical subjects engaging and accessible for a broad audience. Writers will have the flexibility to contribute to technology content, automotive content, or a combination of both.
Two Ways to Contribute
We’re hiring for two freelance paths. You’re welcome to choose the opportunity that best matches your experience and availability, or indicate interest in both when you apply.
News Writer ($21–$25/hr)
Cover short-form news and evergreen content (300–900 words). Writers work a consistent schedule of their choosing (10–40 hours/week). Compensation within this range is based on experience and qualifications, with $21 per hour as the starting rate.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Feature Writer ($0.08-$0.10/word)
Focus on deep-dive, long-form features (2,600+ words). There is no set schedule, but we ask for a minimum of one feature per week. Compensation within this range is based on experience and qualifications, with 8 cents per word as the starting rate.
