iPhone game startups keep raising funding, while bigger companies like Namco, ngmoco and Playdom are growing their iPhone game empires through acquisitions.

The job listing is posted on Apple’s site; the company is looking for someone with a full deck of development skills—hard coding, audio, graphics as well as networking experience—with a bit of project management to make sure the project ships on deadline.
