SeatGeek is disrupting the $300 billion ticketing industry with a technology-first approach to live events. The company is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the R&D team and help build the next generation of ticketing infrastructure.
In this role, you'll work across a modern, containerized service-oriented architecture using industry-leading development practices. You'll ship code to production multiple times daily, solving complex performance problems in a high-traffic marketplace environment. Your responsibilities include building performant and beautiful user interfaces, architecting scalable backend systems, and leveraging cutting-edge AI tools to accelerate development while maintaining SeatGeek's technical standards.
You'll tackle unique ticketing challenges including high-traffic onsales events, interactive venue maps, inventory tracking, and event matching algorithms. The role requires strong software craftsmanship, a product mindset, and the ability to work across team boundaries to deliver industry-leading solutions.
The tech stack includes Python (FastAPI), Go, C#/.NET Core, React+TypeScript, Swift, and Kotlin on the application side, with AWS, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, and Datadog for infrastructure. Data systems leverage Aurora (Postgres), ElastiCache, OpenSearch, and DynamoDB, while streaming and workflows use Kafka, Flink, Airflow, and Temporal. However, prior experience with these specific tools is not required—the company values problem-solving ability and the capacity to learn new technologies.
You should have a track record of building business-critical software in fast-paced environments, solving complex technical challenges, and maintaining high standards for code quality and user experience. A commitment to mentoring teammates and learning from diverse perspectives is valued.
