Our Site Reliability Engineers are the primary interface between Yelp’s developers and production infrastructure. No matter how many times we get searched, scraped, scanned, spammed, pinged, paged, or queried, we gotta keep our cool - and keep the site running smoothly.
We work in both the dev and systems worlds, implementing key parts of the core architecture and supporting devs as they try to do the same. We get to tackle interesting challenges that you can only find at the kind of scale that serves over 100 million users per month.
With us, you'll build monitoring and alerting systems to support site stability and performance. You'll proactively scale our AWS infrastructure to meet an ever-increasing demand. You'll make sure that when something goes bump in the night, someone hears it. In short, you'll play a key role in keeping Yelp fast, available, and growing, connecting users to great local businesses.
