Open Call for Applications: Android, OS X, and Unity Team

Did you know we have over 50 Android, OS X, and Unity tutorials? This site is about more than just iOS.

To help us continue to expand our Android, OS X, and Unity tutorial offerings, we are currently recruiting some new Android, OS X, and Unity developers to join the tutorial team.

• The Android and Unity teams are looking for tech editors. Tech editors are incredibly important on our site – they are the guardians that makes sure each tutorial comes out is top-notch.
• The OS X team is looking for authors. This is your chance to give back to the community and influence the next generation of OS X developers!

Joining one of these teams is a great way to get your foot in the door on our team (and all the special opportunities that involves) – not to mention, getting paid to learn!

Time commitment for tech editors is 1 tech edit / month, and for writers 1 tutorial / 3 months, so it’s easy to fit in to your schedule.

If this sounds interesting, keep reading to find out what’s involved and how to apply!
