Quantitative Researcher – New York, NY

Overview

Yodle is a leading local online advertising firm that provides businesses with a simple and affordable way to get more phone calls and attract new customers. From offline to online, having no way to measure results to knowing exactly how their investment is performing, our integrated service approach is changing the way businesses advertise to local markets. It’s no wonder that leading venture capital firms, Bessemer Venture Partners and Draper Fisher Jervetson are funding Yodle’s rapid growth.

Yodle is lead by a strong executive team and board of directors with experience at some of the best and most successful internet companies around. We are looking for talented individuals who are smart, passionate and can get things done. While we expect everyone on our team to demonstrate superior technical skills, it is our relentless positive attitude and team-oriented culture that makes Yodle a great place to grow both personally and professionally.

Yodle`s Optimization Team is a small group of quantitative professionals who work within our Technology department. Our work involves the research and development of optimization algorithms that have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line. Specifically, we apply rigorous quantitative methods (e.g., constrained optimization, parametric/non-parametric estimation) in delivering efficient, scalable technologies to solve a myriad of very challenging problems. Recent work has ranged from applying censored data techniques in model estimation to the full design and implementation of a daily QA-test environment. The team works in a fast-paced, dynamic environment filled with opportunities for both personal and professional development. And most importantly, we have fun doing what we do!

We are currently seeking a Quantitative Researcher for the Optimization Team. The ideal candidate has excellent quantitative training and intuition (e.g., probability theory, mathematical optimization) in addition to 4+ years of practical experience in executing and implementing complex ideas in industry. The candidate will be the consummate team player and feel comfortable with the dynamic environment of a fast-growing company participating in all aspects of product development from research to implementation and maintenance. The ability to clearly communicate in both a concise and precise manner is an absolute must. This position reports to the Manager of Optimization.

Qualifications

• MA/MS, Ph.D in a relevant course of study (e.g., Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics). Note that exceptional BA/BS candidates will be considered

• 4+ years of experience in a Quantitative Research environment

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in a team-oriented environment

• Self-motivated, have a positive attitude and demonstrated ability to work independently

• Experience with JAVA/C++ and proficiency in UNIX/LINUX environment

Compensation

What we offer to you:

• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision and 401k savings

• Competitive salary and paid time off

• Stock options that give you the potential to participate in the success of our fast-growing company
