Ready to take your remote engineering leadership career to the next level? Our Engineering Effectiveness group designs, builds, and operates large-scale systems that enable Yelp developers to deliver world class features. We love to accelerate engineering workflows and deliver great developer experiences as we scale complex, highly reliable systems.
As the Engineering Manager of Yelp’s Client Data team, you will lead, coach, and grow a multi platform (Android, iOS, Web) team of amazing engineers in building the infrastructure that powers our GraphQL API layer on the server and all client platforms. This API is currently used by all the mobile and web Yelp apps (the “clients”) to fetch and write data. It serves as an abstraction over disparate datastores/systems, enabling Yelp’s Consumer and Biz teams to build world class web and mobile experiences for their users.
