- Strong Python and SQL skills, as well as at least general competency with web languages (HTML/Javascript)
- Python data competency – knowledge of and experience with, eg, Pandas or other Dataframe libraries. Polars, PySpark, or DuckDB are a big plus

- Improve and ensure data reliability, quality and efficiency
Our take
TickPick is a live events ticket marketplace that differentiates itself by not including any extra fees, reducing the total price of a ticket for consumers. While the company has been around since 2011, it has come increasingly under the spotlight in the last few years as live event ticket prices escalate, often pricing average earners out of attending.
The company was initially founded as a ticket resale platform, however as its reputation has grown, so too has its partnership base, with it now selling tickets directly for the likes of Firefly Music Festival and Sports Illustrated Saturday Night Lights.
TickPick closed a major funding round in 2024, giving it the fuel to scale up. Adding to this momentum, it also snapped up Fanimal (another ticketing platform) and secured an exclusive partnership with LaLiga as their official ticketing platform across North America. With fresh capital, a growing footprint, and a major league in its corner, TickPick is setting the stage for a future of success.
