About the teams:
Our Search & Data Mining, Ads and Spam Prevention teams see 39M+ Yelp reviews and 102M+ monthly unique visitors as one giant playground for data mining. They banter about Bandits, know their way down a Gradient, and aren’t too Naïve to kick back in our Bay(es) Area offices. We love new ideas and collaboration: don’t come here with any Prior prejudices or you will Maximize your Likelihood of getting your Posterior kicked.
Our mission: to make Yelp psychic. When you want cheap thai delivery for dinner, your wish is our code. Looking for a memorable night out? An ad for the best local flower shop might be just the tip you need to make the night unforgettable.
Our teams eat data for breakfast, chew it up, and spit out useful products. Saddle up and get on board!
