Job title: Software Engineer, API & Data
Company: Etsy
Job description: Company Description
Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods. We build, power, and evolve the tools and technologies that connect entrepreneurs with buyers around the world. As an Etsy employee, you’ll tackle unique problems alongside talented coworkers committed to Keeping Commerce Human. We’re large enough that you’ll focus on meaningful, complex challenges, but small enough that you can make a rewarding impact.
Job Description
Part of Etsy’s mission is to help connect buyers and sellers. The Payments team works on that goal by enabling buyers and sellers to transact seamlessly with each other across countries, languages, and currencies. Specifically, we drive products where money changes hands on and off the site, including checkout, billing, and giftcards. Our systems process millions of dollars a day and are part of the foundation the Etsy marketplace is built on. It’s an exciting and fun environment with the opportunity to effect massive growth on an Etsy-sized scale.
We touch all parts of the Etsy web stack – primarily PHP, MySQL and Memcache on the server side. Specifically, this team is focused on the API & Data components of our payments experience.
You’ll need to think hard about database transactions, sharding, replication, performance, stability, and metrics, and what it takes to move fast and iterate in a world full of sensitive cardholder data. You’ll be expected to write infrastructure code, command-line tools, move mountains of data, optimize code for site performance and various other forms of heavy-lifting. We launch products and we maintain them, and take pride when other teams extend them in ways we hadn’t initially conceived.
This role is based in Brooklyn, NY (once we reopen our offices).
Many Etsy roles are open to remote candidates, and you’ll be able to identify which ones within the location header of each job description. For candidates who will work remotely from Colorado, visit this for information related to Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act.
Qualifications
- You’re an engineer who can turn ideas into extremely fast and reliable code that other people – or you, six months into the future – will find easy to comprehend and modify.
- You believe in Etsy’s vision of a human-driven economy, and are passionate about building the products that enable that economy.
- You have a background of success in solving complex engineering challenges within APIs and databases
You will be successful in this role if you:
Care as much about building great products as you do writing great code.
Have a knack for organization and breaking down large problems into smaller ones.
Can be autonomous and self-driven.
Strong database experience, especially around scaling applications.
You can spin yarns about how you’ve done this right and wrong at your previous jobs. And we’ll give bonus points if you can actually spin yarn.
Understanding of the various aspects involved in running a large-scale web site.Help others around you grow as developers and be successful.
Enjoy learning about and interacting with the people who use your product.
