Senior Full Stack Engineer - RepairPal (Remote - Canada)

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.

RepairPal, together with Yelp, is expanding our mission of bringing trust to the automotive industry—helping car owners get fair prices by connecting them with trustworthy local mechanics. As a Full Stack Engineer, you'll build the features and applications that make this mission possible.

We operate like a startup within Yelp: a small, nimble team with the speed and autonomy to move fast and own our work, backed by the resources and stability of a major tech company. You get the best of both worlds—startup culture and big company support.

Our full stack engineers contribute to every layer of product development, from designing and maintaining robust APIs and scalable backend services, to creating intuitive, polished user interfaces. You’ll help power our core operations, ensuring our platform remains reliable and user-focused.

This opportunity is fully remote and does not require you to be located in any particular area in Canada. We welcome applicants from throughout Canada. 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.

• Proactively identify and resolve critical technical issues, contribute to architectural discussions, and provide mentorship to team members, raising the technical bar for the group.
