Who Should Apply
The right fit has a track record of producing newsletters that people actually open, with samples that show clear, substantive writing about technology. You should be comfortable explaining technical topics like AI evaluation benchmarks to a smart but non-specialist audience. This role is not ideal for someone who wants tight editorial oversight or a predefined content calendar; you'll define the process and tone. Candidates often get rejected for submitting writing samples unrelated to AI or tech, or for failing to show measurable results like open-rate growth or subscriber milestones.
Salary Insight
Pay is $45-$50 per hour, depending on experience, for roughly 20 hours per week. The rate is set, so no other compensation negotiations are mentioned; expect to discuss exact pay during the hiring process.

If you've never run a newsletter, create a short sample issue on an AI agent testing topic to show your ability to make it clear and engaging.
