Company mission

To change the way party planners and party lovers interact.

Role

Who you are

  • πŸ• You have spent a meaningful time (5+ years) as a hands-on engineer
  • πŸ’ƒ You are passionate about entertainment: it doesn't matter which industry, but entertaining people makes you happy: music, gaming, events..
  • 🦾 You are fluent with our stack (React / React Native, Node.js, GraphQL)
  • πŸ€– You love building products
  • πŸ“ˆ You have already built products that have reached a large audience
  • πŸ‘€ You are curious, with an active technological watch
  • πŸŽ– You have a sense of ownership and responsibility

What the job involves

  • You will build new tools to enable Organizers to grow their community
  • You will conduct experimentations to impact Shotgun growth
  • You will always try to figure out how to make Users happier and Organizers more successful
  • And some other ideas we'd like to experiment sooner or later:
  • Sales predictions
  • Cashless payment during the events (+ hardware?)
  • CMS features to let Organizers express their personality

Our take

If you're organising an event, there's no shortage of ticket companies offering to manage booking and boost sales. However, the industry overall is somewhat outdated, with complicated interfaces putting off both organisers and customers. Founded in 2014, Shotgun is an attempt to redress this with intuitive software and a ticketing marketplace that meets the changing needs of modern event organisers and their fans.

Competing against larger players such as Dice and Resident Advisor, Shotgun stands out with its laser focus on the 18-25 year old event-going market. Catering to a crowd used to on-demand music services with expectations of lower costs and more exciting shows (research shows younger event-goers are far more likely to leave early if they're unhappy), Shotgun has invested heavily in social features and its mobile app experience to keep fans engaged.

So far, it has experienced success - it quickly gained several hundred organisers in about 30 cities for its platform and it is continuing to grow, with over 100,000 regular users of its app. As other ticketing services struggle to capture the younger party crowd, Shotgun has an early lead in this space that it should be able to continue to build on.
