JavaScript Job Details

Are you interested in leading the direction of the web platform for all of Yelp, and helping us adopt open source software like React and GraphQL to suit our needs? Our team supports hundreds of engineers who are providing the best user experience to millions of users!

On Webcore, you will design, build, help evolve and maintain the foundational frontend ecosystem. You will work on a team that strives to deliver seamless developer experiences while maintaining innovation, reliability and simplicity. Our users are other full stack engineers at Yelp, and our goal is to help them achieve faster iteration speeds and ship high quality code. You will collaborate closely with engineers to gather feedback and preferences to help create tooling, set best practices and define web architecture patterns that scale. The decisions you make will have a significant impact on every team at Yelp that deploys the website. What we do is key to developing and deploying features on the web, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Yelp engineering culture is driven by our values: we’re a cooperative team that values authenticity and encourages creative solutions to problems. We enable all new engineers to deploy working code within 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.

This opportunity is fully remote and does not require you to be located in any particular area in Canada. We welcome applicants from throughout Canada.

We’d love to have you apply, even if you don’t feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we’re looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes.

  • Promote cross-team awareness to optimize code-sharing and decrease time to market as a key member of the larger Javascript developer community at Yelp.
  • Help establish a roadmap and architecture based on technology and Yelp’s needs.
  • Write clear and concise technical documentation on system designs and implementation.
  • Mentor other engineers and share the skills you’ve learned.


What It Takes to Succeed:

  • Extensive experience with modern web tooling such as Webpack, Babel, Jest, Enzyme.
  • Experience with Unix systems.
  • Ability to own a team project from scoping to implementation.
  • Responsiveness to changing needs of the business and ability to craft solutions that solve complex business problems.
