Job description
Do you want to build and manage scaleable, self-healing, globally-distributed systems? Our Site Reliability engineers keep Yelp fast, available, and growing, connecting users to great local businesses. No matter how many times we get searched, scraped, scanned, spammed, pinged, paged, or queried, we gotta keep our cool - and keep the site running smoothly.
We work in both the dev and systems worlds, implementing key parts of the core architecture and supporting devs as they try to do the same. We get to tackle interesting challenges that you can only find at the kind of scale that serves over 100 million users per month.
You'll work to empower product teams and developers: at Yelp, spinning up infrastructure should always be a git commit and a code review away: automation and self-service are at the core of what we do.
This opportunity requires you to be located in the Republic of Ireland.
We’d love to have you apply, even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we’re looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes.
Where You Come In:
- Work closely with developers in supporting new features and services.
- Build tools to monitor site stability and performance.
- Help scale our Kubernetes clusters and AWS-based infrastructure while maintaining our platform's SLOs.
- Troubleshoot site issues using industry-leading tools like Splunk, SignalFX, and Prometheus.
- Automate everything with Python, Puppet, Git, Jenkins, and Terraform.
- Develop custom tools when off-the-shelf solutions don’t work at our scale and contribute upstream to open source projects.
- Design new systems, tests, and procedures.
- Participate in light on-call rotations - we have geographically distributed SRE teams for follow-the-sun support, which means nobody needs to be on-call 24h a day!
What It Takes to Succeed:
- Mastery of Linux (we use Ubuntu but any distro is fine).
- Command of your favorite modern programming language: Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java, C++, etc.
- A solid understanding of fundamental technologies like TCP/IP, HTTP, and DNS.
- Experience with public cloud platforms (we use AWS, but Azure/GCP are fine) and related tooling (Terraform, etc.).
- Experience with Linux containerisation and orchestration (e.g., Docker and Kubernetes).
- Knowledge of best practices related to security, performance, and disaster recovery.
- Experience with web server configuration (Apache/Nginx/HAproxy), monitoring, trending, and high availability.
- Strong scripting and automation skills.
- Expertise in Configuration Management (Puppet/Ansible/Chef/etc.).
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.
What You'll Get:
- Full responsibility for projects from day one, a collaborative team, and a dynamic work environment.
- Competitive salary, a pension scheme, and an optional employee stock purchase plan.
- 25 days paid holiday (rising to 29 with service), plus one floating holiday.
- €150 monthly reimbursement to help cover remote working expenses.
- €89 caregiver reimbursement to support dependent care for families.
- Private health insurance, including dental and vision.
- Flexible working hours and meeting-free Wednesdays.
- Regular 3-day Hackathons, bi-weekly learning groups, and productivity spending to support and encourage your career growth.
- Opportunities to participate in digital events and conferences.
- €67 per month to use toward qualifying wellness expenses.
- Quarterly team offsites.
