Overview

Etsy's Agent Platform and Experience team brings together six experienced engineers focused on making support agents more effective and improving the decisions they make for customers and the wider Etsy community. The team needs a full stack engineer for a freelance engagement to improve the agent tooling and infrastructure behind Etsy's support operation. Work centers on React and Angular frontends, PHP backend systems, and the plumbing that lets support agents handle requests at scale. The squad splits between the US East Coast and Ireland, so core collaboration hours run 9 to 12 EST. Experienced engineers on the team support your onboarding.

Work with product managers and designers to shape requirements and ship product features that matter to support agents.
Tune performance in slow areas of the codebase and remove bottlenecks that affect agent workflows.
