What the job involves
- Etsy is seeking a Senior Security Software Engineer I to join our Identity and Access Management (IAM) team within the larger Security org
- This role will utilize IAM experience to provide input in the direction of our new team, and help mature Etsy’s identity and access management program
- You’ll be tasked with leading the direction of moderately complex and loosely scoped engineering projects within the IAM domain
- This includes developing a role based access control solution, consolidating authentication at Etsy and retiring outdated methods, and improving our identity governance such as user access reviews
- This is a full-time position reporting to the Engineering Manager of IAM and Compliance Engineering
- A newly formed team within our larger Security Organization, our purpose is to ensure Etsy Admin have the right access to the right resources at the right time
- We do this by handling authentication to systems via SSO identity providers, crafting access management solutions, implementing detective controls around access, and maintaining overall IdP security
- You will help craft, develop, and implement IAM solutions to manage user identities, roles, and access privileges across the organization
- You will work with authentication mechanisms, single sign-on (SSO) solutions, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods to improve security posture
- You are familiar with identity authentication protocols such as OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth
- You will help implement identity governance and improved access control solutions, including user provisioning, access certification, and attribute-based access control (ABAC)
- You will work with TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, PHP, and may also use other languages
- You will work with a variety of tools, including Okta, Terraform, Chef, and GCP native tools
- You are comfortable providing estimates or project ideas that will influence your team’s roadmap
- 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.
