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, which is 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’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.

* Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
* Comfortable in navigating and understanding complex codebases and distributed systems.

What You'll Get
* Full responsibility for projects from day one, a collaborative team, and a dynamic work environment.
