Software Engineer, Backend Developer

AdmitONE is not just a ticketing company, it’s an experience portal built by event and experience creators. This foundation, decades of industry knowledge and experience in promoting, venue management, ticketing, marketing, media relations and artist representation, allows AdmitONE to deliver customers positive, shareable experiences when discovering and purchasing tickets. Beyond the core functionality of selling tickets to events, our product roadmap includes everything from an integrated back-end dashboard to travel and DIY products, while ensuring we service 110% of the user and customer needs of today and tomorrow.

We’re hiring software engineers at multiple levels (Intermediate & Senior) to help shape and scale the systems behind AdmitONE, our multi-product ticketing platform.

You’ll focus on building robust backend systems while taking ownership of features end to end, including the frontend work that ships with them. You’ll have a direct impact on how our products (Pro, Community and Powered By) perform, scale, and evolve, working on technology that supports live experiences from ticket purchase through in-venue operations.

We work AI-first. We expect engineers here to be fluent with AI-assisted tools (like Cursor) and with prompt engineering as a real skill, and to hold AI-generated code to the same architectural, security, and performance bar as anything written by hand.

This posting is open to intermediate and seniors. We don’t ask you to pick a level when you apply.

Here’s how it works:

• You apply once, to this posting.
• Our interview process is designed to assess the scope of problems you can own, your technical depth, and how you operate with other engineers.
• After your interviews, we place you at the level of your performance and experience support, and we make an offer within that level’s published band.

We do this because titles are inconsistent across companies and years of experience is a weak proxy for capability. We’d rather see what you can do and level accordingly. If you’re unsure whether you’re in range, apply. (That’s the point of doing it this way!)

If you’re targeting a specific level, tell our recruitment team early and we’ll be direct with you about what we’re seeing as the process goes.

~3+ years professional experience

$85,000 to $105,000

~5+ years professional experience

$100,000 to $130,000

All levels are eligible for performance-based incentives. Experience guides are reference points, not gates. We level on demonstrated scope and autonomy, not tenure.

These apply at every level. What changes with level is the size and ambiguity of the problems you take on, and how much you shape the work of others.

• Build and ship end to end. Develop high-performance backend services and scalable APIs, and contribute to the frontend to deliver complete, production-ready features.
• Own the full lifecycle. Write the code, refine the AI-assisted prompts behind it, configure CI/CD pipelines, and execute safe rollouts.
• Engineer for quality. Write and maintain automated test suites (unit, API, E2E) and do exploratory testing to catch the edge cases that AI-generated implementations tend to hide.
• Manage infrastructure. Handle infrastructure-as-code changes, secrets management, and environment configuration so services are cloud-native and secure.
• Operate what you build. Monitor system health through structured logging and metrics, take part in on-call rotations, triage incidents, and ship lasting code-level fixes.

• Assist our Staff Engineer in setting the technical direction on features and services that span multiple…
