The Requirements

The requirements are very high for this position. Here are what I consider the Five Essential Qualities:

  1. Advanced-level iOS developer. You must be an advanced-level iOS developer for this position. We are looking for someone with 3+ years full-time iOS experience (and 5+ years full-time overall programming experience), that has worked on several apps in the App Store and is up-to-date with their iOS skills.
  2. A good leader. You must have demonstrated experience as a leader to be successful in this position. You are probably the kind of person who is a team lead in your current job, and who is friendly and patient when working with others.
  3. Love for both apps and games. Remember, at raywenderlich.com we are focused on both app and game tutorials. So to be successful, you need to have an interest in both sides. Ideally, you are a gamer at heart – video games, board games, and/or RPG games.
  4. Well read. To be successful as the Editor-in-Chief, you must be the type of person who stays up-to-date with the latest iOS development news. You probably read a lot of blogs, check out a lot of open source libraries, read a lot of books, and listen to a lot of podcasts.
  5. In for the long haul. You are going to be one of the first full-time members at Razeware LLC, beyond Vicki, Brian, and myself. As such, you will be incredibly important with respect to how this company and this website fare in the long run. I am looking for someone who really believes in what we’re trying to accomplish, and who wants to be part of this for the long haul as this company grows.
