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.

Are you interested in improving the performance of Yelp pages used by millions of people? Do you have interest in improving the development environment for hundreds of developers at Yelp, working on adding new features?

You will have the opportunity to propose and implement changes which improve the experience of people who use or work at Yelp.

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.

• implement reliable, scalable systems.
• Dive into experimentation data to identify issues and address customer needs, iterating on code as necessary.
• Mentor fellow engineers and share your knowledge to help grow the org’s full-stack expertise and domain knowledge.

What it takes to succeed:

• Ability to work with multiple teams and stakeholders to execute on high impact technical projects.
• Relevant experience in at least one server-side programming language, preferably Python.
• Relevant Experience with Javascript / Typescript.
• Familiarity with popular server-side web frameworks (Django, Flask, etc.) or modern JS frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, etc.).

What you\'ll get:

• Full responsibility for projects from day one, a collaborative team, and a dynamic work environment.
