We’re hiring a writer to cover video games and gadgets

VentureBeat and GamesBeat is hiring a writer to put a magnifying glass on video games and gadgets — and how technology intersects them.

The games/gadget writer leads the coverage of gadgets for both sides of the site and also is the face for GamesBeat in San Francisco, taking meetings with game developers and publishers to see new games, doing interviews for news and feature coverage, and more for stories on GamesBeat. Gaming hits both the consumer electronics world and the game industry, and this writer will cover how gadgets and games do this — for example, virtual reality is big in games right now, but its use outside gaming will only grow over the next few years.
