Staff Software Engineer

Salary DKK 50,000 - DKK 110,000
Equity To be negotiated

The ticketing industry is messy, complex, and makes attending live events more difficult than it is; we believe a thoughtful application of software can fix that. We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who wants to help millions of people experience the thrill of live entertainment. SeatGeek is a product-centric organization that deploys code into production multiple times per day.


Our application is built in the microservice architectural style and we aim to use the best language for the task at hand. As we grow, the scale of our technical challenges - and their effect on our customers - continue to increase. We want to ensure we continue to build the best product we can.


What you have

  • 8+ years of experience building web applications, especially within a microservices architecture. We'll be most interested in hearing about what you've built

  • Experience solving complex technical challenges. SeatGeek engineers have had to create custom solutions to rather unique ticketing problems, including venue mapping, inventory tracking, and event matching. We'll be excited to hear about challenging problems you've solved

  • Experience with at least one language and comfort with several others

  • Passion for software craftsmanship and product. You have well-considered opinions about how software should work, and hold yourself and your code to a high standard

  • Commitment to your teammates. You enjoy working with a diverse group of people with different experiences and take pride in mentoring and contributing to the growth and success of other members of the team

The Tools We Use

You absolutely do not need experience with all of these, but we thought you might be curious. Tools can be learned, so we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language.

  • Languages: Python (our primary language), C#/.NET Core and Go

  • Datastores: MySQL, Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch

  • Server: Nginx, Tornado, and flask for Python, all running on AWS

  • Monitoring:  DataDog & PagerDuty

  • Clientside: we make heavy use of React/Redux on the frontend

NO RECRUITERS
