SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we're simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry.
We are looking for Data Engineers with varying levels of experience to join SeatGeek's data platform team. As a team, we share common views on experimental rigor, pragmatism, and software quality. Data engineers focus on maintaining and expanding our ecosystem of data pipelines. These pipelines provide the basis for many crucial downstream processes: complex analyses, data products, and business performance measurement.
What you'll do

  • Deploy a high-performance ML model that processes a stream of user activity to detect changes in event demand
  • Build a new stream ingestion process to efficiently send and store currently live listings as users see them
  • Build reporting infrastructure and integrations for our enterprise clients (pro sports teams, Broadway theaters, etc.)


Who you are
The ideal candidate can relay complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, enjoys partnering with both business users and application developers, and has a proven ability to build systems that allow greater clarity, consistency, and efficiency in utilizing data. Experience with specific tools is less important than aptitude and drive, but at a minimum, we would expect:

  • 3-5 years experience developing on and maintaining ETL systems, and a high level understanding of different data processing systems
  • Experience working cross-functionally with different business units to translate business problems into data problems and solve them
  • Comfort turning ideas into code (bonus points for experience with Python or Scala)
  • Proficiency with analytical and operational SQL queries, and knowledge of how to optimize and troubleshoot


Bonus points for candidates who have experience with or desire to learn any of the following:

  • Data-processing frameworks (Spark, Flink)
  • Streaming data/message queues (Akka streams, Kafka)
  • AWS infrastructure (we use Redshift, S3, EMR, Kinesis, Lambda, Glue, and RDS)
  • Dimensional modeling, especially in e-commerce or consumer tech
  • Database internals and tuning, trade-offs and benefits of different datastores (both analytical and transactional)
  • Optimization of complex data workflows that reconcile batch and streaming data
  • Dependency management at scale across multiple classes of data source


The tools we use
You absolutely do not need experience with all of these, but we thought you might be curious. Tools can be learned, so we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language.

  • Languages: Scala and Python for general purpose development
  • Frameworks: Luigi f or dependency management, Spark on EMR for map/reduce
  • Stack: Docker containers running on Nomad on AWS
  • Streaming: Flink, Akka Streaming, Kinesis (+Firehose), and Kafka
  • Datastores: Postgres, MySQL and SQL Server in production, Redshift and S3
  • Other: AWS Lambda, Git, dbt , Docker


Perks:

  • Equity stake
  • Flexible work environment, allowing you to work as many days a week in the office as you'd like or 100% remotely
  • A WFH stipend to support your home office setup
  • Flexible PTO
  • Up to 16 weeks of paid family leave
  • 401(k) matching program
  • Health, vision, dental, and life insurance
  • Annual subscriptions to Headspace, Ginger.io, and One Medical
  • $120 a month to spend on tickets to live events
  • Annual subscription to Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon music


The salary range for this role is $130,000-$240,000. Actual compensation packages within that range are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years and depth of experience, certifications, and specific location.

An Insider's view of SeatGeek

What are some social events your company does?

The importance of gathering is baked into our DNA at SeatGeek! We always take time to celebrate milestones together, whether in person or virtually, and, while we throw an amazing End of Year party, my favorite events are a little more personal! We empower employees to create their own social events from fitness classes to crafting or or tv nights!

Erin

Workplace & People Programs Manager

What projects are you most excited about?

An ongoing project I am excited about is the redesign of one of the core flows in our app. It is a high impact, cross functional initiative and I love how we’ve been able to implement a new technical foundation, introduce new features, and improve the user experience. I’m looking forward to the initial release and gathering insights from consumers!

Software Engineer II

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We encourage teams to solve problems and create delightful customer experiences, not implement pre-defined solutions. Our teams leverage research/data to understand our customers needs and behaviors, but we also believe that giving teams the space to be creative during a discovery phase opens the possibilities of what they can come up with.
