The Details

Mashable is seeking a passionate, talented reporter to broaden our coverage of gaming and esports. The ideal candidate is an expert in a variety of games like GTA, Zelda, League of Legends, Street Fighter, Dota 2, Pokémon and wherever else their own personal obsessions may lie.

We’re looking for a reporter who can comfortably navigate those worlds and communities, speaking both to the games themselves as well as the players who play them. We’re interested in covering the growing culture surrounding gaming and esports as much as the in-game action.
