Job Description

Etsy is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join the Buying Confidence initiative.

You’ll join an initiative that enables buyers to choose a particular item by providing them with the right information at just the right time. The Buying Confidence initiative works on improving the buyer experience throughout the Etsy marketplace, focusing on our buyer flows on Etsy's most trafficked pages. We work to reduce friction for our buyers, making sure they have an easy and inspiring experience throughout their buying journey.There are 4 product engineering squads within the initiative, and you would work with 1 or more of them.

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

How can we leverage PWA tech to improve the buyer experience on mobile devices?What is the optimal number of reviews for an Etsy listing?What information does a buyer want to see on an item page?How and when should we surface information about carbon neutral shipping?

Upon final interview rounds, the team would partner with you to find the best team fit within the Buying Confidence initiative.

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, and you’ll be able to help us shape their direction in the future.
