Role

Who you are

Your curiosity is really important, as is your drive for innovation
Productivity and teamwork are key values for us so your contributions will have a huge impact
You have been a software engineer for a couple of years (3+) and have a good working knowledge of PHP (possibly with the Symfony framework) and MySQL
You are based in The Netherlands, are an EU resident, or have an existing visa to work here. A relocation package is not provided
You use git every day, write meaningful commit messages, and test the code you check in
Even though you've been around the block, you also know that the field of software engineering is a fast moving target and there is no way you can know everything, so every day is an opportunity to learn and embrace change
You enjoy bringing value to end users, and acknowledge that small steps every day are the way to get there
If you have experience with Javascript/React, native mobile languages, or "ops tools" - that's a big bonus

What the job involves

You will be working with cutting edge technology within a company where we always strive to work within the latest version
Our stack: PHP & Symfony, Event driven architecture & RabbitMQ, GraphQL, MySQL & Redis, AWS & Kubernetes, Code Quality, Domain Driven Design, Elasticsearch
The product team has a lot of freedom and space for personal creativity
Your newly shipped feature will be used by thousands of our users immediately
As the event ticketing industry is evolving, we're broadening the support of more ticket file types
Automized SecureSwap configuration for Secure Swap partners, to make it easier for them to connect with us and make events 100% safe
Without events, our fans cannot sell or buy tickets, so we're improving event creation significantly

Our take

Obtaining tickets for in-demand events can be extremely difficult, as can selling on unusable tickets. TicketSwap solves this problem by providing a platform where users can buy and sell pre-sold tickets, without the usually associated risk and high prices.

With fraud detection built in, TicketSwap’s platform allows for greater security against bad sellers. It also maintains a fixed price cap of 120% of the original price to protect against exploitative profiteering. These features, alongside the ease of use of the marketplace, have proved wildly popular, and the platform now serves millions of users around the world.

The company has expanded rather a lot since its inception, sweeping across European markets as well as entering Latin America and the UK. It has cemented a series of lucrative deals with festivals, venues, and promoters, which is testament to the company’s growing ubiquity, and continues to roll out new features such as in-app ticket storage and "FairShare", that divides any profit on a sold ticket fairly between the seller of the ticket and the event organizer.
