Company Description

Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods. We build, power, and evolve the tools and technologies that connect entrepreneurs with buyers around the world. As an Etsy employee, you’ll tackle unique problems alongside talented coworkers committed to Keeping Commerce Human. We're large enough that you'll focus on meaningful, complex challenges, but small enough that you can make a rewarding impact.

Job Description

The Help Me Grow product group is looking for Senior Software Engineers to collaborate and lead in building trustworthy software and outstanding user experiences.

Here’s a taste of the problems we’re solving:

• How can we make it easier for sellers to manage their shops?

• Continually improving our ad platform to offer more accurate bidding and to display the most compelling ads we can

• Building an ever larger audience of buyers by building new capabilities for our marketing team

• Providing sellers with the data and reports they need to understand how their shop is performing

• Offering sellers new ways to connect with buyers, whether it’s by enabling buyers to create collections of items, offering sellers the opportunity to create listing videos, or coming up with new ad formats

Etsy is built on Google Cloud Platform, and our Web stack runs on PHP and MySQL. On the front end, we’ve developed and migrated to our own design system, and mostly build interfaces using React. We were one of the earliest and are one of the largest practitioners of continuous deployment in the industry. We also use a lot of other technologies and languages – Scala and Java for big data and distributed systems, Python and TensorFlow for machine learning, and Go for some services. 

Upon final interview rounds, the team would partner with you to find the best team fit within the Help Me Grow group. 

This is a full-time position within our Help Me Grow, Product Engineering group, located in Brooklyn, NY.

We’re also open to remote hires within all U.S. states except Hawaii and Alaska.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer at Etsy, you will:

• Work on a product development team teammates to independently tackle well-scoped problems.

• You are comfortable both mentoring and coaching other engineers and accepting coaching from more senior engineers

• Will work on a large, mature codebase that supports both our Web site and multiple mobile applications

We are proud to have an engineering culture that encourages career growth and learning. You can learn more about our philosophies, tools, and some of the challenges we’ve been solving on our Code as Craft, our engineering blog.

Qualifications

About You

You will do well in this role if you:

• Have two or more years of practical software development experience.

• Write understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability and scalability.

• Are comfortable working on a cross-functional product team with Product Managers, Designers, Researchers, and Data Analysts to maximize the impact of our work.

• Are invested in Etsy’s vision, mission and values.

Experience with the technologies we currently use is beneficial, but not required.

What's Next

If you're interested in joining the team at Etsy, please send a cover letter and resume telling us why you'd be right for the position.

So write to us and tell us what you’re all about.

Also point us to any online presence you may have (weblog, Twitter, Facebook, rap sheet), and if you write, draw, practice a craft, or contribute to something you’re proud of, that means a lot to us too. We would love to hear about it.
