What's Next
If
you're interested in joining the team, please send us your resume. You
won’t be surprised to hear, though, that we won’t consider it without a
cover letter. Let us know how you fit the bill for each of our
requirements above. Etsy is a place that values individuality and
variety, so use your judgment and write to us in your own voice. If you
have a presence on the web that we can easily access (Twitter, Facebook,
rap sheet), contribute to an open source project, write a blog, or
practice another craft besides designing beautiful, functional websites,
that means something to us, we’d love to hear about it.
