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.
Yelp is seeking an entry-level Software Engineer who is excited to work at the intersection of data and backend engineering. In this role, you'll help design and develop systems that power Yelp’s advertising platform—from building SDKs for large-scale event ingestion to designing data pipelines that process and analyze those events.
You’ll be joining the Product Monetization Platform team, responsible for collecting and processing ad-related events. Our work supports critical business functions, including billing, analytics, machine learning, and ad serving. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with scalable data systems while contributing to Yelp’s revenue-driving products.
This opportunity requires you to be located in the United Kingdom. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every single requirement. At Yelp, we value great people over ticking all boxes.
What you'll do:
* Contribute to the experimentation and development of new ad products at Yelp.
* Design, build, and maintain efficient data pipelines using large-scale processing tools like Apache Spark to transform ad-related data.
* Manage high-volume, real-time data streams using Apache Kafka and process them with frameworks like Apache Flink.
* Estimate timelines for projects, feature enhancements, and bug fixes.
* Work with large-scale data storage solutions, including Apache Cassandra and data lake systems.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineers, product managers, and data scientists, to understand business requirements and translate them into effective system designs.
* Support on-call rotations as needed to operate the team.
What it takes to succeed:
* Experience writing code in a modern object-oriented programming language (e.g., Python, Java, or C++).
* Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
* Comfortable navigating and understanding complex codebases and distributed systems.
* Effective communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences.
* Self-motivated with a proactive approach to identifying opportunities and recommending scalable, creative solutions.
* Exposure to technologies such as Python, AWS Redshift, AWS Athena / Apache Presto, Big Data tools (S3, Hadoop, Hive, Spark, Flink, Kafka), NoSQL systems like Cassandra, and DBT is a plus.
What you'll get:
* Full project responsibility from day one within a collaborative and dynamic environment.
* Competitive salary, pension scheme, and optional employee stock purchase plan.
* 25 days paid holiday (rising to 29 with service), plus a floating holiday.
* £150 monthly reimbursement for remote working expenses.
* £81 caregiver reimbursement for dependent care.
* Private health insurance, including dental and vision.
* Flexible hours and meeting-free Wednesdays.
* Regular hackathons, learning groups, and career development support.
* Participation in digital events and conferences.
* £81 monthly wellness expense allowance.
* Quarterly team offsites.
