Software Engineer: Internal Tools

Brooklyn, NY, United States
The Software Engineer for Internal Tools will create and deploy tools that enable Etsy employees to better serve our community.

About the Job

Etsy is seeking a Software Engineer to join our Marketplace Operations Engineering team. In this role, you'll be working with our Member Operations team to build innovative products that improve workflow and efficiency.  The tools you build will help Etsy provide a stellar customer support experience, identify and prevent bad actors in the marketplace, and surface educational content where it's needed most.

We’re looking for a truly full-stack engineer who’s not afraid to get their hands dirty in all parts of the internal tools codebase. On any given day, you may be fine-tuning SQL queries in the morning and writing CSS in the afternoon. Our team spends most of our time solving problems with PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML5 and MySQL.

Responsibilities:
  • Deploy production code as frequently as five times per day.
  • Build products that multiply the productivity of Etsy’s Member Operations, Legal, Human Resources, Finance and Public Relations teams.
  • Architect new products from the ground-up in a collaborative environment.
  • Learn about new technologies and share your findings with the team.

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 a larger creative culture represented by the hundreds of thousands of inspired artists and designers 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, Python, Ruby, Solr/Lucene, Postgres, MySQL, and more. Check out our engineering blog: http://codeascraft.etsy.com/

About You
You’re an engineer who is quick on your feet and is always craving the best solution to a problem. You enjoy collaborating with your teammates and recognize the value of healthy discussion.

You will be successful in this role if you:
  • Have experience developing internal applications that unify different parts of the stack and simplify complex workflows
  • Are known as an engineer who’s a "jack of all trades”
  • Enjoy working directly with the people who use your product
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Can be autonomous and self-driven
  • Help others around you grow as developers and be successful
  • Can create simple and clear solutions to complex problems

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 writing beautiful code, that means something to us, we’d love to hear about it.
