Israel's largest classifieds platform across real estate, vehicles, and secondhand goods
yad2 operates the dominant classifieds marketplace in Israel across four verticals (real estate, vehicles, Drushim IL, secondhand goods), serving 300+ employees with a tech stack built on React Native, TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS. The hiring mix—balanced across data (8), engineering (8), and marketing (8)—paired with active projects in real-time pipelines, AI-driven personalization, and pricing strategy implementation suggests a shift from pure marketplace operations toward data-driven optimization and retention.
