Role
Who you are
- At least 5+ years of professional iOS development experience, ideally in a product-minded environment

- Are generous with your time and experience, and have mentored other engineers in the past
- Have previously worked on large applications with many developers or teams
- Can define and tackle unconstrained problems, and know when to seek help when no progress is being made
- Approach engineering from a product perspective. The work you'll do here will impact millions of users and it is important to understand their problems and find effective solutions for them
- Have app(s) published on the App Store, demonstrating a strong product focus and an eye for design
- Experience in iOS debugging practices and tools and can communicate complex technical issues in clear language
- Proficiency with version control tools (our tooling and processes are based on git and GitHub)
- Are passionate about beautiful code and quality development practices
- Have experience with testing (unit tests, functional tests, visual tests) and accessibility frameworks
- Have a “leave it better than you found it” mentality, and are willing to work with and improve on code you did not originally write
What the job involves
- We are looking for a product focussed iOS Engineer, to join a multidisciplinary app development team, where you will work alongside other native and backend engineers, product manager, designer, and researchers to bring exciting features for our iOS app users
- You will have the opportunity to work on the biggest bets for Etsy's business and contribute directly to Etsy's goals and growth
- This is a full-time position reporting to the Engineering Manager
- You will be part of a Gifting Discovery team within our Buyer Experience department, responsible for developing a delightful gifting experience for millions of users as they shop for nearly one hundred million items on the Etsy Marketplace. Some of our team values are:
- We work together to form an effective, high-functioning, and lively team
- We source ideas and collaborate with other teams
- We build, and ship fast in a blameless environment
- We care deeply about our users, and take pride in providing a quality experience
- We assume positive intent in our day to day conversations, and we are here for each other
- We prioritize equitable treatment, inclusivity, and diversity
- Collaborate across Product, Design, Analysts, Researchers, and Engineering to build innovative and outstanding gifting experience on iOS app
- Build high-quality end to end product features in a fast paced agile environment
- Run A/B experiments to validate product improvements
- Lead and assist in performing product testing including unit, functional, visual, etc
- Continue to advance your skills in using modern iOS technologies in a collaborative setting
- Confidently communicate technical issues with all vital stakeholders
- In collaboration with your team, craft and improve processes that impact iOS app development across Etsy
- 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 occasionally at Etsy's discretion, or otherwise applicable with local law

As we hope you've seen already, Etsy is a place that values individuality and variety. We don't want you to be like everyone else -- we want you to be like you! So tell us what you're all about
Our take
Created as an alternative to more corporate eCommerce sites, Etsy is a peer-to-peer (P2P) website where users buy and sell handmade crafts, vintage items, art, and photography. The online marketplace works similarly to Amazon and eBay, only with an emphasis on unique items rather than mass-produced merchandise.
Since its IPO in 2015, it has managed to hold its own in an increasingly competitive eCommerce industry, including from Amazon's handmade section that launched in 2015. Further, by providing sellers with ownership over pricing and branding, the site is attractive for those wanting to set up a business on an established platform.
However, the seller-side of Etsy is not without problems. The recent hike in transaction fees and the introduction of mandatory marketing fees for artists with high turnovers has created significant discontent amongst sellers. Etsy must reconcile these issues to ensure artists continue to operate on the same scale within the platform. It plans to attract shoppers with its message of extraordinary, handmade and affordable products.
