Summary

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.

No app is better suited for mobile than Yelp. When local content meets location-aware devices that go everywhere with us, Yelp connects with great local businesses right around the corner and lets you instantly share the experience to help the next person discover it, too. It’s no wonder there are over 30 million users of our apps each month!

The Search UX Mobile team is at the forefront of enhancing the user experience on the Search screen for both iOS and Android platforms, while also overseeing its essential client-side and backend infrastructure.The Search screen is at the core of Yelp’s product, being one of our highest traffic screens, and engineers on the Search UX Mobile team make changes every day that affect virtually 100% of Yelp’s userbase. To build seamless, engaging Search experiences, engineers not only write code but also collaborate with Designers, Product Managers, Data Scientists, and other teams across the company.

Our relatively small iOS community has had a massive impact on the lives of millions, reaching users from around the globe and helping small business owners engage with their customers and build better connections. Yelp has always been on the cutting edge of iOS. From launching our consumer app over 10 years ago, to more recently introducing our business owners app, we continue pushing the envelope of what’s possible on iOS.
