We code primarily in PHP and Javascript and work on cross-functional teams along with Product, Design and Analytics. You'll need to think hard about user experience, database transactions, performance, stability, metrics, and what it takes to move fast and iterate in a world full of sensitive user data. It's an exciting and fun environment with the opportunity to effect massive growth on an Etsy-sized scale.
