(New York, NY)
We are OkCupid, a leading free online dating site. We're growing like crazy due to the buzz about our product, and in particular the user experience that has changed the way people think about online dating.
You may have seen us in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/technology/internet/13cupid.html) or on CNN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J89OQ0O6Cc). We think you'll love our blog (http://blog.okcupid.com); if you don't, you probably won't like us, either.
We're looking for a junior designer with strong front-end development skills (XHTML/CSS/JS) to join our creative team. Along with the rest of TeamFrontEnd, you'll be improving the presentation and usability of the best dating site on Earth.
