Senior Software Engineer I, Data Enablement

About the role Etsy’s Data & ML Enablement organizations build the platforms, systems, and infrastructure that power internal teams to transform raw data into reliable insights and production‑grade ML systems. The Data Enablement organization is standing up a team of engineers who will sit at the intersection of these platforms and the product teams that depend on them. As a member of this team, you will embed with partner teams working on complex, high‑impact projects and help them successfully onboard to the Data and ML Enablement stack. You’ll design and implement integrations, data flows, and ML feature pipelines that turn platform capabilities into shipped outcomes, so teams can accelerate experimentation into real impact. You will focus on applying existing Data and ML Enablement offerings (events, canonical datasets, training and inference infrastructure, embeddings, etc.) to real product problems. You will also play a critical role in closing the loop with our platform teams by providing concrete, actionable feedback that improves developer experience and unlocks new use cases. We work in Scala, Python, Java, and SQL, and we partner closely with systems built on Spark, Kafka, Airflow, Looker, BigQuery, and other Google Cloud Platform services. Experience with any of these is helpful but not required; above all, we value curiosity, enthusiasm, responsibility, and generosity of spirit. Responsibilities Partner with product engineering, ML and analytics teams to scope new projects that depend on the Data and ML Enablement stack, clarifying requirements and mapping them onto existing capabilities. Help teams migrate ad‑hoc or legacy pipelines onto canonical data sources and standardized paved paths, reducing duplication and long‑term maintenance burden across the company. Debug and unblock tricky integration issues spanning multiple systems (e.g., events → canonical datasets → feature stores → training data → inference services), collaborating closely with platform owners where needed. Document patterns, examples, and “recipes” for successful integrations so future teams can move faster with less direct support. Provide structured, actionable feedback to Data and ML Enablement teams on gaps in APIs, tooling, documentation, and paved paths, based on what you see in the field. Qualifications A consistent track record of working with batch and streaming distributed systems (Spark, Kafka, Airflow) and cloud platforms (Google Cloud, AWS, etc.). Experience with machine learning systems and infrastructure, with interest in learning how large‑scale ML platforms are built and operated. Strong software engineering skills, with the ability to write production‑ready code in Java, Scala, Python, and/or other equivalent languages. A strong customer mindset: you enjoy collaborating directly with partner teams, understanding their workflows and constraints, and helping them succeed on top of our platforms. You are generous with your time and experience, and can mentor and learn from other engineers. You have curiosity about understanding the e‑commerce industry and the vast amount of data generated by the different functions of the company. Benefits In addition to a competitive salary (USD 164,000.00 – 193,000.00 annually), you will also be eligible for an equity package, an annual performance bonus, and a benefits package that supports you and your family as part of your total rewards package.
