Etsy is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Compute Team. As Etsy rapidly grows, our engineering teams need to enable Etsy's growth while providing innovative ways to improve our systems.

We in the Compute Team build, operate and automate the tools and services for our Etsy engineering organization. We are currently transforming our platform to run on Google Cloud Platform, and develop automation services for the platform as we evolve to become cloud native.

Our team is responsible for the production infrastructure that responds to web browser and API client requests. The infrastructure consists of a LAMP stack with specific optimizations and tuning to support the volume of traffic we receive, as well as the velocity of deploys made by engineers. The team is also the home of growing expertise in container management and orchestration technology such as Kubernetes.

The Compute team is part of the Systems Engineering organisation that is tasked with operations and tool development for our production runtime infrastructure. We partner with engineers to identify areas of improvement in the flow from code development to production deployment as we build the platform that connects millions of sellers and customers.

We're looking for people who are excellent at working with others and are problem-solvers, passionate about software craft.
We value clear communication, honest feedback, and empathy for others. Etsy is actively preparing to move systems to a cloud provider, and this team will play a key role in this work. This is an exciting time to join Etsy, as the engineering team embarks on its next-generation work. 

This is a full-time role located in Dublin, Ireland.
