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.
Are you passionate about building developer tools and platform infrastructure that power AI-driven experiences for millions of users? The Chat Platform team at Yelp builds the shared SDKs, APIs, and UI infrastructure that enable teams across the company to rapidly deliver conversational chat experiences on Yelp's consumer surfaces. We focus on developer ergonomics, reliability, and scalability—so feature teams can focus on innovation.
You will have the opportunity to shape and build Yelp's iOS Chat SDK from the ground up, working on reusable components, real‑time messaging infrastructure, and server‑driven UI that directly impact multiple flagship products. We are looking for an iOS engineer who thrives in a platform environment, enjoys close partnership with internal teams, and is excited to turn ambitious infrastructure ideas into polished, production‑grade tools.
This opportunity is fully remote and does not require you to be located in any particular area in Canada. We welcome applicants from throughout Canada. 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.
What You'll Do
Design, build, and maintain Yelp's iOS Chat SDK, providing reusable, well‑documented components that internal feature teams rely on to ship conversational experiences.
Contribute to the architecture and evolution of our server‑driven UI (Chat SDUI) framework on iOS, enabling teams to deliver new chat capabilities with minimal client‑side changes.
Partner with internal stakeholder teams (e.g., Yelp Assistant, Ask Anything for businesses, Request a Quote) to understand their needs and reduce integration friction.
Drive reliability and observability by building in structured logging, metrics, and performance monitoring at the SDK layer.
Collaborate with cross‑platform engineers (Android, Web, Server) to ensure consistent APIs and a cohesive developer experience.
Champion testing standards, versioning strategies, and CI/CD best practices to safely release platform updates that multiple production apps depend on.
What It Takes To Succeed
Strong proficiency in Swift and experience building and shipping production iOS applications or SDKs.
Familiarity with UIKit and/or SwiftUI, with a keen eye for building flexible, reusable UI components.
Experience with real‑time data handling on iOS (e.g., streaming APIs, WebSockets, or similar technologies).
A platform mindset—you think about API ergonomics, documentation, and how other engineers will use what you build.
Ability to work across multiple teams and stakeholders to execute on high‑impact technical projects.
Keen interest in tackling scalability, reliability, and performance challenges in shared infrastructure.
What You'll Get
There are a variety of factors that go into determining a compensation range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data and years of experience. Based on the anticipated level of experience that we are seeking, we expect the compensation range for this role to be between $135,000 and $185,000. The actual compensation offered may be influenced by a variety of factors, including the candidate’s experience and skill set.
This opportunity has the option to be fully remote in all locations across Canada.
This role is posted to fill an existing position.
