Contractor. Singular. And for a web-app. It's not like they're mainstreaming Ruby or anything.
When reading ruby+rails+sproutcore+expert I immediately thought of Yehuda Katz. Maybe Apple can consult him?
I like this job postings, although I don't need a job at the moment. They are always a good source of what skills are currently needed and where you have to improve yourself in order to stay "in the game", especially if its a job for a big company.
"JavaScript skills, especially Sproutcore"
It's nice to see that Apple's not abandoning SproutCore even with Charles Jolley's departure from Apple.
