Data Scientist  | Etsy, Inc. | Brooklyn, NY, United States
 
The Data Scientist will develop algorithms that enable our community of buyers to discover one-of-a-kind items on Etsy.
Etsy is seeking Data Mining Scientists to join our Data Science team. As a scientist at Etsy, you will be developing cutting edge algorithms that drive our recommender systems and search ranking engines.

This development includes both research and engineering across our entire stack: data analysis and algorithmic prototyping, implementation within our Hadoop infrastructure, and integration with Etsy's web stack. This full-time position is based in Brooklyn, NY.

About the Team

The technical staff at Etsy believes that code is craft, good software and systems designs are works of art, and that the work we do is part of larger creative culture represented by the hundreds of thousands of inspired makers who make Etsy such a wondrous marketplace.

We believe that small, empowered, self-motivated teams can do big things. We also believe in the right tool for the job, not language-as-religion.

Our current systems run PHP, Java, Scala, Python, Ruby, Solr/Lucene, Postgres, MySQL, and more.

Responsibilities:
  • Build next-generation recommender systems, search quality algorithms, and targeting / optimization applications
  • Build prototype and implement algorithms via Hadoop and over hundreds of terabytes of data with scala and java
  • Explore data, diving deep with python and R
  • Integrate algorithms with Etsy's web stack via PHP and javascript
  • Deploy continuously, test continuously, and learn
About You

You love experimentation and are motivated to understand everything you build, from algorithmic changes to front-end improvements. You look forward to embracing our continuous deployment process at Etsy and believe in a highly iterative approach to problem solving.

You will be successful in this role if you:
  • Have 3+ years experience building industrial data mining systems
  • Have experience with Hadoop and working with multi-terabyte systems
  • Have a deep understanding and experience with state of the art machine learning and data mining algorithms
  • Have experience working on search ranking algorithms in an industrial setting
  • Have a M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science
What’s Next

If you're interested in joining the team at Etsy, please send a cover letter along with your resume telling us what inspires you about Etsy and why you think you are perfect for the team (resumes without a cover letter will not be considered).

If you contribute to an open source project, write a blog, or practice another craft besides coding, that means something to us, we’d love to hear about it.

Hi! We'd like to set these regional settings for you:
