Staff Software Engineer, Etsy

• We’re looking for someone who thrives in collaborative environments, challenges the status quo, and is a creative problem solver. Additionally, we are looking for someone who embodies Etsy’s blameless engineering culture, as we value clear communication, honest feedback, and empathy as the foundation for how we work together and get things done
• You have hands-on experience with A/B testing frameworks and experimentation workflows
• You’re excited about full-stack development, particularly in the context of building experimentation platforms
• You have experience providing technical leadership and mentoring others to grow in their craft
• You’ve built reliable, scalable systems and know how to balance long-term vision with practical delivery
• You write clean, testable code — and help others do the same — in one or more of the following languages: PHP, Python, or Java
• You’re proficient with MySQL (or similar relational databases) and experienced in designing data models that support robust, scalable systems
• You have experience with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform, AWS, or Azure
• You’re familiar with CI/CD tools and practices that support high-quality, rapid software delivery
• You’re familiar with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes
• You’re familiar with monitoring and alerting systems, such as Prometheus and Grafana
• You’re comfortable using Git and understand different branching strategies
• You’re comfortable working in Linux-based environments and know your way around the command line

Desirable

• You would join the Experimentation Orchestration team, which focuses on making experiment setup simple, intuitive, and reliable
• Partner with engineers, analysts, and product managers — both within and beyond the Experimentation initiative — to improve Etsy’s experimentation platform. Your work will focus on experiment configuration, orchestration, and event logging
• Take initiative to lead, design, and implement solutions that keep our platform at the forefront of industry standards — and ultimately a reference point for experimentation excellence
• Mentor and uplevel others within the team and across Etsy to help them grow as software engineers
• Advocate for experimentation best practices across engineering teams and contribute to a strong culture of learning and continuous improvement
• Play a key role in driving technical and product direction through thoughtful decision-making and collaboration
• Of course, this is just a sample of the kinds of work this role will require! You should assume that your role will encompass other tasks, too, and that your job duties and responsibilities may change from time to time at Etsy's discretion, or otherwise applicable with local law
