Are you interested in a remote engineer role leading the direction of the Experimentation and Product Analytics platform for all of Yelp, and helping us adopt open source software like GraphQL to suit our needs? Our team supports the engineers who are providing the best user experience to millions of users! We build analytics and experimentation SDKs, create tooling, set best practices, and define web architecture patterns that scale. Our goal is to enable quick and effortless decision making by leveraging data. We routinely tackle hard challenges and care deeply about efficient web infrastructure.

Yelp engineering culture is driven by our values: we’re a cooperative team that values individual authenticity and encourages “unboring” solutions to problems. We enable all new engineers to deploy working code their first week, and your impact will only grow from there with the support of your manager, mentor, and team.
