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.

At Yelp, we’re dedicated to delivering the most relevant search results by leveraging cutting-edge techniques in machine learning, data mining, and backend engineering. Our engineers play a key role in improving search recall, enriching results with contextual annotations, and optimizing search data pipelines. Their work directly impacts millions of users, helping them find the best local businesses with smarter, more intuitive search experiences. If you're excited about solving complex recall challenges, scaling search infrastructure, and driving innovation in search relevance, we’d love to have you on board!
