We’re looking for a self-motivated, team minded Senior Full-Stack Developer who wants to be part of the live-event space.

• A reasonable level of obsession in wanting to solve problems, with a call-a-friend mentality to seek clarity and focus.
• Experience with backend services and asynchronous job processing.

• Architect services and systems using accepted design patterns that allow for iterative, autonomous development and future scaling.
