Erlang Job Advert

Well, it's been over a year, sorry. Today I received an email with an Erlang job offer for a company based in Boston. I don't know anything about the company at all, perhaps it is junk, but the project seems like something Erlang is good at. It's a telecommuting job, so that might raise a red flag with some people. If you are interested I'll put you in touch with the recruiter or whatever he is, email me at orbitz AT ortdotlove.net (that is really ortdotlove.net, not fancy spelling for ort.love.net).

Here are the job details:
