How and Where We
Work at Etsy

Etsy is excited to share our enhanced hybrid work model, developed to encourage flexibility, autonomy, and impact.

We recognize that our employees can be high performers wherever they work and so, now that we've reopened our offices, we offer three different work modes to meet the variety of needs and preferences of our team.

Flex Mode

Flex mode gives employees the flexibility to work remotely most often, visiting the office at least 4-6 times per month.

Our most flexible and default option, Flex mode comes with great perks like bookable workstations, tasty in-office meals and snacks, access to IT equipment, and a home office stipend to support you when working from home. Flex means 4+ times in office per month for most, but additional visits may be expected depending on team needs. Of course, Flex employees can utilize our office spaces more often if they wish to!

Remote Mode

Based on your role and function, you may have the opportunity to work remotely from the US, Canada, Ireland, the UK, Mexico, or India.

You’ll have opportunities to travel to an Etsy office for key moments throughout the year, but the amount of expected travel will depend on your role and team. Our Remote mode also offers great benefits like co-working credits, access to IT equipment, a home office stipend, and virtual health and wellness offerings available to all employees.

Office-based Mode

Etsy’s offices are amazing, so it’s no surprise that some employees want to experience them 4-5 days a week!

Our Office-based mode caters to those office lovers, while still providing the flexibility to occasionally work from home. You’ll also be able to enjoy daily in-office meals and snacks, a designated desk in the office, and easy access to fun office events.

30 Days Away

On top of our flexible work model, our 30 Days Away offering provides employees with the opportunity to switch things up and work from another location for an extended time. Whether Flex, Remote, or Office-based, all employees can work from a wide selection of different locations for up to 30 consecutive calendar days each year!

Our Workplace Safety Policy

The health and safety of our teams is our top priority. Below are the health and safety measures being taken in our global offices.

Masks are not required in Etsy offices, but all offices remain mask-friendly zones and within our Brooklyn office, we offer two mask-required zones. We continue to encourage masking in small spaces, like elevators, to be mindful of others.
Employees are no longer required to test for COVID-19 before entering our offices, but Etsy provides test kits for those who prefer to continue testing prior to each visit.
When employees do test positive for COVID-19, they’re encouraged to follow our contact tracing policy.
Etsy has enhanced cleaning frequencies and disinfection standards for our offices. Desks, rooms, and open areas are cleaned and disinfected on a nightly basis, and open work areas and meeting areas are also cleaned throughout the day.
Our COVID-19 health and safety protocols, including mask wearing and distancing, may adjust over time as the health and safety guidance evolves in each of our locations.

To help us operate safely, we’ll continue to monitor conditions in each of our global locations. If there are new COVID-19 variants of concern or surges that warrant community action, we’ll adjust our policies accordingly.
