[SVLUG-Jobs] Yelp Job Posting

[J. Wells]

To Whom It May Concern:

I recruit for Yelp, an online urban city guide that helps people find
cool places to eat, shop, drink, relax and play, based on the informed
opinions of a vibrant and active community of locals in the know. Yelp
is the fun and easy way to find, review and talk about what's great —
and not so great — in your world.

We are growing our systems team. Currently, we have a small systems
team of four. They work directly with our co-founder/CTO Russ Simmons.
If interested or if you know anyone that would be interested, please
apply at the direct link below. I also copied the description below.
