Hello, We’re Built In 

What We’re Up To

We’re building the largest platform for tech professionals globally. Monthly, millions of professionals visit BuiltIn.com from across the world. We’re the only platform they need to stay ahead of tech trends and news, develop their careers and find opportunities at companies they believe in.

Our 1,800 customers include innovative companies of all sizes, from exciting startups to companies in the Fortune 100. To attract our audience of skilled professionals, they trust us to tell the stories of their cultures and share their job opportunities. This helps them hire the industry’s most sought-after professionals locally, nationally and remotely — ultimately contributing to the industry’s ability to innovate a better future.

What You’ll Be a Part Of 

Working at Built In is the chance to help shape a fast-growing company. Whereas we served eight tech hubs at the start of 2021, we entered 72 new markets across the U.S. by year’s end. Global plans are in the works. With venture funding of $30 million to date, we’re expanding not just our geographic footprint but our products and technology.

With the launch of e-learning opportunities for users, we’ve made Built In even more valuable for the professionals who already trust us with their careers. And as we grow into the leading SaaS product for employer branding, we’re using the latest technologies to serve customers in new, exciting ways — and you’ll contribute to that.

You’ll also be a part of changing the lives of professionals like you, ambitious people with a passion for tech and love of learning. As a result, you’ll understand the impact of your work in a deeply personal, especially meaningful way.

We’re Looking for Staff Reporters

Built In’s editorial team reaches millions of tech professionals with in-depth reporting on the technology sector. We are currently in the process of expanding our coverage of fintech, robotics and hardware, and the B2B software sector, and we are hiring features reporters to take on each of these beats. These staff reporters will collaborate closely with their editors and our SEO team to make Built In a one-stop destination for anyone looking to understand their areas of coverage. You’ll do that through a combination of guides, longform explainers and enterprise stories that explore emerging trends and interesting developments within your beat.

For these positions, we are looking for reporters who seek a deeper understanding of how these technologies work, and who delight in explaining them to a lay audience. Your job will be to develop a knowledgeable source network and write compelling stories. Prior experience covering any of the above subjects is a plus, but not required.

You’ll join an ambitious editorial team with reporting and editing experience from publications like the Atlantic, Pacific Standard, Wired, Vox Media and Wirecutter. This team, which is primarily responsible for building and retaining our audience of tech professionals, reports to the VP of Growth and it is independent of our branded content team.

Research shows that women and members of underrepresented groups tend to apply to roles only when they check every box on a job description. We encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of qualifications and if this role is aligned with your career trajectory.

How You’ll Contribute

• Pitch, report and write enterprise feature stories, and contribute to our growing library of explainers.
• Follow debates and emerging trends in your area of coverage and use the insights you gain to develop stories that will keep our audience engaged.
• Collaborate with other reporters on the features team in monthly story feedback sessions.
• Develop an extensive network of subject matter experts, and work with the marketing team to distribute your published stories.

What You Need

• Experience reporting multi-source feature stories on complicated topics, between 2,000-4,000 words in length.
• An interest in startups and emerging technologies.
• A knack for breaking down complex, nuanced concepts and making them approachable through strategic use of examples, hypotheticals and other storytelling devices.
• An eye for detail and a collaborative mindset, and an ability to build rapport with sources quickly.

Impress Us Even More

• Past experience covering business news, startups or the tech ecosystem.
• Be familiar with explainers and other search-optimized service journalism formats.

What We Value

We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values:

• Be Inclusive, Always. We’re committed to a culture where all people are respected, have a say and can be their whole selves. We will uplift and advocate for one another. Always.
• Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
• Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead.
• Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.
• Lead With Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up.
• Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it and get back to business.
• Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes.

Be Inclusive, Always
