If something seems to be going on, how likely are you to want to find out what it is? If your answer is ‘not at all,’ then I’m impressed by your coolheaded freedom from desire, but you may not be the best fit for PC Gamer’s Associate Editor position. If, however, youlovefinding out what’s going on, especially when it involves digging under the surface for answers, then you should feel strongly encouraged toapply forPC Gamer’s open Associate Editor role.
For this job, we’re accepting applicants who live in the United States. The role can be based in our Atlanta or New York offices, or remote from certain states*, and is covered under the collective bargaining agreement between Future US and the Writers Guild of America East. You can finddetails on that contract here.
We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about PC gaming and excited to contribute to all aspects of PC Gamer, which includes uncovering and sharing news and stories from our hobby, interviewing game developers and community members, writing and editing criticism and reviews, maintaining our social media accounts, contributing to our print magazine, and arguing about where to put Kerbal Space Program on our yearlyTop 100list.
Our next Associate Editor will be involved in all of that and more, but don’t feel like you have to be a master of SEO or have comprehensive knowledge of obscure ’90s adventure games to apply. Tell us how your skills, knowledge, and perspective can make PC Gamer better, whatever they may be. You may be just who we’re looking for without knowing it.
One suggestion: Include links to a few relevant writing samples. (It’s totally fine if they’re published on a personal blog or uploaded to a Google Drive folder!)

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the ’80s and ’90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call “boomer shooters” now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that’s right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he’s focused on the site’s news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
