Yelp is seeking an entry-level Software Engineer who is excited to work at the intersection of data and backend engineering.

Manage high-volume, real-time data streams using Apache Kafka and process them with frameworks like Apache Flink.
Estimate timelines for projects, feature enhancements, and bug fixes.
Work with large-scale data storage solutions, including Apache Cassandra and various data lake systems.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineers, product managers and data scientists, to understand business requirements and translate them into effective system designs.
Support on-call rotations as needed to operate the team.
What It Takes To Succeed
Experience writing code in a modern object-oriented programming language (e.g., Python, Java, or C++).
Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
Comfortable in navigating and understanding complex codebases and distributed systems.
Ability to communicate effectively to technical and non-technical cohorts alike.

Exposure to some of the following technologies: Python, AWS Redshift, AWS Athena / Apache Presto, Big Data technologies (e.g S3, Hadoop, Hive, Spark, Flink, Kafka etc), NoSQL systems like Cassandra, DBT is nice to have.
What You'll Get
Full responsibility for projects from day one, a collaborative team, and a dynamic work environment.
Competitive salary, a pension scheme, and an optional employee stock purchase plan.
25 days paid holiday (rising to 29 with service), plus one floating holiday.
£150 monthly reimbursement to help cover remote working expenses.
£81 caregiver reimbursement to support dependent care for families.
Private health insurance, including dental and vision.

£81 per month to use toward qualifying wellness expenses.
Quarterly team offsites.
