What you'll do:- You’ll work with our product partners to proactively ensure their features are performant for Etsy’s web users.
- You’ll help our product partners understand what might be causing performance issues relevant to their work.
- You’ll document and distribute knowledge of performance best practices across engineering at Etsy.
- We believe strongly in using both quantitative and qualitative methods to guide decisions. To that end, you'll not only use our in-house analytics tools to gather information and gain insights, but you’ll also help build those tools.
- You'll also use Etsy's Continuous Deployment architecture to push code to production early and often (and you'll probably push in your first week here).
- The Web Performance team is in the Product Infrastructure org. You’ll work most closely with other engineers in Product Infrastructure, but also build relationships with designers and engineers across product teams.
- You have experience working with object-oriented PHP and writing views in React and its cast of supporting libraries.
- You are comfortable writing JavaScript, both ES5 and ES6.
- You may have experience exploring performance issues within JavaScript libraries.
- You are familiar with browser and performance monitoring APIs, both in RUM and synthetic monitoring.
- You have working knowledge of browser performance metrics.
- You are familiar with the browser request and rendering “waterfall” and how to optimize it.
- Bonus points if you have any combination of skills regarding data streaming, SQL, Google BigQuery, or any other experience with big data.
Interested in joining the team? Send us a cover letter and your resume explaining why you’d be great for the job. We value individuality and variety, so make sure to tell us what you’re all about. If you have an online presence (blog, Twitter, Facebook), send it along. And if you write, draw, craft, or contribute to something you’re proud of, we’d love to hear about it.
