About Us

We are Razeware: the company behind raywenderlich.com. We are a very small company, with just 15 full-time team members including me and my wife Vicki. Here’s a picture of us from our recent company retreat:

One of the cool things about Razeware is it’s not just us. We’re joined by a friendly supportive community of 200 part-time mobile developers from around the world, and together we love to learn new things and share our knowledge.

Over the past 8 years, together we have created over 3,000 videos, 2,000 tutorials, and 40 books. Our products have made a difference in the lives of thousands of developers, helping them to get their first job as a mobile developer, grow their careers, or create the app of their dreams.

Our Values

I think if you want to work somewhere, it’s important what the values of the company are. Here are ours:

• High quality work. Our goal is to create the highest quality tutorials on the Internet.
• Learn & share. We love to learn new things, and share that knowledge with others.
• Support each other. We are a friendly and supportive community. We work as a team, and lift each other up.
• Iterate. We continually improve on everything that we do.

You’ll find we have a unique culture. A team member described it really well in our recent 1 on 1: “It’s all about people; we have such amazing people. Everyone is so kind and caring, and working together to a common goal. If someone has trouble, someone else will step in to help. It will never be ‘I can’t do that’, but ‘I’ll help you out to make things better.'”

Razeware is a fully-remote company, and we embrace it in everything we do. We favor strong and transparent communication, working asynchronously and autonomously, and support extremely flexible work schedules.

About the Job

As a video instructor, you will create high quality video courses for our site. To start, you will be focusing on creating courses on all aspects of Android and Flutter development, including:

• Beginner topics: You will help us keep the courses in our Android Learning path continuously up-to-date, and help develop a similar learning path for Flutter.
• Advanced topics: You also help us create courses on advanced topics, similar to Jetpack Compose Primer, Kotlin/Native and Multiplatform, MVVM on Android, or Flutter Navigation.

In the future, you may have the opportunity to create courses on iOS, Server Side Swift, or other platforms, but to start the area we need the most help in is Android and Flutter courses.

To create your courses, you will go through all the steps it takes to create an incredible course, from writing an outline, to making sample projects, to creating scripts, to making visual aids, to recording your lectures and demos. You’ll also set up your own recording studio so you can record from the comfort of your own home!
