About Snappr News
Snappr is the one-stop-shop for visual content for brands, including the largest on-demand marketplace for photographers and videographers. Snappr News is a new product line: an editorial photo and video product launching in 2026, starting with technology news in the San Francisco Bay Area. We will cover the top tech stories of the day with stunning visuals that can’t be found anywhere else. You’ll play a leading role in shaping the product and business model from the ground up, and helping define how the world gets visuals for the moments that matter.


The Role
You’ll cover broad tech news and tech’s impact across San Francisco and the Bay Area: companies, founders, workers, money, culture, policy, and the on-the-ground moments that explain what’s actually happening - beyond the press releases.
This is a photo and video role (if you don’t want to shoot video, this might not be a good fit). You won’t need to edit - we have a whole backend platform for that!



What You'll Do:
  • Report visually in the field: breaking news, events, portraits, features, and “tech meets real life” stories.
  • Deliver fast: often same-day, frequently within hours, occasionally immediately when news breaks.
  • Produce both photo and video on assignment: from quick hit coverage to short-form storytelling.
  • Write complete, accurate captions for every photo/video: names, titles, dates, locations, context - no guessing. Use AI tools responsibly to speed up your writing and tagging without sacrificing quality.
  • Tag and package everything correctly in the proprietary Snappr News app: keywords, locations, people/companies, and legal information.
  • Operate according to photojournalistic ethics and standards.
  • Travel when needed: occasional out-of-town tech events (expenses covered)

Must-Haves:
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating news/event coverage + portraits + real moments (not just pretty pictures).
  • Strong video shooting skills.
  • Extreme attention to detail: captions, names, titles, tagging, and deadlines.
  • Charismatic and love meeting new people.
  • Calm under pressure.
  • Patient.

Strong Preference:
  • Motorbike license (or willing to get one). You’ll move faster and catch more stories in San Francisco with two wheels. We have company bikes.
Years of Experience
  • We’re not too fussed about this. We care so much more about your raw abilities and your portfolio, even if limited, over years in the field. We are planning to be a disruptive force in the news and editorial industry, so experience with traditional players can in some ways be a disadvantage. We are open to being someone’s first big break and are open to early-career folks.
Gear
We provide top-end gear. If you prefer, we will consider allowing you to use your own kit if it’s full-frame and compatible with our hardware and remote transfer requirements.

Office
When you’re not out shooting, you’ll be based out of our office in downtown San Francisco.

Schedule
Mostly Mon-Fri, with occasional weekend assignments and on-call. Must be flexible for evening events and fast-breaking coverage.

Compensation & Benefits
•$50,000 to $80,000 USD base, depending on experience.
•$10,000 to $20,000 USD performance bonus.
•Generous equity.
•Healthcare
•20 days PTO/year.
•Approved travel expenses covered where needed.
