App Backend Engineer, Core Services (Remote – Canada)

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 your impact will only grow from there with the support of your manager, mentor and team. At the end of the day, we are all about helping our users, growing as engineers, and having… fun in a collaborative environment.

Want to join an engineering team where your work makes a significant impact on both the company and its users?
