Job Description

The Full-Stack Software Engineer collaborates with a team to build engaging and effective user experiences for the Etsy community.

We are language agnostic in our approach to interviewing.

Our marketplace has an abundance of one-of-a-kind items from independent artists, designers and vintage collectors from around the world. Our challenge? Make it easier for buyers to find these remarkable goods and for creative entrepreneurs to run their businesses. Do you have the skills, passion and empathy to take on this task? Are you excited about building products that thrill our buyers and empower millions of small businesses?

About Etsy Engineering

The technical staff at Etsy believes that code is craft, and that the work we do is part of a larger creative culture represented by the hundreds of thousands of inspired artists and designers who make Etsy such a unique marketplace. We believe that small, empowered, self-motivated teams can do big things. We believe in measuring everything, taking advantage of our pioneering continuous deployment system to ship code early and often, and a blameless culture based on trust and a commitment to learning. We primarily write in PHP and JavaScript as well as in Go and Java. Our product engineering teams have recently shipped projects like a unified and redesigned set of seller tools, a better recommendation and personalization experience for buyers, and a system to allow buyers and sellers to communicate more effectively about variations on their orders. Learn more about our engineering philosophies, tools, and some of the challenges we've been solving on our Engineering blog: http://codeascraft.com/

About Location

Our engineers are concentrated in our Brooklyn HQ, but are located all over the US. We believe that open communication and effective teamwork can happen regardless of where you sit, and we'll provide you with tools to make sure that happens. Your laptop will come with our video conferencing software pre-installed, so you can always join in on meetings and catch up face-to-face with your team regardless of where in the world you or they are.

About the Core Buyer Experience Team

* The Core Buyer Optimization team works on improving buyer flows on Etsy's most trafficked pages
* Ensuring listing are of high quality and eliminating "dead ends" so buyers can continue browsing when they don't have items in mind
* Improve the experience when visiting the site from third party applications; how can we continue to contextualize that experience and improve landing pages?
* Custom Orders and Personalizing Items are one of Etsy's differentiators; how do we continue to streamline this process to make it at seamless as possible for buyers and sellers?

About the Role

* You'll be helping us build delightful products and experiences for people buying and selling with Etsy.
* In a Full-Stack Engineering role you will be contributing at all levels of our web application stack, ranging from back-end technologies (PHP, MySQL, Memcache) to front-end web interfaces (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
* The teams working on each feature are small, so there's a lot of meaningful collaboration between engineers, product managers, and designers.
* We believe strongly in using both quantitative and qualitative methods to guide decisions. To that end, you'll be able to use our in-house analytics tools to gather information and gain insights. With a strong focus on creative entrepreneurs, you will work closely alongside our research team, go on studio visits, and discover insights in our forums. You'll also be able to use Etsy's Continuous Deployment architecture to push code to production early and often (and you'll probably push in your first week here).
