These teams are utilizing the most cutting-edge tools and technologies, including modern and responsive single page applications powered by React.

What You Will Be Doing

• Lead and mentor teams of dedicated engineers to build Internet scale applications where performance, reliability, and scalability, are critical design goals – not after-thoughts.

• Three.js/WebGL for our 3D visualizations
• Build browser assets with Webpack
• MySQL for database storage
• AWS for infrastructure, deploying services with ECS and Lambda
• Develop on local machines, not in the cloud

We are about empowering developers to apply what they do best to empower our users to plan and run great events. Developers who take initiative to find and solve problems thrive here.
