Job Description

Who we are

Songkick is the largest concert discovery service and artist-to-fan ticketing platform in the world. Our goal is to help artists sell more tickets directly to their fans and fix the central problem at the heart of the concert industry – that 50% of tickets go unsold. Working with over 500 artists and ticketing thousands of events worldwide each year, we’re working to make every show a sellout.

Songkick delivers personalized alerts for upcoming concerts to its 10 million monthly unique fans, making it easy for these fans to track their favorite artists so they never miss them live.

Our company has also powered worldwide programs for some of the world’s biggest artists, including Adele, Metallica, Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons, Kenny Chesney, and Ellie Goulding, creating the ultimate artist experience by linking fans through innovative ticketing technology and marketing solutions.

With offices strategically positioned in London, Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York, Songkick combines technology and expertise to make the concert experience better for artists and fans alike.

What we’re looking for

Songkick's platform supports high-demand ticket sales for some of the largest artists in the world. We also have a user-facing set of web and mobile applications with millions of active users.

We're hiring an experienced engineer to help us deliver robust infrastructure to support these products. Our clients are demanding and we expect a lot of our technology too. This year we have ambitious plans for new products and extending our infrastructure to support them will be a major project.

You'll work within the Tech Ops team to provide a stable and scalable platform, and our DevOps-style development teams will rely on your expertise to advise them. The challenges will be varied and you'll be expected to work on data centre hosts as well as AWS.

We use continuous deployment and integration, and deploy to production many times a day. We have daily standups, work from a Kanban board, and have regular retrospectives. The working environment is collaborative and informal, and we need someone who can work well both delivering and explaining improvements.
