About OkCupid <www.okcupid.com>
-------------------------------

OkCupid is a rapidly growing online dating business built on an
efficient, unprecedented, patent-pending matching system.  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.
