Background:
dot.LA is the premier source of news and information for Los Angeles’ tech and startup community. Launched in January 2020, dot.LA has quickly built a sizable audience and become an influential outlet publishing stories on Southern California’s expanding tech, startup and venture capital ecosystem.
Role:
We are looking for an experienced part-time reporter to cover the intersection of finance and technology—from the venture capital funding that backs and sustains tech startups, to the rapidly growing realm of cryptocurrencies, NFTs and decentralized finance (DeFi). Southern California is home to a new wave of financial technology (fintech) companies that are upending the traditional paradigms of banking, investing and commerce, and we want an enterprising reporter who can shed light on the emerging issues and dynamics taking shape in this realm.
The successful candidate will be a creative, curious reporter who can generate clean, well-written copy and tap into the people and companies behind this new wave of tech-driven financial innovation. They will be able to thrive in a startup environment by bringing a unique perspective to the subjects they cover, and a strategic understanding of dot.LA place’s in a crowded tech media space. They should be excited to “roll up their sleeves'' and play different roles in a fast-paced newsroom, working alongside a team of fellow reporters, editors and social media producers.
Duties & Responsibilities:
- Pitch, report and write original articles relevant to the fintech, crypto and venture capital scenes in Los Angeles and Southern California.
- Contribute daily news articles on venture capital investments in Los Angeles- and Southern California-based startups.
- Contribute newsletter essays at least once (1) per week for dot.LA’s daily newsletter.
- Be available to work at least three (3) days per week between Monday and Friday.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree
- At least 3-5 years of experience as a journalist/reporter, preferably covering finance, tech, and/or business
- Clean news-writing skills and a knowledge of AP >

How do I get a job at DeFi?
Getting a job in the DeFi (decentralized finance) industry can be a competitive process, but there are a few steps you can take to increase your chances of finding a job in this field:
- Build up your skills and knowledge: To work in DeFi, you'll likely need to have a strong understanding of blockchain technology, as well as other related technologies such as smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Consider taking online courses or earning a degree in a relevant field to build up your skills and knowledge.
- Network with industry professionals: Attend meetups and conferences related to DeFi and make connections with professionals in the industry. Networking can be a valuable way to learn about job openings and get your foot in the door at a DeFi company.
- Create a strong online presence: Many DeFi companies will look at your online presence (such as your LinkedIn profile and personal website) when considering you for a job. Make sure to showcase your skills and accomplishments online and keep your profile up to date.
- Apply for relevant job openings: Keep an eye out for job openings at DeFi companies and apply for positions that align with your skills and experience. Apply for DeFi Jobs without Experience. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job you're applying for and highlight any relevant experience or skills you have.
- Consider internships or volunteer work: DeFi Internships or volunteer work can be a great way to get your foot in the door and gain valuable experience in the DeFi industry. Many companies also offer internships to students, so consider applying for an internship if you're still in school.
- Be persistent: keep trying if you don't get a job right away. It can take time to find the right opportunity, but with the right skills and determination, you can land a job in the DeFi industry.
