Job description

Location: Farmers Branch, TX (in-office) Pay: $50,000–$7 5,000/year depending on experience level (see below)

• 401k
• Health Insurance
• Good Holiday Calendar (even strange ones like President's Day)
• 10 Days Paid Vacation
• Free Expensive Tech (when we're done filming it)

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, monitors, home theatres, gaming, 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.

We hire writers across experience levels, so whether you're early in your writing career or you've been doing this for years, there's an opportunity here:

• Junior Writer (under ~2 years' experience, interest in tech): $50,000–$65,000. You'll develop your craft and learn our voice with senior writers alongside you.
• Writer (2+ years writing, strong interest in tech): $65,000–$75,000. You independently own scripts start to finish, juggle multiple projects at once, and bring technical depth in two or three areas.

The years above are a rough guide, not a hard limit. If you're working here and picking it up fast and

Proven contributors who stay and demonstrably grow the channel can earn into revenue share and profit shares over time.

This role is 100% in-office when you’re first starting. But once you’ve built trust, mastered our voice, and shown you can reliably hit your weekly script cadence, we are open to stair-stepping into a hybrid/semi-remote schedule.

Due to having to test and film physical tech, there will always be some in-office work required.

But we care about great videos and meeting deadlines, not forcing people to sit in traffic every day.

What This Role Actually Is

This is not a traditional writing job. You won't just be handed topics and asked to explain them.

You will:

• Come up with your own ideas
• 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.

How We Work

We're a small team. There's no corporate structure or micromanagement.

You’ll do well here if you:

• Take initiative without waiting to be told what to do next
• Are comfortable figuring things out without perfect instructions
• Communicate early when something isn’t working
• Can manage your own time and deadlines

This role may not be a good fit if you:

• Prefer clearly defined tasks every day
• Need constant direction to move forward
• Wait for problems to fix themselves instead of addressing them

Performance Expectations

• Produce one long-form script per week (15–20 minutes), ramped up over your first few weeks
• Take feedback and apply it quickly
• Show consistent improvement over time
• You don't need to be perfect on day one, but you do need to keep getting better.

What You’ll Do

• Research, test, and explore tech topics
• Turn messy ideas into clear, engaging YouTube scripts
• Come up with ideas that fit our audience
• Work with editors to bring your videos to life
• Give feedback on edits, pacing, and storytelling
• Occasionally help plan visuals or shot lists

What We’re Looking For

• You're interested in tech, this matters most
• You naturally go down rabbit holes and enjoy figuring things out
• You can explain complex ideas in a simple way
• You can write, formal or informal experience both count
• You're comfortable receiving and applying feedback

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience writing YouTube scripts
• Experience creating content (any platform)
• Familiarity with topics like Linux, setups, networking, and handhelds

Why Work With Us

• Your work actually gets seen by millions
• Real ownership over what you create
• You'll improve fast through hands-on work and direct feedback
• A clear path to grow into Senior Writer
• You'll work on things that are genuinely interesting

About AI (Since You’re Probably Wondering)

If you’ve watched writing jobs get swallowed by AI and you’re wondering whether this is one of them, it’s not.

This role exists because it’s about capturing real experiences.

That means encountering problems, hitting dead ends, and turning that lived experience into a story people actually want to watch.

We also won’t make you write with AI. We use it in parts of the business, operations and back-office work, catching errors in our work, but not for the actual writing parts.

• Pay: $50,000–$75,000 (plus a higher ceiling with profit shares, rev shares, and more).
• Vacation and holidays
• Access to the latest and greatest tech gear
• A small team where your ideas actually matter
• Relocation Assistance: If you live outside the DFW area but you are the perfect fit for this role, we are open to helping you make the move to Texas.
