What You'll Do

Design and build backend systems, APIs, and integrations that power bookings, memberships, and personalization.

Collaborate with product and frontend teams to define clear API contracts and data models.

Deliver production-ready code that creates measurable customer value.

Improve observability and telemetry to help the team understand and optimize performance.

Evaluate and adopt new technologies that enhance development speed, quality, and maintainability.

Partner with peers to strengthen scalability, reliability, and developer experience.

Make thoughtful trade-offs between speed, scope, and quality.

In your first year, you will:

Own architecture for one or two major initiatives that ship to production.

Help evolve our backend to support new markets such as live performances.

Improve observability from “good enough” to “confidence-inspiring.”

Contribute to sustainable, repeatable engineering practices that help us ship with confidence.

What You Should Have

Significant backend engineering experience, typically 6–10 years.

Experience designing APIs and systems that handle meaningful scale, such as high throughput, complex data, or reliability requirements.

Proficiency in one or more backend languages such as Ruby, Go, Python, Java, or Node.js.

Experience with relational databases like PostgreSQL and a strong understanding of data modeling.

Strong collaboration and communication skills with the ability to turn product goals into reliable systems.

Strengthening observability and alerting across production systems.

Creating frameworks and design patterns that help the team ship faster and more safely.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

Build the systems that power real experiences people attend, share, and remember.

Solve complex problems at the intersection of real-time booking, data, and personalization.

Maintain a sustainable pace with high ownership. We ship regularly, but we don’t expect heroics.

Focus on what matters — you’ll typically own one or two major initiatives per quarter.

Monthly Tune-Up Days let you tackle the "If I only had a couple days" ideas that improve our systems, codebase, and workflows.

Real flexibility: hybrid means two in-office days per week; remote means async-first with clear collaboration hours (10am–2pm PT).

Work with peers who care deeply about quality, craft, and measurable results.

Competitive compensation, equity, and comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k).

An inclusive environment where different perspectives make us better.
