Program Manager on our Business Engineering team whose <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifeatyelp/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">#FiveStarCareer</a> journey began in September 2014. To celebrate his recent Yelpiversary, Jorge is sharing a look into his 10-year journey at Yelp so far – from his advice to folks interested in pursuing a career in tech to a project he is proud of and more.</p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tell-us-about-your-journey-at-yelp">Tell us about your journey at Yelp.</h5> <p>I have had the fortune of having a diverse and storied journey at Yelp. I started as a Full-Stack Developer in the Consumer org and became a founding member of our Traffic team, where we developed some of the SEO strategies that are still in use today. </p> <p>Following my passion for experimentation and data-driven practices, I moved to a backend role in the at the time newly formed Metrics org. I became the tech lead and then the Engineering Manager for the Metrics Intelligence team, which is now called Feature Rollouts & Experimentation, where we launched the first version of our experimentation platform.</p> <p>When Yelp embraced a relatively new role, Technical Program Manager, I decided to give that a try as well. I moved over to the Biz org where I have been implementing our tooling and processes for project planning and execution across the Engineering org for the past few years. Some of my most visible work is in our annual planning process, where Yelp’s business objectives, strategic efforts, and engineering roadmaps meet. </p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-does-a-typical-day-look-like-in-your-role">What does a typical day look like in your role?</h5> <p>I have a variety of “typical” days, depending on where my focus is at the time. At times, I may spend the whole day coding, prototyping new ideas, implementing changes in our production environment, or deploying fixes. On other days, I spend big chunks of time preparing materials, like documents, presentations, and videos, that are meant for wide distribution, hence, having a high-quality bar that needs to be met. </p> <p>Some days, I focus on discovery. I meet with people across the Engineering and Product orgs to understand the challenges they are facing, and I try to match them with solutions in our tooling to make their lives easier. It may be about a gap in our existing offerings or an expansion in our capabilities, but the key is to make our tooling and processes work for them and their teams. </p> <p>More often than not, it’s a mix of all of the above, which keeps it interesting!</p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-your-advice-to-someone-who-wants-to-pursue-a-career-in-tech">What is your advice to someone who wants to pursue a career in tech?</h5> <p>Be curious. It’s essential that you’re excited about what you’re learning and all the things that you do not know yet. Do not focus on your successes and failures – people forget about those quickly anyway.</p> <p>Meet and talk with people. People mistakenly call this networking, but it is not. Find out what topics excite you and what others are excited about. Hold in your heart a genuine interest in other people’s lives and dreams. Relationships with interesting people will take you farther than anything else. </p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-your-1-tip-for-staying-productive-while-working-from-home">What is your #1 tip for staying productive while working from home?</h5> <p>Find out when you have the most energy during the day and have a prepared list of work to be done. Make sure you have done all of the thinking and decisions beforehand so that you can focus on execution without distractions.</p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tell-us-about-a-project-that-you-are-proud-to-have-worked-on">Tell us about a project that you are proud to have worked on.</h5> <p>The first big launch I had as an engineering manager is one of my personal highlights. It was the convergence of clear direction, strong execution focus, and a united team working on a single effort. It was the culmination of 3+ years of work from many teams, and we were lucky to be at the top of the spear.</p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-want-to-work-with-jorge"><a href="https://blog.yelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Screen-Shot-2021-07-14-at-1.46.57-PM.png"></a>Want to work with Jorge?</h5> <p>From day one of your career at Yelp, you will have access to our five-star benefits including monthly wellness reimbursements, 401(k) matching, generous PTO and wellness time off, and more. <a href="https://www.yelp.careers/us/en/preparing-for-your-tech-role-interview">Learn more</a> about what you can expect when meeting our engineering and product teams so that you can prepare and feel confident to bring your best authentic self to each interview.
