What's this team like at Etsy?
Money Movement sits at the heart of Etsy Payments.
We:
Own services and integrations that enable every transaction on the Etsy Marketplace.
Collaborate with Analytics to instrument, monitor, and optimize every aspect of the flow of funds, from the payment instrument the buyer uses all the way through to disbursing proceeds to our sellers.
Stay ahead of the constantly evolving payments landscape, exploring and introducing new technologies when they present opportunities to better serve Etsy's customers.
Operate in a domain with high reliability expectations, critical external dependencies, and meaningful direct impact on Etsy's revenue and seller trust.
What does the day-to-day look like?
As the Engineering Manager for Money Movement, you will:
Own execution and delivery for your team
Translate high-level business goals into actionable workstreams.
Run the team's planning ceremonies and keep the roadmap aligned with our organizational priorities.
Ensure we ship iteratively, manage risk thoughtfully, and maintain high operational standards.
Lead a team of experienced software engineers
Mentor and coach the engineers reporting to you.
Run regular 1:1s, guide performance and career development, and foster an inclusive, high-trust team culture.
Provide hands-on technical leadership
Partner with senior engineers to shape technical direction, architecture, and sequencing for the squad's roadmap.
Participate in design and code reviews; ask the technical questions that steer the team to make pragmatic trade-offs around reliability, scale, and delivery speed.
Help the team navigate the adoption of agentic tooling in the product development process.
Partner with Analytics
Work closely with embedded Analytics partners to define the metrics that describe Money Movement health (e.g., authorization/settlement success, payout timeliness, error rates).
Use data and experimentation to inform prioritization and validate whether changes are improving outcomes for buyers, sellers, and the business.
Contribute to Payments-wide leadership
Work with other Payments managers and Tech Leads on shared standards, platform investments, and incident response.
Help define guidelines for how we build and maintain systems across the organization especially as we increasingly move towards agentic tooling.
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.
Depth in backend systems

You have experience managing software engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development.
