Job description

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.

Our Engineering Effectiveness (EE) group designs, builds, and operates large-scale systems that enable Yelp developers to deliver world class features. We love to accelerate engineering workflows and deliver great developer experiences.

We’re looking for an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer to join the Developer Insights and Automation team. As a part of the EE group, our team works specifically on developer productivity tools to enrich and streamline the developer experience. On this full stack team, you’ll build automation tools to enable other teams to perform and track complex migrations across backend and frontend services. You’ll also establish developer metrics and build dashboards to help service authors understand and improve the efficiency of their workflows across backend, web and mobile developer platforms.
