Who we are: Yelp's Engineering team
Meet the innovative folks behind Yelp Engineering, whose everyday work solves technical challenges, scales our platform, and empowers millions of users to discover local businesses.
"I use AI heavily for writing dev scripts and weird jq CLI commands. Through our internal AI tool, Chatbench, we have access to an impressive range of models. After talking with engineers at other companies, this is an area where I’m confident Yelp is ahead of the curve: we have strong AI tooling and support that makes it easy to incorporate into day-to-day work."

It’s rewarding to be part of a team that directly impacts how millions of people connect with local businesses."

Priyal
Engineering Manager
"Tech is a vast field, and no two roles are exactly the same. It’s important to find what truly interests you and pursue it with focus, while still mastering the fundamentals, like algorithms and problem-solving skills. The industry evolves rapidly. Though keeping up with changes can feel overwhelming, knowing when to pivot and when to stay focused will make a significant difference in your journey."
Mamadou
Software Engineer
"I’m particularly proud of a recent project where I had the opportunity to set up a new service for my team as we transitioned away from a monolith repository. To my surprise, I was able to complete the setup of the new service ahead of the estimated time. This achievement boosted my confidence and provided significant benefits to our team. It improved our workflow and laid the groundwork for future developments. It was rewarding to see the positive impact of my work on the team’s productivity and overall project goals."
