We are building a lean, high-output engineering team committed to providing the most innovative, transparent, and cost-effective ticket marketplace in the industry.

As a Software Engineer, you are early in your career but already know how to build. You learn quickly, take ownership, and want your work to matter. You are excited by the idea of contributing across the full stack - API, web, and mobile - instead of being boxed into one narrow lane.

You are comfortable using AI coding agents as part of how you build software. You've used them to help write code, explore problems, and learn faster - whether on personal projects, school work, or early jobs. You're starting to develop a sense for when they accelerate your work and when you need to think for yourself.

You are comfortable working ambiguously defined problem spaces, and you are a curious and creative problem solver who uses AI tooling to ramp faster, automate repetitive work, and contribute beyond what entry-level engineers were historically able to do.

• Contribute across the entire stack - .NET APIs, React/Next.js web, and React Native mobile
• Use AI coding agents daily to help with implementation, debugging, code review, and learning new parts of the codebase
• Pair with senior engineers and AI agents to solve problems that would traditionally require much more experience
• Help build and improve agentic workflows - testing loops, code review pipelines, and internal automation that reduce manual overhead
• Design and develop new APIs and product features
• Create integrations to third party providers (e.g. fintech, ticket brokers, primary marketplaces) in order to offer more services to our users
• Explore ways to make the user experience more personalized (event notifications, recommendations, pricing alerts, etc.)
• Identify tedious engineering tasks and help automate them so the team can focus on higher-impact work
• Use data to help drive decisions in our business logic

• Languages: C#/.NET, TypeScript/Node.js, React/React Native
• Datastores: Azure SQL, Azure Service Bus, Azure Storage, Azure Cosmos DB
• AI: Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents as part of daily workflow
• IDE: Visual Studio, VSCode, Cursor
• Infrastructure: Azure Cloud Platform (App Service, Functions, Service Bus)

• You've used AI agents for more than just autocomplete - you've experimented with using them to explore codebases, generate tests, or work through unfamiliar problems
• You learn unfamiliar codebases quickly and use AI tools to close gaps fast
• You don't wait to be spoon-fed tasks - you notice problems, ask good questions, and start solving them
• You're comfortable being early in your career but operating with a high degree of ownership
• You care more about building useful things than collecting credentials
