Ten months ago we started the Hack Upstate blog with one simple objective: To create helpful content and share it with a passionate and growing tech community.

To be honest we initially didn’t expect much. However, we’ve been remarkably surprised by the rate at which readership has grown and the amount of positive feedback we’ve received.

Consequently, we are actively looking for part-time writers interested in creating helpful technical and engineering related content, tutorials and walkthroughs (here’s a good example). Those interested will be compensated and have 100% full autonomy when it comes to determining the subject matter they cover.

  • You’re passionate about STEM
  • You get excited about learning new things and sharing your experiences
  • You write well and enjoy opportunities to grow as a writer each and every day
  • You can take complex ideas, break them down, and relay them as cogent and concise pieces of digestible information
  • You can collaborate well and thrive virtually with a distributed team
  • You’re excited about developer evangelism and hacker culture

  • You have empathetic sensibilities
