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. Etsy, Inc.'s 'house of brands' portfolio has expanded to now include four individually distinct ecommerce brands -- Etsy, fashion resale marketplace Depop, musical instrument marketplace Reverb, and Brazil-based handmade goods marketplace Elo7. As an Etsy employee, you'll 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

What’s the role?

As a Senior Product Designer on our App Core Experiences team, you will help craft the future of Etsy’s native experiences to help people all over the world to discover and buy unique, handcrafted items and support makers to grow their creative businesses.

Joining a team focused on and passionate about improving the core ecommerce experience in the app, we see you defining and crafting solutions that improve the buying experience. There will be collaboration with cross-functional product partners in engineering, research, analytics, and product management. We’re looking for you to share your deep knowledge of native app design and UX patterns, and the landscape of user experiences. You’ll be setting design strategy and priorities and running experiments to optimize the core shopping experience. A tried and tested set of processes for solving different types of customer and business problems will be required as well as knowing when to apply the right tool for the job.

What’s product design like at Etsy?

Typically, product designers at Etsy work in a squad with a product manager, 3-5 engineers, researcher and analyst. Together they drive their own part of Etsy, deliver solutions to stimulating problems and get feedback directly from customers.

Day to day, it looks like:

Discovering insights, opportunities, and requirements
Testing prototypes and hypotheses with users to collect feedback
Launching experiments and evaluating how they perform and how to iterate
Sharing your work to peers and leadership, async and in-person
Taking part in weekly design critiques, workshops, all hands and squad meetings
Thinking and writing about your process and sharing your decisions

Qualifications

Senior level at Etsy means you:

Run independently or give direction to designers within your team
Can lead workshops and effectively align the group around a vision and approach
Have a track record of crafting sophisticated flows and customer journeys
Can think and design at a system level, not just interface elements or pages
Regularly make use of your soft skills: listening, collaborating, decision-making
Spend time providing mentorship to other designers
Play a key part in hiring, onboarding, and improving our team’s culture and engagement

Qualities we value in designers:

Effective articulation of ideas and design solutions
Expressing feedback with courtesy and honesty
Tolerance for ambiguity and healthy curiosity
Translation of quantitative & qualitative insights into design decisions
Contribution to the Etsy experience: motivation, optimism, quality, integrity
