geek

Think you have the perfect combination of geek knowledge and writing skills? We’re looking for an experienced, security-focused writer to join our team.

认为您将怪胎知识和写作技能完美结合了吗？我们正在寻找经验丰富，注重安全性的作家加入我们的团队。

我们在寻找什么 (What We’re Looking For)

We are looking for an experienced writer and security expert to cover how-to guides and explainers in the realm of infosec from a consumer standpoint. You’ll need to be able to distill complex subjects into friendly explainers or guides, discussing everything from malware to VPNs to encryption and everything in between. We are not looking for writers that focus solely on Linux or tech news, though occasionally security topics may deal with something that’s been in the news (for example, major bugs like Heartbleed.)

我们正在寻找一个经验丰富的作家和安全专家，从消费者的角度介绍信息安全领域的操作指南和解释器。您需要能够将复杂的主题提炼成友好的讲解器或指南，讨论从恶意软件到VPN到加密以及介于两者之间的所有内容。我们并不是在寻找只关注Linux或技术新闻的作家，尽管有时安全性主题可能会处理新闻中一直存在的问题(例如，诸如Heartbleed之类的主要错误)。

Ideally, we’d like someone willing to come on full-time, but we are open to part-time writers as well. You’re also welcome to start as part-time to see if it’s a good fit, before making the jump to full time.

理想情况下，我们希望有人愿意全职参加，但我们也对兼职作家开放。也欢迎您从兼职开始，看看是否合适，然后再跳到全职。

All of our writers need to have the following qualities:

我们所有的作家都需要具备以下素质：

You must be a geek at heart, always looking to learn more about technology and make your gadgets work better.
您必须是一个内心的极客，总是希望学习更多有关技术的知识，并使您的小工具更好地工作。
You must be able to write tips, how-to articles, and explainers about complex topics that are clear and easy to understand, even to non-experts. Again, we are not looking for news writers!
您必须能够撰写清晰，易于理解的复杂主题的技巧，入门文章和解释器，甚至对于非专家也是如此。 同样，我们不寻找新闻撰稿人！
You must be creative, and have the ability to generate article ideas, take suggestions, and make topics interesting and exciting.
您必须具有创造力，并具有产生文章想法，提出建议并使主题有趣和令人兴奋的能力。
You must be at least 18 years old and have your own computer.
您必须年满18岁并拥有自己的计算机。
You must have solid English writing skills, and ideally professional writing experience.
您必须具有扎实的英语写作能力，以及理想的专业写作经验。
You should have some basic screenshot and image editing chops. HTML skills are a plus.
您应该具有一些基本的屏幕截图和图像编辑印章。具有HTML技能者优先。

Here’s a couple of examples of recent security-focused articles–from our own site and others–that demonstrate what we’re looking for in terms of quality and content. Please make sure to look through these before you decide to apply:

这是我们自己的站点和其他站点上近期针对安全性的文章的几个示例，它们展示了我们在质量和内容方面正在寻找的东西。在决定申请之前，请务必仔细阅读以下内容：
