Open Call for Authors and Tech Editors on the Server-Side Swift Team

5 mins

We’re recruiting a handful of experienced and knowledgeable Server-Side Swift developers to help us grow the team and provide even more new Server-Side Swift content to you.

We have a few Server-Side Swift author and tech editor positions available, so if you’re an experienced Server-Side Swift developer, you may be just who we’re looking for.

Note: These are paid, part-time contract positions that you can do on your own schedule.

What are the Requirements and Time Commitments?

Swift Resume

If you love learning new things and teaching people about them, this may be for you.

* Time commitment: about 3-4 tutorials every year.

  1. Tech Editor: Tech editors are the pillars that hold up our site. They’re the guardians that make sure that each tutorial that comes out of our team is top-notch. If you’re a senior developer, have strong attention to detail, and enjoy getting paid to learn, this may be for you.
  2. Time commitment: 3–4 tech edits per year. Each tutorial goes through a 4-week writing phase including outline, sample project, and tutorial writeup.
  3. Author: Authors focus on writing new high quality tutorials, and updating existing tutorials. We prefer to write about topics of interest to a wide audience – especially on particularly hot topics, demonstrating brand new APIs, cool techniques, and more.
  4. Experienced Server-Side Swift Developer.
  5. You should be a good writer with very fluent English writing skills.
  6. You should be comfortable learning about brand new topics that you’ve never done before; some of which may be poorly documented or not documented at all.
  7. You should have a strong work ethic. This will be a significant time commitment and you must be able to deliver on deadline.

  6. Make a Difference: We get emails every day about how our tutorials help our readers make their first app, get their dream job or accomplish a lifelong dream of making their own game. This means a lot to us, and it makes all the hard work worth it!
  7. Free Stuff: As a final bonus, by joining the Tutorial Team you’ll get a free copy of all of the products we sell on the site.

What is the Tryout Process Like?

For the tech editor tryout, you’ll be given a mock tutorial to edit. Applying your Server-Side Swift skills and information in our guides, you’ll edit a tutorial we send you so we can gauge your editing skills. If you pass the tech editor tryout, you’re in! You can be on the team in about a week.

Applying to be an author requires writing a sample tutorial to gauge your writing skills in addition to Server-Side Swift skills and adherence to our guides. You must be able to write very fluently in English.
