Job Description
The Help Me Grow product group is looking for 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.
