Quizlet is a fast-growing site that helps students study online. The site has 850,000 registered users and 70 million user-uploaded flashcards. We have a passion for helping students and teachers and, as our testimonial page shows, we've helped hundreds of thousands already.
The Collectors Weekly is a resource for collectors and people who love antiques and vintage items. Our goal is to create a great place to explore and learn about collecting, and a showcase for the passion and knowledge of collectors everywhere. We have high-quality, hand-crafted data in 850 categories of antiques and collecting, and we want to cover even more. Launched in 2007, Collectorsweekly.com is now one of the leading sites in our category, with over 200,000 monthly visitors.
You must be in the Bay Area and be able to commute to our SOMA office in San Francisco. We want the best and we'll pay competitively. We're working on two very exciting opportunities and we have the existing traction to show for it -- now we just need more great people to help us shape and implement our vision.
