Software Engineer II
Etsy
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. Etsy, Inc.'s 'house of brands' portfolio has expanded to now include four individually distinct ecommerce brands – Etsy, fashion resale marketplace Depop, musical instrument marketplace Reverb, and Brazil-based handmade goods marketplace Elo7. 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
The Delivery Prophecies team sits within the Core Fulfillment initiative, which is a group that helps sellers manage and fulfill their orders, while also setting buyer expectations around fulfillment so they can make well-informed purchase decisions. Our work spans both the buyer and seller side of Etsy, which requires a breadth of knowledge with frontend and backend technologies; we typically own the products we build end to end.
Our team's domain spans across the site, so our work provides opportunities to learn about various technologies. Just in the past few months, we dove deep into:
Building systems to infer fulfillment data based on past seller behavior
Developing a search filter to enable buyers to search for items according to when they'd be delivered to them
Injecting fulfillment-related data into Etsy's search ranking pipeline to impact which search results buyers see
Multiple A/B tests to determine how best to improve seller fulfillment practices and communicate them with buyers
Building upon Etsy's Open API to gather more fulfillment data from sellers
We're looking for someone who collaborates well with others, enjoys autonomy in their work, and cares deeply about the quality of their code. Our team is comprised of full-stack engineers, and we primarily use PHP, JavaScript, and TypeScript. We don't require you to have these skills, but it is important that you have full-stack experience.
We are considering candidates based in the United States for this position. Etsy offers three different work modes to meet the variety of needs and preferences of our team: Flex mode for candidates who are comfortable traveling to an office location 2+ times per week, Remote mode, and Office-based mode.

Collaborate with our cross-functional teams and business partners across Etsy.
Contribute at all levels of our web application stack, ranging from front-end web interfaces to back-end technologies. We use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, PHP, MySQL, and Memcache, but it's okay if you don't have experience with all of these!
We are proud to have an engineering culture that encourages career growth and learning. You can learn more about our philosophies, tools, and some of the challenges we’ve been solving on Code as Craft, our engineering blog.
