Full 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.
Ever wish some information about a business was immediately at your fingertips? Maybe something about their health & safety, opening hours, services, or just a unique insight about that business? Interested in exploring that data, finding inventive ways to collect, curate, and make it easily accessible for others to use? How about doing that at scale? Does taking millions of these data points and helping hundreds of millions of consumers connect with millions of businesses sound exciting? Come and join us!
The Semantic Business Information (SBI) team at Yelp is looking for a data backend engineer to help build and support this platform. We implement the platforms that collect, curate, and serve critical and up-to-date information about all businesses on Yelp. We then provide any internal team this structured business information, so that they, in turn, can create richer user experiences. We are the backbone for the most important content that Yelp provides consumers and we would love to welcome a great engineer in our team!
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:
Build, extend, and support our backend platforms to collect all trusted business data.
Collaborate with other engineering groups, such as Search, Local Services, and Ads to build instant-access APIs and streaming solutions that make it easy for them to consume business data.
Partner with our database teams to select and optimize the appropriate storage solutions for our scalability needs.
Create tools and services that regularly monitor and ensure this data is of high quality.
Make build-or-buy decisions that help reach our business goals.
What it takes to succeed:
Fluency in an object-oriented language (like Python or Java), SQL or NoSQL, Unix, developing within a Continuous Integration/Deployment pipeline.
Experienced in designing, building and maintaining large-scale distributed systems that back a consumer app or website.
In-depth experience building effective APIs (like REST or GraphQL).
Comfortable with performance analysis tools (e.g. tracers, profilers, debuggers, visualization tools).
Skilled at effectively gathering, aligning, and managing requirements across multiple teams.
Experience or an interest in developing infrastructure supporting data-intensive applications.
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.
