Role
Who you are
- Experience making products with public cloud providers, such as Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, or Microsoft Azure
- Ability to leverage infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, and similar tools
- Successful track record of collaboration with distributed teams of both technical and non-technical individuals
- Experience working with production systems around Machine Learning models at scale
- Enjoy thinking about the implications of your work on end users. You are comfortable collaborating with Product Managers to ensure that you’re delivering impactful product features
- Have excellent communication skills, and are enthusiastic and forward-looking!
- Are invested in Etsy’s vision, mission and values
What the job involves
- We are looking for Senior Machine Learning Software Engineer to join the Delivery Accuracy team within our Fulfillment initiative
- As the Senior Machine Learning Software Engineer you will be responsible for diving into the nuance of Etsy’s fulfillment data to generate ML solutions that help generate real-world predictions for complex calculations such as delivery speed and cost
- You’ll be working closely with both Full Stack Engineers and Machine Learning Engineers to bridge the gaps between how we capture data and how we utilize it to build models that can deliver value to end users
- You and your team will be responsible for the full cycle of fulfillment-related Machine Learning model development: devising, training, testing, releasing, observing, and optimizing
- The Delivery Accuracy team sits within the Core Fulfillment initiative, which is a group that helps sellers manage and fulfill their orders, while also setting buyer expectations around fulfillment so they can make well-informed purchase decisions
- The Delivery Accuracy team’s focus is to utilize data to ensure the fulfillment promises we make to buyers meet rigorous standards and expectations
- Collaborate closely with Engineers, Product Managers, and Data Analysts to develop solutions to help sellers better run their businesses and remain competitive
- Collaborate with our cross-functional teams and business partners across Etsy
- Help plan and develop innovative solutions to complex business problems
- Develop with an eye on quality, using performance monitoring tooling, automated and manual testing, and observability tools to verify the correctness and quality of your work
- Establish and maintain monitoring and alerting systems around Machine Learning for Fulfillment
- 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
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. A hike in transaction fees and the introduction of mandatory marketing fees for artists with high turnovers created significant discontent amongst sellers. Despite this, Etsy continues to connect artists and consumers, attracting shoppers with its message of extraordinary, handmade and affordable products.
