About The Position

The Sr. Software Engineer is the engine room of our engineering org. You will lead projects from planning through execution, write the code on the hardest pieces, and raise the bar for the engineers around you. You'll also be a force multiplier for AI-assisted development on your team, modeling how to use Claude, Copilot, and agentic workflows to ship faster without compromising quality.

Requirements

• 5+ years building production software, with a track record of leading non-trivial projects to completion.
• Demonstrated ability to make sound architectural decisions and explain tradeoffs clearly in writing.
• Strong technical depth in at least one of: backend systems, API design, distributed services, web frontend, or mobile.
• Mentorship experience and a track record of helping teammates grow.
• Fluent, deliberate use of AI tooling across the full engineering lifecycle (design, code, test, debug, review, docs).

Nice To Haves

• Experience leading projects in marketplace, ticketing, e-commerce, or two-sided platform environments.
• Comfort with Datadog, Grafana, Kibana, Airbrake, Sentry, OpsGenie, or comparable production tooling.
• Built or contributed to internal LLM-powered tools, agent workflows, or RAG systems.

Responsibilities

• Lead delivery of more in-depth initiatives from planning through launch in partnership with product and technical leadership, where you own the technical execution.
• Take on the hard parts. When a project has a complex or critical piece, you're the one writing it.
• Shape architecture. Participate actively in design discussions, write design docs, and weigh tradeoffs out loud so the team can learn from your reasoning.
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers. Pair, code-review thoughtfully, and help teammates level up their skills, including their AI tooling fluency.
• Drive process improvements. Spot recurring pain in the team's workflow and propose changes, not just complaints.
• Push the AI-native bar. Build internal tooling, prompt patterns, and agentic workflows that make the whole team faster, not just yourself.
• Be a reliable code reviewer on PRs across the team, including outside your immediate project area.
• Operate cleanly on-call. Know your services in production; lead incident response when needed and write the postmortem.

Benefits

• You'll build the infrastructure live events run on; millions of tickets, hundreds of venues, many of the largest teams and events in the world.
• A lean team where decisions move fast and your code reaches real fans, often the same week.
• Every release has stakes. Every improvement is felt.
• High expectations, low tolerance for politics, and a culture built on writing well and shipping with care.
