Contributor
About the Role
Technically is always looking for contributors to write and produce video. Our beat explains what tech companies do, how software and AI work, and how people can get more technical. Existing contributors cover everything from how open models work to what a harness is.
This is a great fit if you're a working practitioner (in PM, GTM, investing, etc) who's learned technical concepts and wants to share that experience with others. Or if you're just a domain expert who likes to teach.
Don't stress about being a "great writer" to start off with. We all start somewhere - as long as you have something you'd like to say, we can help you communicate it crisply.
What We're Looking For
- Clear communicator: Can explain complex topics simply ("Explain Like I'm 5")
- Technically curious: Interested in how software + AI works
- Opinionated: Willing to offer takes on technologies, tech companies + categories
- Available: Able to commit to producing one piece per month
AI Contributions
Every article we publish on Technically is written by hand, by a human being. We do not accept AI written contributions, and we do not accept contributions written by AI agents acting on behalf of a human. If you send us either of these, we will shame you publicly on social media.
Compensation
$500 per contribution. You get paid whether we publish or not. But like, if it's good we'll publish it.
