Job Duties
The team's job is helping Etsy sellers run their businesses effectively. Your job is designing and writing the code that runs Etsy shops so that our sellers can manage their businesses quickly, easily and effectively. We value the details, and want our sellers be successful and to love running their businesses on Etsy.
At Etsy, we consider performance to be one of our most important features. We are currently ranked as one of the top 5 e-commerce sites in terms of site performance, and our goal is to be #1. With over over 800,000 active Etsy sellers selling 500,000 or more handmade, vintage or supply items per week, everything we do must operate at high-scale.
You will be expected to implement the code and data storage behind the the capabilities described above. Most of our data storage is MySQL, and most code is written in PHP, but you'll also need to pull out your C, Java, and Perl chops once in a while. We also use HBase and we're always looking for engineers with BigData experience. Check out our engineering blog (http://codeascraft.etsy.com) for more information on how we get things done.
This role is primarily about the backend, but the walls here are thin and we expect you to be able to make basic web pages (primarily for prototypes and internal tools) and collaborate closely with frontend engineers. You'll write a lot of code, and use and modify lots of code written by the other engineers at Etsy. Most of our software is written in-house, but occasionally your software will need to speak to third party services.
Our projects are generally executed by small, cross-disciplinary teams. All of Etsy shares one codebase, and we continuously deploy our code to our production servers, an average of 30 or so times per day. Working well in this environment demands the ability to self-organize and drive your project to completion while continuously collaborating and communicating with your peers. Etsy's code, tools, and engineering culture environment are built largely on the initiative and generosity of our individual engineers, and we expect you to fix what's broken, help other projects succeed, and mentor the newer developers once you get settled.
