As a Data Engineer in the Data and Analytics Platform team at Yelp you will be responsible for building elegant and scalable data products that serve critical, up-to-date, structured information to support different types of analytics within Yelp. As a core contributor to our burgeoning data engineering efforts, you'll design and own mission-critical data pipelines to enable decision-making, all the way from enabling effective A/B testing to reporting public metrics to the Street.
Yelp engineering culture is driven by our values: we’re a cooperative team that values individual authenticity and encourages “unboring” solutions to problems. We enable all new team members to get their hands dirty in working code in their initial weeks and let them grow from there with the support of their manager, mentor, and team. At the end of the day, we’re all about helping our users, growing as engineers and scientists, and having fun in a collaborative environment.
