THE CHALLENGE

Eventbrite is a people-first organization. Our goal of building the global platform for live experience relies on the foundation of top talent and strong company culture.

THE TEAM

We work on foundational aspects key to making our Development teams successful. We are responsible for the efficiency of the software development lifecycle for our applications.
