Job description

 This position will operate on a remote, freelance basis.
We’re looking for Freelance Tech Writers to contribute feature content to our Smart Home category at Valnet's Tech sites! 

This role is ideal for writers who enjoy testing devices, exploring platforms, and explaining how connected home tech actually works in the real world.

You’ll be creating practical, reader-first content that helps everyday users set up, optimize, and troubleshoot their smart homes, whether they’re beginners or power users.

What You’ll Be Writing About

Our smart home coverage includes (but is not limited to):

  • Smart lighting, plugs, switches, thermostats, cameras, locks, and sensors
  • Automation routines, scenes, and integrations
  • Setup guides, troubleshooting walkthroughs, and feature explainers
  • Tips and tricks that help readers get more value from their connected devices
Responsibilities
  • Write original, well-researched smart home feature articles
  • Pitch timely, practical story ideas that align with reader needs
  • Explain technical concepts clearly for non-technical audiences
  • Test devices, platforms, or features when applicable
  • Meet deadlines and maintain a consistent freelance output
  • Work closely with editors and apply feedback as needed
What We’re Looking For
  • Proven experience writing about smart home technology or consumer tech (published bylines required)
  • Hands-on familiarity with smart home devices, platforms, or automation tools
  • Strong ability to break down complex setups into clear, step-by-step guidance
  • Open to editorial direction and headline optimization
  • Passion for connected home technology and emerging trends

Application Requirements

  • CV
  • Cover Letter
    • In your cover letter, please address the following questions:
      • Why do you want to write for us?
      • What makes you the right fit for this role? (You can touch upon previous experience and your passion for all things Smart Home related)
  • Screening Questions
  • Links to previously published work


We will get back to you as soon as possible if we think you'd make a solid addition to the team!
