Senior Android Engineer

The Challenge

Eventbrite is a people-first organization. Our goal of building a global platform for live experience relies on the foundation of top talent and strong company culture. We are seeking a Senior Android Engineer to join our mission to bring the world together through live experiences. Last year, our platform processed over 150 million tickets across over 3 million events organized by our creators. The ideal candidate will leverage their years of experience with native app technologies to connect our millions of app users with their next event.

The Role

Join our engineering team and help make Eventbrite an indispensable platform for finding the best events anywhere in the world. You'll work directly with product management, product design, and other engineers to get a deep understanding of how our users explore our inventory and you will build the systems to most effectively satisfy our users’ needs.

We're excited to share that our development environment is at the forefront of modern technologies. Our entire codebase has been successfully migrated to Kotlin, and we're in the process of migrating legacy code to the Model-View-Intent (MVI) architecture, an advanced Unidirectional Data Flow pattern that enhances code maintainability and scalability. Our project structure follows the principles of Clean Architecture, with multiple modules that streamline code organization and promote separation of concerns. To ensure smooth asynchronous programming, we utilize Flows and Coroutines, enabling efficient and responsive handling of data streams and background tasks. Furthermore, we've embraced Jetpack Compose, a modern UI toolkit, to craft the UI components of our applications.

Additionally, we are now adding some components to our application in React Native, giving us the ability to release faster and have more people contributing to our codebase.

The Team

The Ads Experience team is working on a new advertisement product inside EB named Eventbrite Ads. The main focus of our team is to enable creators to promote their events across Eventbrite's owned destinations, and deliver a delightful consumer experience by being able to deliver their promoted events in a frictionless mode. We are a multi-disciplinary team; having all the needed skills to support our product which includes backend; website and Apps. The members of our team tackle big problems through small group collaboration.

Specifically for mobile we have 4 apps (Organizer and Attendee apps for both worlds, iOS and Android).

As a people-focused organization, we support a culture of inclusion, mentorship, and continuous learning. Pair programming, tech talks, and hackathons are at the core of how we build our team and product. We engage with the community by hosting events with exciting technical speakers and releasing key building blocks of our stack as open-source software. Our engineering teams own their services and systems end to end from requirements gathering to deployment to maintenance. Team members follow an on-call rotation to ensure any issues are mitigated immediately and root causes are rectified.

The Tech Stack

Our primary stack for our front-end code is written in React. We use libraries such as React Testing Library, Cypress or Storybook.

Most of our back-end code is Python and Django, all running on Amazon AWS with a MySQL database. We are currently building our own new services in Kotlin.
