About
Pirate Wires is a new media company covering the intersection of tech, politics, and culture.

READ THIS PLS: before you apply, please skim at least 20 of our headlines. If you read them, you noticed that we're ideologically right of center, not boring, not too conservative, definitely not politically correct, kinda funny, pretty combative, opinionated, pro-humanity, and big fans of technological progress. If that's not your vibe, no hard feelings but hopefully we just saved both of us a dead-end email thread and zoom call.

Anyway. Pirate Wires is a venture-funded media company founded by Mike Solana (https://x.com/micsolana). Read what Business Insider has to say (https://www.businessinsider.com/silicon-valley-tech-industry-war-against-media-journalists-podcasts-broletariat-2024-7) and what The Atlantic has to say (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/10/mike-solana-pirate-wires/680355/)

We are looking to hire our first full-time Head of Design. As the sole designer at an 8-person startup, you will be fully responsible for all of our design needs. This includes: art for every article we publish, social media creatives, ongoing branding, ongoing merch design, and ideally ongoing website design as it is needed for updates.
*
The ideal candidate:
- low ego
- great taste (non-negotiable)
- good range
- fast. (occasionally stories have a 60-minute lead time)
- high agency (you won't need your hand held)
In-person NYC is best; remote okay for outstanding talent.
