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 we strive to broaden individual impact with support from managers, mentors, and teams. At the end of the day, we’re all about helping our users, growing as engineers, and having fun in a collaborative environment.
At Yelp, we connect people with great local businesses. We have millions of users sending us hundreds of millions of photos, videos and reviews. But have you ever wondered how we organize those reviews and photos and the insights we derive from them into data products? That’s where the core content group and mining and text intelligence team comes in.

You'll have the opportunity to work with large scale visual and textual data sets to build impactful user-facing products and features utilising the latest LLMs and ML models. You will also be responsible for the productionisation and deployment building data pipelines or ETLs to create new online and offline data products.
