Whittl is one of Chicago’s fastest growing startups! We built the most advanced booking platform for local services. Our vision is to make shopping for an eye exam, haircut, or dog walker as easy as booking a hotel room online. We’re going after a huge market that has yet to be disrupted. That’s why we’re backed by Origin Ventures, OCA Ventures, and Amicus Capital... the same team that created GrubHub.
 

We’re serious about building one of the best startup teams in Chicago. As developers ourselves we know that great teams are 5x more productive than mediocre ones. We’re looking for the kind of person who is energized by being in a fast-paced environment that values innovation. We love hard technology problems and so should you.
