What’s this team like at Etsy?
- As part of the core buyer experiences group, the collecting web team is responsible for maintaining and improving the favoriting ecosystem on Etsy.com, as well as how to help customers make purchasing decisions through the aid of collections and gift lists!
- We are a true product engineering team, focused on building delightful experiences for people buying on Etsy.
- You will work directly with Design, Product, and Engineering across product and enablement teams and collaborate with sister native app teams. Your work will have a multiplier effect, touching all of Etsy’s product teams as well as every piece of the customer journey.
- Collecting is a cross-functional, cross-platform initiative made up of 20+ web and native engineers who are fun, curious, collaborative and passionate leaders - if that resonates with you, please join us!
What does the day-to-day look like?
- Be responsible for the design, development and implementation of highly maintainable and scalable systems by contributing at all levels of our web application stack.
- Collaborate with teammates to independently tackle well-scoped problems, regularly deliver work to end users and be a primary contributor to team’s goals.

- Create and update reusable components that are used by product teams across all of Etsy.

- Identify and propose tracks of work that reduce tech debt and move our product forward.
- Serve as an advocate for engineering best practices and contribute to the engineering vision.
- Be a mentor and guide to fellow engineers.
- 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.
Qualities that will help you thrive in this role are:
- Desire to understand the “why” behind your team’s work, and how it benefits our customers.
- You have expertise building customer-facing web applications, using both back-end technologies (we use PHP, MySQL, Memcache) and front-end frameworks (TypeScript, React, SCSS).
- Thrive when faced with customer and product-focused challenges, using experimentation, and both quantitative and qualitative methods, to drive decision-making.
- Strength in frequent collaboration and communication within a cross-functional product team.
- Successful track record of scoping, roadmapping, and leading projects to completion, with a passion for mentoring and coaching other engineers in a compassionate manner.
- A growth mindset, with an appreciation for receiving feedback and embracing unexpected outcomes as learning opportunities.
