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, youll 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

As a member of our Data Platform team, youll help us build infrastructure and tools for collecting and processing data in streaming and batch pipelines. Your work will enable other developers and data scientists to write custom data pipelines that power data science, machine learning, and product development.

You should have experience building and supporting at scale data processing platforms, and collaborating with other teams that use them. Experience building applications using one of the major cloud providers is a bonus but not required. We value curiosity, enthusiasm, responsibility and generosity of spirit.

We primarily write in Java, Scala, and Python and use technologies like Kafka, Kafka Streams, Kubernetes, Avro/Protobuf, Airflow, and GCP services like Dataproc, Dataflow, and BigQuery. This is a full time role. Our team is headquartered in Brooklyn, but we support remote work and accept remote applicants.
