Yelp’s Infrastructure teams design, implements, and maintains scalable software architectures that are at the heart of our technology. We do everything from build performance monitoring tools, design APIs and develop libraries, to creating speedy and reliable infrastructure that’s easy to use for our relevance/machine learning developers.
Do you dream in service oriented architectures? Do you enjoy profiling and getting the last bits of performance out of complex systems? We do too :)! You might have used one of our open source projects like mrjob, pyleus, or firefly. Or maybe you’ve read our blog post on how we manage Elasticsearch using Apollo. We help enable hundreds of engineers to safely and quickly deploy their features into production while serving millions of active Yelp users. If this sounds like you, join the team that is the glue that connects Yelp’s feature teams to their underlying software infrastructure - in the data centers, up in the cloud, or anywhere in between.
