• Data? Spreadsheets? Analytics? Totally your thing.

If you're interested in joining the team at Etsy, please send a cover letter along with your resume telling us why you'd be right for the position. As you’ve probably guessed, Etsy is a place that values individuality and variety. We don’t want you to be like everyone else, we don’t even want you to be like us—we want you to be like you! So write to us, in your own human voice, and tell us what you’re all about. Feel free to point us to any online presence you may have (weblog, Twitter, Facebook, rap sheet), and if you write, draw or practice a craft, that means something to us, and we would love to hear about it when you write!
