Showpass•Medicine Hat, AB

2d•Onsite

About The Position

At Showpass, we’re reigniting the joy of live experiences. We’re Canada’s fastest-growing event ticketing and live experience platform, powering everything from concerts and festivals to comedy shows, attractions, nightlife, and community events. We help event organizers grow their businesses, bring new creators into the live events space, and build technology that has to perform in real-world, high-pressure environments where failure is not an option. When thousands of people are trying to buy tickets, check in at the gate, or run an event on-site, the software needs to just work. We’re proud to be recognized as: Canada’s Most Admired™ Corporate Cultures (2024 & 2025), CanadianSME Fastest Growing Company (2024), Deloitte Technology Fast 50 (#20, 2024). 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. Showpass is a fast-moving product and engineering environment. You’ll have room to make decisions, ship meaningful work, and see the impact of what you build. This role is a strong fit for someone who wants ownership and growth. It may not be the right fit if you prefer fully defined requirements, narrow implementation work, or staying in one layer of the stack. We’re looking for someone who can think beyond the ticket, understand the customer problem, and help us build better solutions.
