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 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’re all about helping our users, growing as engineers, and having fun in a collaborative environment.
