Full-Time YouTube Writer/Producer - Tech Channel
Location: Farmers Branch, TX (in-office)
If you're naturally curious about tech and find yourself going down rabbit holes, keep reading. We're Switch and Click, a YouTube channel reaching millions of viewers every month. We make videos about getting obsessed with tech, such as keyboards, Linux, setups, handheld gaming, and whatever rabbit hole comes next. We're a small team that's growing fast, and we're looking for a writer who's excited about tech and sharing it with the world.
What This Role Actually Is

- Test products and ideas
- Figure things out as you go
- Then turn that experience into a story people actually want to watch
Each video is something you own from start to finish.
