It’s pretty easy to tell when a startup gets a new round of funding. If you look at startup job boards like Startuply on a daily basis, you’ll notice that all of a sudden there are a ton of new job listings from a single company. A quick Google search will usually confirm that the company just closed a new round of venture capital. That seems to be the case with Oodle. News recently broke that they scored $5.6 million in funding from existing investors to get working on social classified ads through a deal with Facebook. The resulting action is that they have 8 new jobs posted on Startuply, yet they haven’t even updated their own Jobs page. I realize that this post is a little backwards, I usually introduce the company and then talk about the jobs, but I think that it’s important to understand that if you hear that a company just secured funding, you should check to see if they’re hiring immediately.
Oodle is based in San Mateo, CA and they’re in the classified ad business. They have a seemingly unstoppable competitor in Craigslist, but luckily for Oodle the market seems to be growing. More and more people need to sell their stuff during hard economic times, and classified ads are usually less of a headache than something like eBay. If Oodle can figure out what Facebook couldn’t and build Facebook’s Marketplace feature into a reliable way to buy and sell stuff among the people that you know, we might even be talking about Oodle as a potential Craigslist killer. That’s still pretty far down the road though, they need to spend the $5.6 million that they have burning a hole in their pocket first. That means hiring. Their Jobs page shows 4 job listings – Senior Product Manager: Partners; Software Engineer, Perl (Content Team); Software Engineer, Perl (Reporting Systems); and Software Engineer, Web Applications and Systems, while Startuply shows 8 – Web Designer, Senior Marketing Manager, Desktop Support Engineer, QA Automation Engineer, Web Software Developer, Senior Engineer, Product Manager/Sr. Product Manager, and Director/Sr. Manager of Reporting and Analytics. There’s clearly some overlap here, but it’s hard to say how many positions they’re actually hiring for. Either way, the jobs that appear most likely to be entry level are in Design, Software Development, Web Development, and Quality Assurance. You can apply for them by sending a cover letter and resume to jobs@oodle.com.
