Seeking to fill two engineering positions in Apple's CoreOS group

[Jordan K. Hubbard]

Hey FreeBSD folk,

Apple's Core OS group [the folks responsible for all the parts of Mac  
OS X that you probably care about ;-)] is seeking a couple of talented  
engineers.  It doesn't matter if you're a hot-shot new college  
graduate or an experienced old-timer; if you think you have what it  
takes and are interested in one of these positions, drop me a line!    
Both positions are on-site in Cupertino, CA so relocation will be  
required.  Any interested inquiries to me, thanks!
