  • New York
  • Full-time

Company Description
Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods. We build, power, and evolve the tools and technologies that connect millions of entrepreneurs with millions of buyers around the world. As an Etsy Inc. employee, whether a team member of Etsy, Reverb, or Depop, you will tackle unique, meaningful, and large-scale problems alongside passionate coworkers, all the while making a rewarding impact and Keeping Commerce Human.

Salary Range:

$197,000.00 - $231,000.00

What’s the role?

Etsy is looking for a passionate Staff Software Engineer to help us enable data-driven learning and decision-making for our Experimentation initiative.

This is a high-impact opportunity to influence the technical direction of experimentation at Etsy, which affects feature development across the company. We’re looking for someone who thrives in collaborative environments, challenges the status quo, and is a creative problem solver.


This is a full-time position reporting to the Engineering Manager for Experimentation Orchestration. 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 the United States. Candidates living within commutable distance of Etsy’s Brooklyn Office Hub or in the San Francisco Bay Area may be the first to be considered. For candidates within commutable distance, Etsy requires in-office attendance once or twice per week depending on your proximity to the office. Etsy offers different work modes to meet the variety of needs and preferences of our team. Learn more details about our  work modes and workplace safety policies here.

What’s this team like at Etsy?

Our initiative empowers teams across Etsy to run fast, trustworthy, and scalable experiments by laying the foundation for how we test ideas, measure impact, and continuously improve our customer experience. 

You would join the Experimentation Orchestration team, which focuses on making experiment setup simple, intuitive, and reliable. We build the core services, APIs, and tools that help teams configure and launch experiments with confidence. Whether it’s feature flagging, observability, traffic allocation, or ensuring a consistent user experience, our work sits at the heart of a seamless experimentation workflow. Our mission is to make testing new ideas effortless — so teams can move faster, learn more, and build better products for our buyers and sellers.

We’re looking for someone who embodies Etsy’s blameless engineering culture, as we believe clear communication, honest feedback, and empathy are the foundation for how we work together and get things done.

What does the day-to-day look like?

  • Partner with engineers, analysts, and product managers — both within and beyond the Experimentation initiative — to improve Etsy’s experimentation platform. Your work will focus on experiment configuration, orchestration, and event logging.

  • Take initiative to lead, design, and implement solutions that keep our platform at the forefront of industry standards — and ultimately a reference point for experimentation excellence.

  • Mentor and uplevel others within the team and across Etsy to help them grow as software engineers.

  • Advocate for experimentation best practices across engineering teams and contribute to a strong culture of learning and continuous improvement.

  • Play a key role in driving technical and product direction through thoughtful decision-making and collaboration.

  • 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.

Qualities that will help you thrive in this role are:

  • You have hands-on experience with A/B testing frameworks and experimentation workflows.

  • You’re excited about full-stack development, particularly in the context of building experimentation platforms.

  • You have experience providing technical leadership and mentoring others to grow in their craft.

  • You’ve designed and built reliable, scalable systems and know how to balance long-term vision with practical delivery.

  • You write clean, testable code — and help others do the same — in one or more of the following languages: PHP, Python, or Java.

  • You’re proficient with MySQL (or similar relational databases) and experienced in designing data models that support robust, scalable systems.

  • You have experience with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform, AWS, or Azure.
