Description

As a Senior Data Engineer you will be working on a platform that will hold data on millions of ClearScore users across the world. This will involve designing and implementing massively high-volume and robust data pipelines that will feed user behavioural data back into production systems. You will engineer systems that will power ClearScore’s analytics which will handle thousands of events per second from users interacting with our product.

About the data team

• The data team ingests and processes 90M events per day, peaking at 360k events per minute.
• We use Kafka, Kinesis, Spark-streaming and SQS for stream processing.
• Airflow, Spark, Spark-SQL and AWS-glue for batch processing.
• AWS, Jenkins, Docker and Terraform for infrastructure.
• "You build it you run it" culture, empowering our engineers to work with AWS, Docker and Terraform.
• BDD/TDD and peer-reviewing enabling us to do frequent yet resilient releases to global markets.

Our Site Reliability Engineers are the primary interface between Yelp’s developers and production infrastructure. 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. 

With us, you'll build monitoring and alerting systems to support site stability and performance. You'll proactively scale our AWS infrastructure to meet an ever-increasing demand. You'll make sure that when something goes bump in the night, someone hears it. In short, you'll play a key role in keeping Yelp fast, available, and growing, connecting users to great local businesses.

Skills & Requirements

What You Will Do:

• Work closely with developers in supporting new features and services
• Build tools to monitor site stability and performance
• Help scale our AWS-based infrastructure (no racking servers or swapping hard drives here!)
• Work with our open source platform as a service, PaaSTA
• Troubleshoot site issues using industry-leading tools like Splunk and SignalFX
• Automate everything with 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 no 2:00 AM pages!

What We Are Looking For:

• Mastery of Linux (we use Ubuntu)
• Command of your favourite modern programming language: Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java, C++, etc.
• Solid understanding of fundamental technologies like TCP/IP, HTTP, and DNS
• Knowledge of best practices related to security, performance, and disaster recovery
• Experience with web server configuration (Apache/Nginx/HAproxy), monitoring, trending, network design, and high availability
• Strong scripting and automation skills
• Expertise in Configuration Management (Puppet/Ansible/Chef/etc.)
• Experience with public cloud platforms (we use AWS, but Azure/GCP are fine) and related tooling (Terraform, etc.)
• Experience with Docker or other container technologies
• Excellent communication and documentation skills

What We Offer:

• Full responsibility for projects from day one, an awesome team, and a dynamic work environment
• Competitive salary with equity in the company, a pension scheme, and an optional employee stock purchase program
• Private health insurance, including dental and vision
• Flexible working hours and meeting-free Thursdays
• Regular 2-day Hackathons and weekly learning groups, always with interesting topics
• Opportunities to participate in events and conferences throughout Europe
• Public transportation season ticket loan and £50 per month toward any exercise of your choice
• Monthly personal development allowance
• Central location, a fully stocked kitchen, adjustable sitting/standing desks, quarterly offsites, happy hours, and more!
