About Showpass

At Showpass, we're reigniting the joy of live experiences.

We're Canada's fastest-growing event ticketing and live experience platform, powering everything from concerts and festivals to comedy shows, attractions, nightlife, and community events.

But we're not just a ticketing company.

We help event organizers grow their businesses, bring new creators into the live events space, and build technology that has to perform in real-world, high-pressure environments where failure is not an option. When thousands of people are trying to buy tickets, check in at the gate, or run an event on-site, the software needs to just work.

• CanadianSME Fastest Growing Company (2024)
• Deloitte Technology Fast 50 (#20, 2024)

The Role

We're looking for a Full Stack Developer who wants to build meaningful products, not just complete tickets.

This role is for someone who can take a problem from idea to production, make smart technical decisions, and cares deeply about whether the thing they built actually works for customers. You'll work across the stack, contributing to customer-facing product experiences, APIs, backend systems, data models, and the infrastructure that supports them. Our environment includes technologies such as React, TypeScript, and Next.js on the frontend, alongside Django-powered backend services and the broader platform infrastructure that supports our products at scale.

We're looking for someone with strong technical fundamentals, good judgement, and a bias for action. You should be comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions, and proposing better ways to solve problems.

This is a great role for either a strong intermediate developer ready to grow into senior-level impact, or a senior developer who wants ownership, speed, and product influence.

What You'll Do:

• Build and ship full-stack features from idea to production
• Build polished, reliable product experiences across the stack using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Django
• Design, build, and improve APIs and backend workflows
• Work with PostgreSQL and help evolve our data models
• Build tools that help event organizers manage, grow, and improve their events
• Improve the attendee experience from discovery to checkout to event entry
• Debug production issues and strengthen the reliability of our systems
• Work closely with product, design, support, and engineering leadership
• Use modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows, to improve speed and quality
• Challenge assumptions, identify better solutions, and take ownership of outcomes

What Makes Someone Successful Here:

• Care about the customer impact of what you're building
• Like owning problems, not just completing assigned tickets
• Can work through ambiguity and make thoughtful technical decisions
• Move quickly while still caring about quality
• Have strong fullstack product instincts
• Enjoys working with and supporting their team members in-office
• Are comfortable working across the stack
• Know when to ask for help and when to make a decision
• Use tools thoughtfully, but do not rely on them as a substitute for understanding
• Want to keep getting better as an engineer

What You Bring:

• 4+ years of software development experience
• experience building modern frontend applications using React, Vue, or a similar framework
• Backend development experience, ideally with Python/Django or similar frameworks
• Experience designing, consuming, and debugging APIs
• Experience with PostgreSQL or another relational database
• Strong problem-solving skills and sound engineering judgement
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment
• A self-starter mindset and a strong sense of ownership
• Interest in using modern tools and workflows to become more effective

Nice to Have:

• Strong React + TypeScript experience
• Experience with high-traffic, transactional, or event-driven systems
• Background jobs, queues, Celery, Redis, or similar tools
• Cloud experience, especially GCP
• Observability tools such as Sentry, Datadog, or similar
• Experience building or integrating AI-powered product features
• Experience in ticketing, payments, marketplaces, live events, or commerce
