MakerBot Industries

We are looking for a blogger at MakerBot who has the chops to write fantastic blog posts about the latest and greatest in the personal manufacturing space, be able to write up project documentation, and create and document great projects with the latest MakerBot gear. It wouldn’t hurt to be obsessed with MakerBot already, but what we really care about is that you have writing skills and can write with wit, keep things concise, have a personal voice and have some tinkering skills. Professional experience isn’t necessary (though it doesn’t hurt), what we really care about is that you can write! If you’ve got experience taking great photos and editing up video, that’s a bonus! We’re looking for a blogger in the New York City area because we actually want you here writing about things that are happening at the Botcave in Brooklyn!

Here’s what the gig is:

• Writing for the MakerBot blog. A mix of original writing, posts that spotlight the awesomeness of the MakerBot community, and posts that track the latest developments on Thingiverse and in the world of personal manufacturing.
• Writing copy for MakerBot product launches on the MakerBot Wiki and in the MakerBot store.
• Building new MakerBot products, creating projects with those products, and documenting the process.

Sound good? Here’s what you need to send in to apply:

2 writing samples of blog posts written by you.
These sample posts can be about whatever you want that somehow relates to personal manufacturing or MakerBot in your own words. We love robots, but don’t want you to sound like you are one. We won’t be using these on the site, we just want to get a sense of how well you can write.

Tell us your favorite thing on Thingiverse.com and why.

Photo and Video: If you have experience with video and photography, send us a link to your work on the internet.

Tell us about You

• A few words about yourself. (Sorry, but due to legalities, we can’t hire minors.)
• Give us a few words about what gets you excited about writing for MakerBot.
• Your contact info
• How much time you have per week to commit to the gig. If it’s less than 20 hours, then you probably shouldn’t bother. Be realistic, okay?
• Any questions you might have about the job.

What not to do: Don’t just send us attachments or resumes. Also, reminder, we are accepting applicants who live in or around the NYC area.

If this all sounds awesome, email your information to blogger@makerbot.com.
