We're proud to announce the launch of our new iPad magazine, Huffington. With nearly 500 editors and reporters who produce between 70 and 80 original reported stories each day, Huffington is our way of putting the best content together in a new, weekly magazine app for a slower, more in-depth Huffington Post experience.

Available in the App Store Newsstand today, Huffington incorporates Huffington Post's unmatched live commenting and other social engagement tools to allow for greater reader participation in richly detailed and probing narratives -- while also showcasing HuffPost's brand of Pulitzer Prize-winning feature writing. Huffington's elegant design takes full advantage of the iPad's signature Retina display, offering our audience a crisp reading experience, vibrant photography, and stunning graphics.

Each week, Huffington will lead off with a primer on the news of the week, enticing Q&As, powerful photo essays, sophisticated data visualizations, top-tier commentary, and notable quotes from the HuffPost community. Long-form journalism anchors the core of the magazine, with carefully-crafted features exploring a broad range of topics including politics, business, entertainment, technology, foreign affairs, the environment, sports, religion, and relationships.

Hi, my name is Sabrina, and I'm a recruiter on the AOL Talent Acquisition team. I'm excited to be the first to contribute to a new series for the AOL Blog that we're calling "Heroes Wanted." The series aims to bring you some of the most exciting employment opportunities within the many teams at AOL. This first post goes in search of heroes to join our Mobile development team, who build some of the most fun and well-regarded mobile products in the business!

In a world where millions of people use our products every month*, we rely on the power and pluck of the mobile software engineers to save the day. You were put on this earth to make a difference and we want to harness, develop and foster your skills and talent to help you achieve that goal. We are focused on the future. We have a solid plan in place to become the largest online content provider in the world and we're making strides every day. But what I truly think differentiates us from other companies are our people. We collaborate and work as a team creating a real sense of community.

We're searching for developers that are passionate about mobile technology. We have a dynamic team full of creative, ingenious AOLers that work hard and play hard. They've already made amazing products like my personal favorites Moviefone for iPad, Engadget Distro and AOL Play. To win the war on bad applications, we are on a mission to find the few, the proud, the super-talented. Our goal is to build intuitive and engaging mobile applications that even your parents can use. This means solving complex, unique and large-scale problems, working with a passionate team and creating compelling apps for the Android and iOS platforms. You'll battle dark forces daily and continually improve processes and tools to make the web a better place for all civilians.

Think you have what it takes? Can you answer Yes to all of the following questions?

• I have built high quality web applications that were published in the Android Market/Google Play and/or the Apple AppStore. I'll tell you all about them.
• When I build applications, I always consider how to create a great end-user experience because if I don't look out for those little guys, who will?
• I have a passion for mobile device technologies and a desire to increase my cadre of technology powers.
• I enjoy working within a league of other code heroes. Building apps is a team sport and I excel at communications – especially with team members and product or business owners.

Larry Sadler understands how a physical space can inspire creativity and reflect a culture of collaboration. As Senior Facilities Manager, Larry incorporates these attributes into the overall design and layout of AOL's headquarters and Patch's New York City offices, overseeing the day-to-day operations as well as the holistic design and implementation of new renovations.

An AOLer for over fifteen years, Larry started his career with the company as a community action team consultant, our version of an online police officer, working out of AOL's Oklahoma City call center. During Larry's long career at AOL he transitioned to the Facilities team to manage global call center facility operations and oversee multiple major construction and renovation projects. Larry slowly began to shift his role from global call center operations to International operations, supporting AOL locations in China, France, Germany, India, Ireland and the United Kingdom. In this role, he continued to oversee operations and project management before relocating to New York City to manage AOL's headquarters and other New York City facilities in January 2010.

When discussing AOL's office designs, Larry cites that his goal is always to create an environment of collaboration that reflects AOL's values and incorporates its branding. Integrating functional meeting spaces to host a variety of onsite events, branding open spaces with AOL Artists' canvases and showcasing the products and services that AOL produces in common areas for visitors are all ways that Larry integrates AOL's culture into a creative work space.

Never one to back down from a challenge, shortly after the acquisition of The Huffington Post, Larry and his team had only two weekends to support the renovation of the 5th floor and accommodate the new The Huffington Post Media Group. It was a difficult and complex process, given the time constraint, to actually implement and execute the design and ensure that the space would be fully operational for the new HPMG team. A little over a year later, Larry and his team are now working on different ways to continue to improve the space. "We are now in the process of reevaluating the newsroom to make it feel homier. Our goal is to make the space more functional, collaborative and comfortable for the entire 5th floor teams."

As AOL continues to change and grow, Larry and his team are also focused on reducing office costs by looking for the most energy efficient solutions. "The [AOL Headquarters] building was designed as a LEED gold certified building, so the electrical and mechanical systems in place are already designed for efficiencies. We've made sure to maintain the infrastructure and implement those systems into all of our new work and construction."

Outside of work Larry enjoys riding motorcycles on the open road. Every year, he rides about 3,000 miles in two weeks with friends and families, taking the back roads of the country while enjoying the beautiful mountains and scenery. This year's destinations include Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park and Monument Valley, Utah. Besides his motorcycle, Larry also cannot live without his iPad, despite his hesitancy to adopt the product when it first came out. "I never wanted an iPad, and now I live by it. It effects everything I do, I'm completely dependent. Whether I'm reviewing plans, or marking them up during a walk through, I just can't live without my iPad."
