Software Engineer II

The Challenge

Eventbrite is seeking full-stack software engineers to join us in our mission to bring the world together through live experiences. Last year alone, our platform processed over 150 million tickets across over 3 million events organized by our creators. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to build features, design APIs, and scale our product as we grow.

The Team

We're a people-focused engineering organization. The women and men on our team value:

• Working together in small teams to solve big problems
• Supporting an active culture of mentorship and inclusion
• Committing themselves to learn new things daily

Our core practices include:

• Pair programming
• Weekly demos
• Tech talks
• Quarterly hackathons

We believe in engaging with the community, regularly hosting free events with some of the top technical speakers, and actively contributing to open-source software. Our technology spans across web, mobile, API, big data, machine learning, search, physical point of sale, and scanning systems.

Our engineering teams own their services and systems end-to-end, from requirements gathering to deployment to maintenance. Team members follow an on-call rotation to ensure any issues are mitigated immediately and root causes are rectified.

The Role

We seek full-stack software engineers who are passionate about their craft to join our engineering team in Spain, although we’re remote friendly. We strive for teams that are completely autonomous and have full ownership of their services and roadmaps. Teams usually consist of front-end engineers, backend engineers, a product manager, a designer, a technical program manager, and an engineering manager. You will solve challenging technical problems and own your impactful products end-to-end. You will contribute to Eventbrite engineering’s culture of technical excellence through inclusivity and mentorship. This is more than an opportunity to join an amazing team; it is a chance to impact Eventbrite’s platform and organization at scale.

The Tech Stack

Eventbrite is one of the world’s largest Django-powered sites by request volume. Python, Django, and MySQL are the primary off-the-shelf technologies in our stack. We are hosted on AWS. PySOA, our services framework, builds on these core technologies. On the frontend, we make extensive use of React and Redux.

However, the company is transitioning to a completely new stack (such as Kotlin, DynamoDB, Lambdas, gRPC, Step Functions, etc.) where each team will have complete ownership and autonomy.

• You have experience managing infrastructure on a platform like AWS/GCP/Azure.
• You have 2+ years of experience using a SQL database: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, etc.
• You have knowledge of microservices and/or service-oriented architecture.
• You are an efficient, practical programmer, designed and producing dependable code.

• You have a holistic approach to quality.
• You are a results-driven self-starter with great communication and collaboration skills; we put a lot of emphasis on being team players.
• You enjoy teaching and mentoring colleagues.

Bonus Points
