Thank you to our Gold Sponsor, yelp!
Yelp connects people with great local businesses. Our users have contributed nearly 200 million reviews of almost every type of local business (restaurants, boutiques, dentists, mechanics, and more). Our business revolves around the connections made between the consumers who read and write reviews and the local businesses that they patronize. Since Yelp was founded in 2004, we have taken root across 32 countries. We just opened an office in Toronto and are hiring for multiple engineering roles! Our engineering culture is driven by our values: we’re a collaborative team that values individual authenticity, and encourages “unboring” solutions to problems. New hires are expected to deploy working code their first week, and your impact will only grow from there with the support of your manager, mentor and team. At the end of the day, we are all about helping our users, growing as engineers, and having fun in a collaborative environment.
