THE CHALLENGE
Last
year at Eventbrite organizers created 3 million events and we processed
150 million tickets. Behind all of those tickets and events is a number
of teams working together to keep our product scalable and available as
we grow. Our goal is to be the global platform for live experiences.
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, and committing
themselves to learn new things daily. Pair programming, weekly demos,
tech talks, and quarterly hackathons are at the core of how we’ve built
our team and product. 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.
THE ROLE
As
a member of the checkout team, you will share in the responsibility of
the checkout flow that an attendee goes through when purchasing tickets
on Eventbrite. You will own the user flow of handling purchasing
information, accounting, and interfacing with credit card providers and
various types of payment systems to process purchases, and influence the
future of the service that powers all of these transactions across the
company. You will partner closely with the Payments and Pricing teams to
handle an attendee's order, irrespective of the country the purchase
origination from or the payment currency. Ultimately, you are the
gatekeeper of a customer's ticket transaction with an organizer.
