At Yahoo, Hyder was best known for leading the Hotjobs engineering team "and is credited for turning around that division," a source tells us. After that feat, Yahoo put Hyder in charge of the application group for the AMP! platform, a dashboard for brand advertisers that's supposed to save Yahoo this fall — if it can find a new name. Our Hyder-friendly source claims he's "bullish" on AMP. That's the politic thing for Hyder to say, of course, but actions speak louder than words. If he's so bullish, why would he leave AMP, unfinished, to a struggling, understaffed team?

Today, Adam Hyder, Sr. Director of Engineering announced his departure from Yahoo after four years at the company. Adam is currently leading the application group of the AMP! platform. Before that he was leading Engineering team of HotJobs and is credited for turning around that division. I view this as another major loss.

So that's why Yahoo's sign off Highway 101 is always advertising "Vacancies." (Photo by Dan Spisak)
