Job description

Summary

Yelp engineering culture is driven by our values: we’re a cooperative team that values individual authenticity and encourages creative solutions to problems. All new engineers deploy working code their first week, and we strive to broaden individual impact with support from managers, mentors, and teams. At the end of the day, we’re all about helping our users, growing as engineers, and having fun in a collaborative environment.

Want to join a team where your work makes a significant impact and is seen by millions of users? We are responsible for onboarding new business users on Yelp for Business. We do that by building the best in class signup and claiming experience.

Full Stack engineers at Yelp have the flexibility to work on a wide subset of software development. You will have the opportunity to develop highly performant APIs on the backend, as well as create the visual components our users interact with every day. If you enjoy playing an active role in the end-to-end product development lifecycle, this is the role for you.

This opportunity requires you to be located in the United Kingdom. We’d love to have you apply, even if you don’t feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we’re looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes.

What you'll do:

• Design and build new features to connect Yelp users with businesses at a large scale.
• Iterate quickly using Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment principles.
• Collaborate with team members and engineers across the company to design reliable systems.
• Implement beautiful features that are modern and responsive.
• Deploy projects in a Service-Oriented Architecture, all the way from backend services to fully-featured UIs.
• Run A/B experiments and dive into the resulting data to look for trends.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineering teams.

What it takes to succeed:

• Relevant experience in at least one server-side programming language, preferably Python.
• Relevant experience in at least one front end framework and technology, preferably React.
• Interest in challenges of scalability, reliability, and performance.
• Passion for Yelp and its mission to connect people with great local businesses.
• Keen interest in tackling scalability, reliability, and performance challenges.
• Understanding of web security and performance best practices.
• Comfortable working in a Unix Environment.

What you'll get:

• Full responsibility for projects from day one, a collaborative team, and a dynamic work environment.
• Competitive salary, a pension scheme, and an optional employee stock purchase plan.
• 25 days paid holiday (rising to 29 with service), plus one floating holiday.
• £150 monthly reimbursement to help cover remote working expenses.
• £81 caregiver reimbursement to support dependent care for families.
• Private health insurance, including dental and vision.
• Flexible working hours and meeting-free Wednesdays.
• Regular 3-day Hackathons, bi-weekly learning groups, and productivity spending to support and encourage your career growth.
• Opportunities to participate in digital events and conferences.
• £81 per month to use toward qualifying wellness expenses.
• Quarterly team offsites.
