Reddit is looking for someone to build their iOS app

It isn't hyperbole to say that reddit has had a dramatic impact on the Internet since its birth in 2005. From political discussion to comedy to providing an occasionally creepy home for the net's dark side, reddit's reach includes almost every demographic of web surfer. There's just one hitch; the (currently) 59th biggest website in the world, the one that thrives on easy discussion and interaction, doesn't have a mobile app.

Users who are away from their computers are stuck navigating the web of text on the site via their tiny mobile device screens. Thankfully the era of an app-less reddit seems to be coming to an end. The company is hiring someone to bringing reddit to the iOS store.

In a post today the reddit told users exactly what they're looking for.

reddit is going mobile and hiring mobile app developers.
