Hello Raptr Fans! I’m Nick, and I’m the new product manager at Raptr.  In my past life, I was at Yahoo!, where I was a product manager on del.icio.us.  As a lifelong gamer and social software expert, I’m really excited about what we’re doing to bring gamers together and help them find the best games for them, regardless of whether they’re hardcore or casual.

I came here because at Raptr, they realize that all gamers are not alike.  Just about everyone plays some sort of video game.  Since Pong launched in 1972, generations of gamers now play an incredibly wide array of games on the internet, PC’s, handhelds, and consoles.  Some people play for hours a day on their PC’s and consoles, others only play a couple times a month on the internet, with a whole range of folks in between.  I’ll be helping to build Raptr for all those people- because we think there are some interesting problems around discovery and connectedness that all gamers face, and I think we’re in a great position to solve those problems.

I’m psyched.  If you find the idea of building the next generation social application for gamers intriguing, shoot us an email at jobs@raptr.com.  We’re looking for a PHP/Webdev and a QA Automation engineer.  Please send your resumes- then you’ll get the “honor” of being the “new guy”!
