Engineering Manager, Payments Money Movement

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 employee, whether a team member of Etsy 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.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Payments Money Movement squad. This team is responsible for how funds move into and out of Etsy’s ecosystem – from buyer payments, to seller disbursements, to the underlying ledgers and integrations that keep everything accurate and timely.

As the Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of experienced engineers, work closely with Product, Analytics, and Partnerships, and help develop and operate systems that process billions of dollars annually with high reliability and strong risk controls.

This is a full‑time position reporting to the Director of Engineering. In addition to salary, you will also receive an equity package, an annual performance bonus, and competitive benefits. The role requires presence in Etsy’s Dublin office once or twice per week. Candidates living within commutable distance of the Dublin office may be considered first.

• Operate in a domain with high reliability expectations, critical external dependencies, and meaningful direct impact on Etsy’s revenue and seller trust.

• Experience designing, building, or operating distributed backend services in a high‑scale web or financial systems environment.
  
• Comfortable diving into architecture discussions, understanding trade‑offs around consistency, idempotency, and fault tolerance, and helping your team understand many integrations.

• Experience managing software engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development.
  
• Management style centered on service, enablement, clear expectations, and accountability.
  

•
