We help shape our platform that brings people together through live events. Your work will directly impact how event organizers create experiences and how attendees discover and enjoy them. We're looking for someone who excels in both technical skills and leadership.

• Focus on performance optimization and system reliability, especially as our user base grows.
• Build with data and analytics in mind which provides actionable insights for business leaders and event organizers.
• Drive experimentation with MVPs, balancing rapid iteration with long-term sustainable growth and developer experience.
• Contribute to either frontend design systems, database design, or dev ops/infrastructure to ensure scalable, secure, and maintainable systems.
• Provide mentorship to engineers, fostering a culture of growth and collaboration.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience leading complex technical projects with significant business impact.
• Strong expertise in a specific area (e.g., frontend, backend, or infrastructure) while maintaining broad knowledge of the full stack.
• Proficiency in relevant technologies (e.g., React, React Native, Typescript, AWS or similar cloud providers), with experience in either mobile app development or backend systems.
• Experience with scalability, performance optimization, and building tools that support data-driven decision-making.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for creating products that connect people in the real world.
