- Proficiency in Kotlin and Java
- 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 Android debugging practices and tools and can communicate complex technical issues in clear language

- 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

- This is a full-time position reporting to the Engineering Manager
- This is a full-time role within the Inventory Buyer Experience Initiative on our Perso Buyer Team. Our team is dedicated to developing features that improve clarity and interaction with listings which offer both personalized and customized options

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.
