Job Description:

Y Combinator is looking for an Editorial Researcher to join the YC Media team. We make content for people who are curious about startups, technology, AI, science, and the future. That includes videos and podcasts, essays, original research, and new projects built around the enormous amount of knowledge and data that exists inside YC.

We're looking for someone who is unusually curious, technically inclined, and a very good writer. You should be able to understand a complicated idea, figure out what's actually interesting about it, and explain it simply without dumbing it down.

This isn't a traditional writing or editing job. You'll research stories, analyze data, develop ideas with YC partners and founders, help shape videos and podcasts, write and edit articles, and experiment with new kinds of editorial projects.
