The ticketing industry is messy, complex and makes attending live events more difficult than it should be; we believe a thoughtful application of software can fix that.

Like many other startups, SeatGeek started off as one application, one database, one website. Over time, our user base grew to the millions, and we started offering new and more sophisticated products to users, event managers, and promoters. This has required us to expand our original software and build many other systems and services that collaborate to deliver our products and services.

Scaling the organization with intention is the mission of our Application Platform team. We tackle the toughest crosscutting engineering problems at SeatGeek. We take ownership of the implementation of systems that are not rational or urgent at a team view, but essential at the organizational level. We create scalable and reliable systems that are on the critical path of our users, such as our feature flag and experimentation platform, our virtual waiting room Vroom, and our OAuth implementation. We play a large role in our API and BFF strategy, authentication & authorization, and observability.

Who you are

We are looking for engineers who have a passion for and experience in building production-ready distributed applications using microservices.

  • You are comfortable working in cloud technologies such as Fastly, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, or Amazon API Gateway
  • You have solid experience in at least two programming languages like Python, Go, C#, or Java
  • You have extensive experience in building distributed systems communicating through technologies such as HTTP, gRPC, Kafka, and RabbitMQ
  • You have a good understanding of storage systems such as Postgres, MySQL, DynamoDB, and Redis, including complex queries and optimization
  • You are very experienced in distributed architectures, Test-Driven Development, API design, and architecture patterns
  • You are opinionated on how scalable and reliable systems are structured, communicate with each other, are observed & monitored, and handle authentication & authorization

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

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!

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.
