We’re looking for a self‑motivated, team minded Senior Full‑Stack Developer who wants to be part of the live‑event space.

You’ll get the opportunity to collaborate with our product and design teams to build new customer‑driven features used at some of the world’s most popular touring acts, festivals and sporting events like Coachella, Bottlerock, Superbowl, Pokémon, PGA Championships, etc.

• System‑focused mindset; care about the impact your code has downstream (performance, reliability, scalability).
• A reasonable level of obsession in wanting to solve problems, with a call‑a‑friend mentality to seek clarity and focus.
• Experience with backend services and asynchronous job processing.
• Experience with native layers on mobile devices.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with product, design and QA to ensure our products and services meet our customer’s needs, are performant and reliable, and minimize unnecessary complexity.

• Architect services and systems using accepted design patterns that allow for iterative, autonomous development and future scaling.

• Be considered the expert trouble‑shooter within your domain of expertise: lead investigations within area of specialization while maintaining a strong sense of product impact.
• Actively identify opportunities and risks across products and teams, mentor junior developers, and drive best practices.
• The usual dev‑activities you’d come to expect like: guiding ongoing maintenance, team technical principles, documentation, managing tech debt, code reviews, component / integration testing … the list goes on …
