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 opened our Madrid office recently, merging with
Ticketea, a local company, and we are looking to grow our amazing
southeast engineering 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 senior 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.
