About The Position

We are looking for a Software Engineer to help improve Etsy's development workflows and environments. As a Developer Platform Engineer, you'll build infrastructure and tooling that enables other engineers to write, test, and ship code more effectively. You'll work alongside experienced engineers on meaningful projects spanning CI/CD, dev environments, and our engineering architecture. This role is a great fit if you enjoy solving problems, care about code quality, and want to grow your skills in a platform engineering context. This is a full-time position reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager.

Requirements

Curiosity and a desire to keep learning, including picking up new frameworks and technologies as problems demand.
Ability to work collaboratively and take direction well while building toward greater independence over time.
Care about shipping complete, well-tested work, not just getting features across the finish line.
Organized and attentive to detail, with an appreciation for tests and documentation.
Some exposure to infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Chef, or similar) or willingness to learn.
Familiarity with CI/CD concepts, non-production environments, and software development lifecycle workflows.

Responsibilities

Build infrastructure and tooling that enables other engineers to write, test, and ship code more effectively.
Work alongside experienced engineers on meaningful projects spanning CI/CD, dev environments, and our engineering architecture.
Focus on increasing developer velocity and decreasing engineering friction while using industry-standard tooling.
Work closely with other infrastructure, product, and SRE teams to ensure consistency between development and production.
Actively work on SDLC, CI/CD, and infrastructure architecture at Etsy, as well as improving the developer working environment.
Participate in agile ceremonies such as stand-ups, sprint planning, and retros.
Participate in on-call rotations and provide Slack support for engineering "customers".
Conduct pull request reviews and discussions with a focus on quality software engineering practices.
Write and update documentation with clear protocols for other engineers to follow.
Collaborate with engineers across teams to solve shared problems.
