Director of Engineering - Ads
Summary
Hundreds of millions of dollars run through Yelp’s Ads systems. A huge percentage of our current revenue depends on relevant and reliable delivery of ads. Our future revenue depends on our ability to extend and innovate on our advertising products. We are constantly evolving & improving the ad-product vision.
We are looking for an innovative leader to continue growing our talented Ads team. Yelp Engineering is filled with creative minds, collaborative teams and expert coders. The Director of Ads will lead teams that steadily improve and innovate on the system including delivering new capabilities to drive Yelp forward. In addition to driving high-performance engineering teams, the Director of Ads will be tasked with setting ambitious product goals and ensuring they are met.
Average team size is small and you will work in lockstep with the product team to get features out the door quickly. To succeed, you must be passionate about Yelp, keep up with our daily release cycles, and maintain our useful, funny, cool culture during times of immense growth. It also doesn't hurt to impress us with your technical chops. Ready to take us from big to big time?
