Are you as intrigued by the mayoral race as you are curious about congressional leaders’ insane snack budgets? Are you bracing for the food truck showdown? Can you believe what Amazon sometimes mistakenly ships? And do you want to join the team at DCist? We’re hiring an editor with reporting and blogging skills who can cover a range of topics, from hard news to arts and food.

Responsibilities will include: Producing a healthy mix of informative and engaging blogging/aggregation posts; some original reporting; and editing stories written by others. You should be as comfortable reporting—pestering public officials, tracking down sources—as you are musing about illustrious panda progeny and how homes are cheaper in Brooklyn.

This is a paid, full-time position, with fully covered medical, dental and vision benefits. As the main Gothamist office is in NYC, the new DCist editor will work from home (or wherever there’s WiFi). Days and hours may vary from a normal 9-to-5 job. The ideal candidate MUST be versatile and knowledgeable about D.C.

Requirements: at least one year of full-time blogging experience, an instinct for what’s newsworthy and the skills to report it out, a ferocious drive and piercing wit, a deep and abiding interest in Washington, D.C., and the stamina to create 6-8 well-written and interesting posts per day while managing the flow of pieces from other contributors.

If you’re interested, send a brief email with a summary of your experience and relevant links to jobs@gothamist.com, subject “DCist editor.” No attachments, please.
