Platform Engineer

Salary DKK 55,000 - DKK 55,000

We are in need of a full stack developer to help us evolve the entire SeatGeek platform. We're looking for smart, curious engineers who want to help millions of people experience the thrill of live entertainment. The ticketing industry is messy, complex and ultimately makes attending live events more difficult than it should be; we believe a thoughtful application of software can fix that.


We're looking for smart, curious engineers who want to help millions of people experience the thrill of live entertainment. The ticketing industry is messy, complex and ultimately makes attending live events more difficult than it should be; we believe a thoughtful application of software can fix that.

SeatGeek is a product-centric organization that deploys code into production multiple times per day. Our application is built in the microservice architectural style and we strive to use the best language for the task at hand. As we grow, the scale of our technical challenges - and their impact on our customers - continues to increase. We want to make sure we continue to build the best product we can.

We are in need of a full stack developer to help us evolve the entire SeatGeek platform. This includes various activities like:

  • Performance testing
  • Analyzing traffic data
  • Implementing performance recommendations
  • Making services more resilient to failure and traffic spikes
  • Design API boundaries for different services
  • Improve the deployment and testing tools across the different languages we use

What We're Looking For

  •  Experience building web applications, especially within a microservices architecture. We'll be most interested in hearing about what you've built
  • Experience solving complex technical challenges. SeatGeek engineers have had to create custom solutions to rather unique ticketing problems, including venue mapping, inventory tracking, and event matching. We'll be excited to hear about challenging problems you've faced and solved
  • Confidence with at least one language and comfort with several others
  • Great analytical skills. You will focus on improved the overall system architecture, diagnosing bottlenecks and implementing recommendations based on the analysed evidence.
  • Passion for software craftsmanship and product. You have well-considered opinions about how software should work, and hold yourself and your code to a high standard

The Tools We Use

You absolutely do not need experience with all of these, but we thought you might be curious. Tools can be learned, so we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language.

  • Languages: Python (our primary language), C#/.NET Core, Go and PHP
  • Datastores: Postgres, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch
  • Server: Nginx, Tornado and flask for Python, all running on AWS
  • Monitoring: InfluxDB/Grafana, Graylog, NewRelic, DataDog & PagerDuty
  • Version control: Git

Job Perks

  • A laid-back, fun workplace designed to facilitate collaboration and company wide events
  • A focus on transparency. We have regular team lunches and Q&A panels where employees can chat openly with teams across SeatGeek, our co-founders, and external guests from the industry
  • Hackathons: scheduled times when everyone drops what they’re doing and builds cool stuff in small groups
  • The opportunity to write code that is used outside of SeatGeek - we've open-sourced numerous projects and made them available on GitHub
