Job Description
Etsy is seeking data mining scientists to join our data mining team. As a scientist at Etsy, you will be developing cutting edge algorithms that drive our recommender systems and search ranking engines. This development includes both research and engineering across our entire stack: data analysis and algorithmic prototyping, implementation within our Hadoop infrastructure, and integration with Etsy's web stack. You love experimentation and are motivated to understand everything you build, from algorithmic changes to front-end improvements. You look forward to embracing our continuous deployment process at Etsy and believe in a highly iterative approach to problem solving.
About the Engineering Team
The technical staff at Etsy believes that code is craft, good software and systems designs are works of art, and that the work we do is part of larger creative culture represented by the hundreds of thousands of inspired makers who make Etsy such a wondrous marketplace. We believe that small, empowered, self-motivated teams can do big things. We also believe in the right tool for the job, not language-as-religion. Our current systems run PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, Solr/Lucene, Postgres, MySQL, and more. Check out our Engineering blog: http://codeascraft.etsy.com/

Integrate algorithms with Etsy's web stack via PHP and javascript
Deploy continuously, test continuously, and learn
About You
To be a great fit for this role, you have:
3+ years experience building industrial data mining systems
Experience with Hadoop and working with multi-terabyte systems
Deep understanding and experience with state of the art machine learning and data mining algorithms
Experience working on search ranking algorithms in an industrial setting

You'll get to work with some of the brightest, most creative people you've ever met—but you'll also be challenged to be one of those people. We have full company-paid benefits, including family and domestic partner benefits, humane working hours, couches, quiet spaces, lunch twice a week and handmade desks.
Dogs are part of the team, and are expected to commit code.
