About the role:
As a writer, you’ll work with a team of editors and analysts to tear down mobile game releases, provide game design analysis, and examine market trends. Your work will be published in reports that go out to thousands of subscribers from the biggest game developers in the world.
Writing at Liquid & Grit is hard. It requires a unique combination of technical chops, creative insights, and conversational style. But for the right candidate, it’s an amazing position. If you like having autonomy, setting your own schedule, and putting out great products, you might like working with us.
This is a remote contract position for consistent, ongoing work: 20–25 hours per week at $40/hour. The more versatile your skills, the more work we’ll be able to give you.
About Liquid & Grit:
Liquid & Grit (https://www.liquidandgrit.com/) provides analysis for leading mobile game developers. We break down popular apps like AFK Arena, Candy Crush Saga, and Slotomania to see what makes them work and help make them even better. We are located in California but have an entirely remote workforce.
We are a unique company that hires almost exclusively based on tests. This allows us to find the most talented candidates regardless of education or experience. If you pass the test, you’ll get hired for a trial period at the full rate of $40/hour.
Hiring process:
We hire using tests so that we ensure that we hire based on your abilities. This is the first test. There are usually three tests and the process takes less than two weeks. After the tests, we typically hire 2-3 people to start working on actual projects to see how you do on our team. From there, we will select at least 1 person.
The tests are similar to what you would be doing during your work with us—so it's a good opportunity for you to see what work is like. Once hired, you will still be in a “hiring period” for several weeks as we further evaluate your abilities within our team.
Location:
We are located in California but have an entirely remote workforce (and have for years). This role is a contract role that will be done remotely—meaning you can work wherever you want—but it will be ongoing, consistent work.
About you:
You are diligent, disciplined, and smart. You want to have autonomy and do great work that you are proud of. You can manage your own time and you pay attention to details. You are a fast learner and enjoy the challenge of figuring things out. You play some games (you do not have to be a hardcore gamer, but it helps to know games).
What we offer:
$40/hour starting rate
Respect for your time and labor
The ability to set your own schedule and availability
Recurring assignments with reliable hours
A collaborative and friendly working environment
Opportunities to grow
The ideal applicant:
Is an all-star writer
Works autonomously
Has a solid understanding of game design
Can perform research in a variety of fields
Isn’t afraid of some light number-crunching
Is familiar with Google Docs
Bonus: Has basic visual design skills and experience with Keynote
