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.
The Security Incident Detection and Response Team at Yelp is responsible for leading all security incident response activities, actively managing and increasing detection precision, and providing advanced systems and tooling. Our team is critical to improving Yelp’s detection and response capabilities, ensuring the continued security and integrity of our data and systems.
We’re looking for a Security Software Engineer to join our Incident Detection and Response team and contribute to our efforts to ensure Yelp’s cloud and corporate infrastructure, network, endpoints, and applications remain safe.
