Software Engineer Intern, 2025

Company Description
Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods. We build, power, and evolve the tools and technologies that connect millions of entrepreneurs with millions of buyers around the world. As an Etsy Inc. employee, whether a team member of Etsy, Reverb, or Depop, you will tackle unique, meaningful, and large-scale problems alongside passionate coworkers, all the while making a rewarding impact and Keeping Commerce Human.

What’s the role?

We are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to help build new and amazing experiences for people buying and selling on Etsy.

As a Software Engineering Intern you will join Etsy to take on practical problems in a strong engineering environment, while being mentored by some of the most dedicated engineers in the industry. We're looking for full-stack engineers. The teams working on each feature are pretty small (a few engineers, a designer, and a product manager), so there's a lot of significant collaboration.

Because we're making user-facing features, we believe strongly in gathering and analyzing numerical data to help guide our decisions. To that end, you'll be able to use our in-house analytics tools to gather information and gain insights. You'll also be able to use Etsy's Continuous Deployment architecture to push code to production whenever you please (and you'll probably push on your first day here).

Do you find joy in collaborating with peers on solutions and taking risks by experimenting with technology to improve a product? If so, this could be the perfect match.

This is a full-time position reporting to the Engineering Manager and the base salary range will be $30 - $35 EUR per hour.

For this role, we are considering candidates based in Dublin, Ireland. Candidates living within commutable distance of Etsy’s Dublin Office Hub may be the first to be considered.

• Of 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.
