Senior Backend Software Engineer

THE CHALLENGE

Experimentation and Innovation are critical to Eventbrite. As our platform continues to grow and develop, we are seeking a creative software engineer to use a variety of technologies in the development of new and existing product innovation.

THE TEAM

You’ll be joining an exceptionally talented and experienced team focusing on further demonstrating the feasibility and possibility of internal ideation through the development of rapid prototypes and minimum viable products. We're also a people-focused Engineering organization: the women and men on our team value working together in small teams to solve big problems, supporting an active culture of mentorship and inclusion, and pushing themselves to learn new things daily. This is a unique opportunity to influence both the future of the business and the industry in a huge way.

THE ROLE

As a software engineer you’ll work closely with product managers, designers and fellow engineers on solving challenging problems. You will own your products end-to-end and help take the company to the next level. You’ll join a safe environment to ask questions and constructively suggest whether there is a better way to do something.
You should not be risk averse or fear failure, but be able to leverage a combination of technical skills, personal conviction, and curiosity to constantly push in what ends up hopefully being the right direction.
