Software Engineer, Shipping
New York, NY

Job Description

Etsy's Shipping Carriers team is looking for a Software Engineer who can collaborate to build an engaging and effective experience for Etsy's sellers.

You'll be joining a mission critical team responsible for building products that allow our sellers to ship their products with ease as well as supporting the technical systems that power all aspects of shipping on Etsy, from calculating shipping prices to providing tracking updates for our community of millions of buyers and sellers across the globe.

About the Team

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.

This is a full-time role located in Brooklyn, NY.

We are language-agnostic in our approach to interviewing.

About the Role

* You'll be helping us build meaningful products and experiences for people selling with Etsy.
* You will be contributing at all levels of our web application stack, ranging from front-end web interfaces (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, react) to back-end technologies (PHP, MySQL, Memcache) too.
* You will collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to address user feedback and create new and meaningful features.

About You

* You have a particular interest in developing products on the front-end, but still want to have full stack exposure.
* You have experience with multiple front-end frameworks; we primarily use jQuery and React, but alternate experience is great.
* You can define and solve unconstrained problems, and know when to seek help with any roadblocks.
* You're comfortable collaborating closely with product managers and designers, providing estimates or product ideas that will influence your team's roadmap.
* You have a "leave it better than you found it" mentality, and are willing to work with and improve on code written by others.
* You love to experiment and use data to drive decision-making.
* You are a mindful, transparent, and communicative member of your team.
