In the two years since launch, OkCupid has built an active user base of approximately 250,000 and has spawned numerous relationships, engagements, and marriages. The site is growing rapidly and we are building a reputation as the most enjoyable and effective matching service. We expect to reach the 1,000,000 active user mark in the next year. OkCupid is not like the stodgy dating sites you see advertised on the subway; rather, we want to open Internet dating up to a much larger audience and want to match people on the basis of what they actually care about, not an inaccurate personality model some pseudo-scientists dreamed up. OkCupid is not advertising just another job writing Perl or PHP scripts for a dinky web site. Rather, we have a huge system, spanning a cluster of machines, with many interesting architectural problems still yet to be solved. If you join our team, you will be on the front lines of scaling our site, while developing exciting new features. OkCupid offers competitive compensation, including cash, options, and full medical and dental coverage. The management team of OkCupid has successful startup experience including SparkNotes (educational publishing business sold to Barnes & Noble, Inc.) and eDonkey (the world.s most popular file-sharing application). OkCupid is on the verge of closing a large round of venture capital, which will fund even more rapid expansion. -- - Alfred Perlstein - CTO Okcupid.com / FreeBSD Hacker / All that jazz -
