Software Engineer - Back-End Yelp
About the team:
It ain't easy running a site with 78M+ users and 30M+ reviews, but we do it with just a few people. This team does it all. They tame MySQL replication one day, implement a brand-new feature the next, and push it all out that night. They love being responsible for whole systems, and they love scaling those systems to the next level. But what really keeps the code flowing? Daily release cycle, baby!
Requirements:
Build systems that are simple and scale
Command of your favorite modern programming language: Python, Ruby, Java, Objective-C, C++, etc
Comprehensive computer-science fundamentals
Excitement about the challenges of internationalization
Comfortable working in a Unix environment
Excellent typing ability in the presence of flying nerf darts
Pluses:
Love of Python
Battle-worn MySQL knowledge
Specific interest in local search or social networks
Active contributor to open source software
Command-line scripting skills
