Role
Who you are
- Are you excited about building core data infrastructure that serves as a backbone for an organization? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
- Experience as a Product Manager in data or technology-focused roles, with a strong focus on building and managing data platforms
- Familiarity with both batch and streaming data technologies and their applications in modern data infrastructure
- Experience with Data Management practices, including data governance and data quality management across diverse datasets
- Proven success in establishing cross-functional partnerships, especially with Engineering and Analytics teams
- Strong communication skills for sharing technical concepts, project briefs, and strategic plans with broad and senior leadership groups
- A deep commitment to Etsy’s vision, mission, and values
What the job involves
- This is a full-time position reporting to the Director of Product, Data & ML Enablement
- We are looking for a Staff Product Manager to partner with our Engineering team in building a robust, scalable data platform that will empower our internal users (data scientists, analysts, MLEs, and product engineers) to leverage data effectively across Etsy
- This platform will support both batch and streaming data processing (Airflow, Spark, BigQuery, GCS, Kafka), providing a resilient infrastructure to power data-driven products, workflows, and insights across the organization
- This role, positioned within our growing Data Enablement Product organization, will play a crucial role in defining, executing, and evolving our data platform strategy
- At Etsy, data is foundational to everything we do
- Our data platform powers thousands of pipelines daily, from consumer-facing ML models to critical financial reporting
- In this Staff Product Manager role, you will be responsible for creating a reliable, high-performance data infrastructure that scales to meet Etsy’s evolving data needs and provides a solid foundation for advanced analytics, machine learning, and beyond
- Our Data Platform is dedicated to building software and platforms that reduce toil, increase access to data, and respects privacy
- We seek to build scalable systems that are flexible but maintainable
- Define the product vision and roadmap for a scalable Data Platform that supports the creation, management, and processing of batch and streaming data
- Take ownership of Data Management practices across the platform, including data governance, quality, and discoverability
- Develop methods and metrics to measure platform performance, scalability, and reliability, communicating insights and progress to senior leadership
- Build and maintain strong relationships with internal data users, gathering feedback to refine platform capabilities
- Guide the evolution of our platform strategy, incorporating industry advancements across batch and streaming data infrastructures
- Establish clear structures in this complex space, defining and prioritizing steps that add early value while progressing toward a cohesive long-term vision for the platform
- Of course, this is just a sample of the kinds of work this role will entail! You should assume that your responsibilities may grow and evolve over time at Etsy's discretion, in alignment with business needs and goals

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.
