The Role

We’re looking for a Full Stack Developer who wants to build meaningful products, not just complete tickets.

This role is for someone who can take a problem from idea to production, make smart technical decisions, and cares deeply about whether the thing they built actually works for customers. You’ll work across the stack, contributing to customer-facing product experiences, APIs, backend systems, data models, and the infrastructure that supports them. Our environment includes technologies such as React, TypeScript, and Next.js on the frontend, alongside Django -powered backend services and the broader platform infrastructure that supports our products at scale.

We’re looking for someone with strong technical fundamentals, good judgement, and a bias for action. You should be comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions, and proposing better ways to solve problems.

This is a great role for either a strong intermediate developer ready to grow into senior-level impact, or a senior developer who wants ownership, speed, and product influence.

What You’ll Do:

Build and ship full-stack features from idea to production

Build polished, reliable product experiences across the stack using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Django

Design, build, and improve APIs and backend workflows

Work with PostgreSQL and help evolve our data models

Build tools that help event organizers manage, grow, and improve their events

Improve the attendee experience from discovery to checkout to event entry

Debug production issues and strengthen the reliability of our systems

Work closely with product, design, support, and engineering leadership

Use modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows, to improve speed and quality

Challenge assumptions, identify better solutions, and take ownership of outcomes

What Makes Someone Successful Here:

Care about the customer impact of what you’re building

Like owning problems, not just completing assigned tickets

Can work through ambiguity and make thoughtful technical decisions

Move quickly while still caring about quality

Have strong fullstack product instincts

Enjoys working with and supporting their team members in-office

Are comfortable working across the stack

Know when to ask for help and when to make a decision

Use tools thoughtfully, but do not rely on them as a substitute for understanding

Want to keep getting better as an engineer

What You Bring:

4+ years of software development experience

experience building modern frontend applications using React, Vue, or a similar framework

Backend development experience, ideally with Python/Django or similar frameworks

Experience designing, consuming, and debugging APIs

Experience with PostgreSQL or another relational database

Strong problem-solving skills and sound engineering judgement

Comfort working in a fast-moving environment

A self-starter mindset and a strong sense of ownership

Interest in using modern tools and workflows to become more effective

Nice to Have:

Strong React + TypeScript experience

Experience with high-traffic, transactional, or event-driven systems

Background jobs, queues, Celery, Redis, or similar tools

Cloud experience, especially GCP

Observability tools such as Sentry, Datadog, or similar

Experience building or integrating AI-powered product features

Experience in ticketing, payments, marketplaces, live events, or commerce
