What’s the role?

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer II to join Etsy's Fulfillment Platform team. In this role, you'll collaborate closely with teams across the organization to ensure Etsy's ecosystem has accurate, complete, and easily accessible fulfillment data. Your contributions will be crucial in creating seamless experiences for both our internal teams and customers. As a member of this mission-critical team, your work will impact many areas within the domain and may even shape the strategic direction of your entire department.

This is a full-time position reporting to the Engineering Manager. In addition to salary, you will also be eligible for an equity package, an annual performance bonus, and our competitive benefits that support you and your family as part of your total rewards package at Etsy. 

For this role, we are considering candidates based in Mexico, however candidates living

within commutable distance of the Etsy Mexico office will be the first to be considered. Even if located

within commuting distance of an office, you will have the option to work office-based, flex, or remotely.

Etsy offers different work modes to meet the variety of needs and preferences of our team. Learn more about our Flex and Office-based work modes and workplace safety policies here.

What’s this team like at Etsy?

• We have full-stack engineers on the team, but most of our work is focused on backend development.

• We ensure that every piece of fulfillment data within Etsy's ecosystem is thoroughly vetted, corrected, and maintained to the highest standards of accuracy.

• We strive to fill every gap in Etsy's fulfillment data, leaving no piece of crucial information untracked or missing.

• We work closely with all domains within fulfillment to ensure alignment and understanding of data needs and priorities.

What does the day-to-day look like?

• Serve as an advocate for making fulfillment data accessible across Etsy.

• Gain insights through research, data analysis, and our A/B tests.

• Push code to production early and often using our continuous deployment systems.

• Build and maintain observability and test tooling - logging, monitoring, distributed tracing, alerting and offline test tools.

• You will mainly focus on backend technologies, including PHP, MySQL, Bigtable, GCS, Memcache, Gearman, and more.

• You will improve the overall quality of engineering done on your team and consistently take steps to support the growth and success of your teammates.

• You will ensure systems are maintainable and expandable by others to prevent single points of failure for both systems and people.

• You will move the business forward in unknown problem spaces with creative solutions backed in proofs of concept.

• 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.

[Qualification Section]

Qualities that will help you thrive in this role are:

• You have experience with both back-end technologies (PHP, MySQL, Memcache) and front-end frameworks (TypeScript, React, SCSS).

• Experience with data streaming / processing platforms like Apache Kafka and Spark is a plus.

• Proven success in leading and solving complex, undefined problems.

• Experience in cloud-based infrastructure, specifically Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

• Experience leading, mentoring, and coaching other engineers in a compassionate manner

• Strong track record of working closely with product managers and designers, providing estimates and product ideas that impact the team’s roadmap.

• You have a “leave it better than you found it” mentality, and are willing to work with and improve on code written by others.
