Rap Genius has come a long way: we've launched separate sites for news, poetry, and rock (http://newsgenius.com, http://poetrygenius.com, http://rockgenius.com). We've verified everyone from Sheryl Sandberg (http://goo.gl/HbN6U) to Teju Cole (http://goo.gl/MH3dW) to the ACLU (http://goo.gl/PofXg). But we still have no mobile apps!<p>Which is crazy because our mobile presence is arguably the most important part of the product. Someday, for the majority of our users, Rap Genius will literally BE "that app".. and many of those users will be famous musicians and authors!<p>You see, right now is a very special time to be a Rap Genius iOS developer. You get to build the first version of a highly-anticipated app that will be advertised to millions of people every month on our mobile website (12M+ monthly mobile uniques), we're lavishly funded (http://goo.gl/tm73s) so you'll eat a ton of sushi, ANDDD since our engineering team is only 6 people you'll still have the chance to experience the "small team" vibe and help pick everyone else who works here / "define the culture"<p>So if you're a really talented iOS developer and you're interested, hit up jobs@rapgenius.com with:<p>1. Your name and online identity – i.e., your Twitter, Github, Blog, Stackoverflow account, personal website, etc. The more info the better.<p>2. Location – only apply if you live in NYC or are willing to relocate (our office is in Williamsburg: http://goo.gl/nnkez)<p>3. Educational background and most recent job (or just send your resume or whatever)<p>4. A little bit about your technical background, including something brief about what you like and dislike about the technologies you’ve used.<p>5. If you come in for an interview, you’ll start by making a short technical presentation to the team and taking their questions. Generally this takes the form of “throw up a screenful of code and explain what it does / why it’s cool”, tho I’m down for whatever as long as it’s technical. What will you present?<p>6. THE MOST IMPORTANT: What have you built online that you’re proud of? Any cool designs to show off? Maybe send some code?<p>More deets on the job – it has some pretty serious bennies!:<p>- SICK salary & equity. You won’t be taking a pay cut to work here (unless you're an MD at a hedge fund..)<p>- Free bomb health insurance<p>- Unlimited free Seamless<p>- Gym in the building<p>- Whatever computer setup you want<p>- Free bike parking in the building<p>- We pay your phone bill and when you join we’ll upgrade you to the newest iPhone (or, IF YOU INSIST, Droid)<p>MUCH LOVE
