THE CHALLENGE
Eventbrite's business continues to grow and scale rapidly, powering millions of events. Event creators and attendees need to be empowered with new tools and technologies to assist them in having the most meaningful live experiences. Our technology spans across web, mobile, API, big data, machine learning, physical point of sale, and scanning systems.
At Eventbrite Software Engineer roles are leveled on a scale from P1 to P6. The leveling applied is based upon skill sets, experience and training. P1 and P2 Engineers have the title “Software Engineer”, P3 Engineers have the title “Senior Software Engineer”, P4 Engineers have the title “Staff Engineer” and P5/P6 Engineers have the title “Principle”.
THE TEAM
We’ve got a culture focused on passion, kindness, continual learning, and feedback. We value collaborating and working together in small teams to solve big problems. We strive for complete team autonomy with full ownership of roadmaps and outcomes. Teams usually consist of front-end engineers, backend engineers, a product manager, a designer, and an engineering manager. We support an active culture of mentorship and inclusion and commit ourselves to learning new things daily. Pair programming, weekly demos, tech talks, and 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. Team members follow an on-call rotation to ensure any issues are mitigated immediately and root causes are rectified.
