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. Do you want to build and manage scaleable, self-healing, globally-distributed systems? Our Site Reliability engineers keep Yelp fast, available, and growing, connecting users to great local businesses. No matter how many times we get searched, scraped, scanned, spammed, pinged, paged, or queried, we gotta keep our cool - and keep the site running smoothly. We work in both the development and systems worlds, implementing key parts of the core architecture and supporting developers as they try to do the same. We get to tackle interesting challenges that you can only find at the kind of scale that serves over 100 million users per month. You'll work to empower Yelp: spinning up infrastructure should always be a git commit and a code review away, with automation and self-service being at the core of what we do. 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.
