Cybersport.ru is seeking a news writer specializing in games and geek culture. We are excited to welcome a passionate gamer to our team, someone whose ideal evening is spent with Dark Souls, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, or GTA V, and who is eager to share this passion with our audience.
The news writer will be responsible for independently monitoring the information flow, identifying trending topics in the video game world, and quickly creating short news pieces. We expect our future colleague to demonstrate both high work speed and creativity, capable of making even the most mundane event interesting for the reader.
The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of the gaming industry, follow all the latest releases, and possess a powerful PC capable of running any game without technical issues. Having a PS5 is also desirable.
This full-time position offers remote work. Work schedule preferences can be discussed to accommodate your time zone.
To apply, please send your application to [email protected], Telegram (@machinae), or VKontakte. Please include your resume or a detailed description of your experience and career, along with the completed test assignment.
Test Assignment:
- Review the latest game news on Cybersport.ru and write your own news piece in the same style. Pay attention to our headlines and vocabulary – this is the style you will be working in. Choose a news topic that you believe will be of interest to a broad audience, and briefly explain your choice.
- Write a short article (3-5 thousand characters) about three games expected before the end of 2025, or propose your own industry-related topic and elaborate on it. This material will not be published on Cybersport.ru; it is solely for evaluating your writing style. Note that a less strict, non-news style is acceptable and even encouraged in these articles.
- Describe your video game preferences. What are your favorite games? What are you playing now? What are you looking forward to? And what are you potentially dissatisfied with in the modern gaming industry? Don`t treat this as a questionnaire – simply share your love for games in a free-form manner!
