About The Team

The Web Recommendations team is focused on enhancing the user journey throughout the Etsy marketplace, focusing on creating high-quality discovery experiences. We work to reduce friction for our buyers, making sure they have an easy and inspiring experience throughout their buying journey. We also work to improve performance and architecture to pave the way for future product features.

We are a cross-functional product development team consisting of engineers, product managers, designers, product marketers, data analysts, and user researchers.

• You are comfortable collaborating closely with product managers and designers, providing estimates or product ideas that will influence your team’s roadmap.
• You take pride in owning work from ideation through completion.
• You are a mindful, transparent, and thoughtful communicator.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Any experience with TypeScript, Scala, Airflow, or a basic understanding of ML algorithms and recommendation systems is a bonus.
• You thrive when faced with customer and product-focused challenges and care as much about building great products as you do writing great code.
• You love to experiment and use both quantitative and qualitative methods to drive decision-making.
• You enjoy being a mentor and mentee.

Hours and Location:

• M-F, 40 hours/week
