About Zeplin

Zeplin is a connected space for product teams where they can share designs, generate specs, assets and code snippets. In just 5 years, we’ve reached over 4 million users from thousands of product teams, including Airbnb, Dropbox, Pinterest, Microsoft and many many more. We’re a Y Combinator startup, also backed by amazing investors like Elad Gil, Mike Maples, Kevin Hale. We’re a small, distributed crew with offices in San Francisco, Istanbul and London, UK.

Are you the person who leads their team in replacing an aging system, or dives into the guts of a running system to fix that bug everyone is happy to gloss over? Keep reading.

Yelp connects people with great local businesses, but who connects search queries to 180M+ reviews on millions of businesses in under 400 milliseconds? Who selects the perfect ad from millions of options in the blink of an eye? And after that user has found the perfect restaurant and is happily munching on their quinoa salad, who makes sure our logs are transported, transformed, and indexed so we can do even better next time?

We’re looking for experienced engineers to join our team and build elegant, scalable platforms that bring the potential of data streams to Yelp’s features teams. From transporting events reliably between services and datastores with Kafka to processing massive streams of data in real-time with Flink and Beam, our team offers simple abstractions to power a whole host of personalized experiences for Yelp’s users and drive optimizations for Yelp’s advertising businesses.

• Based or willing to relocate within United Kingdom
