  • Write in-depth features on the businesses and individuals driving change in AI.
  • Build and nurture relationships with sources to land key interviews and profile industry leaders.
  • Cut through the noise to identify what's truly impactful versus overhyped in the tech world.
  • Work closely with colleagues to ensure every story meets TechCrunch's high standards.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience as a business or tech reporter, with a proven track record of breaking news.
  • Strong interest in technology trends, key players, and the evolving AI landscape.
