Quantitative Developer em Yodle

Sobre a Empresa:

Yodle is a leading provider of local online advertising that provides businesses with a simple and affordable way to get more phone calls - and new customers.

Our integrated services approach is changing the way businesses advertise to local markets. From offline to online. From having no way to measure results, to knowing exactly how their investment is performing.

So it's no wonder that the leading venture capital firms, Bessemer Venture Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Draper Fisher Jurvetson Growth and JAFCO Ventures are funding Yodle's rapid growth.

Yodle was founded in March 2005 by Nathaniel Stevens who, at the time, was managing online marketing for his father's car dealership. He realized that there was a better way for small business owners to connect with consumers. He teamed up with childhood friends Ben Rubenstein and John Berkowitz, as well as one of his professors at Wharton, Kartik Hosanagar, to build the business.

Today, Yodle works with thousands of local businesses across the country, and in hundreds of service industries. And those numbers are on the rise, as we continue to exceed client expectations and deliver sizable returns on investment.

Yodle's headquarters are in New York, NY and has a presence in 25 of the top cities across the United States.

• BA/BS/MA/MS in relevant courses of study (e.g., Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics)
• 1-4 years of experience in a Quantitative/Software Development environment
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in a team-oriented environment
