If you can proofread, edit and fact-check, we want to hire you

Job The Register is expanding in the States: we're seeking a full-time US Production Editor to work in our San Francisco bureau in California.

The successful applicant will work alongside our US editor and four reporters to prepare news, opinion and feature articles on the world of science and technology for our vast and knowledgeable readership.

We are a fiercely independent publication that strives to be accurate, informative, and entertaining. Our production journalists are key to maintaining this standard across theregister.com and its sister, channelregister.co.uk.

It is essential you have the ability to:

  • Proofread quickly but carefully to catch typos, spelling mistakes, tautologies, mixed metaphors, and similar errors.
  • Sharpen up sentences to The Register’s punchy style.
  • Write headlines, sub-headlines and picture captions to Register style.
  • During quiet moments, moderate comments from readers on articles.

Candidates with the following skills or knowledge will stand tall among the rest:

  • An excellent understanding of UK and US media law.
  • The ability to fact-check under pressure, from names of people and places to acronyms and statistics.
  • Excellent knowledge of the IT world and related engineering fields to aid fact-checking and improve articles with extra background information.

Millions follow our world-beating coverage of ray guns, atom smashers, killer robots, selected celebrities, zeppelins, space oddities, and garden-shed engineering breakthroughs, besides our daily reports on the professional IT world.

Interested? Please send your CV and (brief) covering remarks by email to cwilliams@theregister.co.uk. PGP is available. ®
