We build, power, and evolve the tools and technologies that connect millions of entrepreneurs with millions of buyers around the world. As an Etsy employee, you will tackle unique, meaningful, and large-scale problems alongside passionate coworkers, all the while making a rewarding impact and Keeping Commerce Human.\nWe believe exceptional companies are built by exceptional teams, and we’re intentional about it. That means hiring great people, setting them up for success from day one, and giving them real reasons to grow their careers here. We invest in development that goes beyond promotions, and we foster the trust and relationships that help people do their best work together.\nWhat’s the role?\nThe UX AI Enablement (UXAI) team is part of the User Experience Platform (UXP) group. We build the tools, workflows, and quality standards that help Etsy’s product teams use AI across product development. We work closely with Design, Product, Research, Engineering, and Design Systems to make it faster to go from an idea to a high-fidelity prototype that’s aligned with the Design System, and then move that prototype toward validation and production.\nWe are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team of four engineers building an internal Mac app that Etsy designers, product managers, and engineers use to create and edit interactive prototypes in our Design System. Users start from an existing Etsy experience and change it by describing what they want to an AI assistant, with no coding required. At Etsy, engineering managers have a limited role in the hands-on process of building software, but a very large role in orchestrating and coaching engineers to achieve results together.\nThis is a full time role reporting to the Director of Engineering, UX Platform.\nWhat’s this team like at Etsy?\nWe build an AI-assisted prototyping tool, a native Mac app, that helps teams explore and test web and iOS experiences faster and with more confidence. Android is coming soon.\nWe sit in the User Experience Platform group and partner daily with Design, Product, Research, Engineering, and Design Systems.\nWe work in the product model: teams own outcomes rather than a fixed feature list, and we keep testing ideas with users through continuous discovery and prototyping. We value people who can shape direction as we learn from users and prototypes.\nWhat does the day-to-day look like?\nLead your team as they build and maintain our AI-assisted prototyping tool and bring it to Android, helping designers, product managers, and engineers prototype faster and stay aligned with our design systems. At Etsy, engineering managers have a limited role in the hands-on process of building software, but a very large role in orchestrating and coaching engineers to achieve results together.\nServe as a coach, mentor, and advocate for the engineers on your team, giving regular feedback and investing in their career growth.\nOwn the team’s roadmap with product, design, and research, prioritizing against outcomes such as adoption across Etsy teams. Sequence the staged plans your engineers bring you and balance them against the team’s capacity.\nPartner with your product manager on adoption of the tool across Etsy: help set adoption goals, work with Design Systems and product teams on rollout, and make room for your team to bring user feedback back to the roadmap.\nSet the quality bar for the tool with your team, including how we measure the quality of its AI output.\nParticipate in the end-to-end recruiting process, hiring, and onboarding, and foster a culture of learning, collaboration, and thoughtful delivery.\nOf course, this is just a sample of the kinds of work this role will require! You should assume that your role will encompass other tasks, too, and that your job duties and responsibilities may change from time to time at Etsy’s discretion, or otherwise applicable with local law.\nQualities that will help you thrive\n1+ years of experience directly managing engineers who ship user-facing software, including providing leadership, mentorship, feedback, and investing in their career growth.\nA track record of shipping user-facing software to customers, with hands-on depth in native app development (preferred) or web front-end development, enough to guide design and make engineering tradeoffs based on problem and context.\nYou have experience building products that use generative AI and understand good systems design.\nYou can make engineering tradeoffs based on problem and context.\nYou can collaborate effectively with both junior and senior team members.\nCompensation & Benefits\nIn addition to salary, you'll be eligible for an equity package, an annual performance bonus, and our competitive benefits that support you and your family. Base salary is determined by your location, skills, and experience.\nEtsy uses two geographic pay zones to reflect the labor markets where we compete for talent: one called Geo-1, covering the New York City metropolitan area, San Francisco Bay Area, and Seattle metropolitan area, and one called Geo-2, covering all other U.S. locations. Salary ranges for this role vary by zone and are listed below.\nLocation\nWe prioritize candidates based within commutable distance of Etsy’s Brooklyn Office. Depending on proximity, we ask team members to come in once or twice per week. Remote candidates outside commutable distance may be considered on a case-by-case basis, with the expectation of occasional travel to the office. Learn more details about our work modes and workplace safety policies here.\nSalary Range:\n• Geo-1: 213,000.00 - 289,000.00 USD Annual\n• Geo-2: 192,000.00 - 260,000.00 USD Annual\n\nWhat's Next\nIf you're interested in joining the team at Etsy, please share your resume with us and feel free to include a cover letter if you'd like. As we hope you've seen already, Etsy is a place that values individuality and variety. We don't want you to be like everyone else -- we want you to be like you!
