About CrowdVolt

CrowdVolt is a social platform built to exchange live events tickets. Our team is dedicated to providing consumers the best possible experience for buying and selling tickets to events. Our current focus is New York, with plans to expand to other markets soon.

About the role
Skills: Next.js, Python, React, PostgreSQL

CrowdVolt is reinventing the way tickets are bought and sold, starting with raves and electronic dance music concerts.

We graduated from Y Combinator last December and since have raised a $1.8M+ seed round. CrowdVolt has been growing rapidly and we are bringing on our first full-time engineer to support this growth. You will work directly with our CTO and existing engineers + designers.

What you’ll build

  • Design and implement responsive, high-performance front ends with attention to UX detail
  • Architect and develop sophisticated back-end systems to manage our complex operational workflows
  • Own and develop features across our entire product stack, from ideation through deployment
  • Drive product decisions through direct user feedback and data analysis
  • Create resilient web scraping infrastructure to gather up-to-date event data

Our ideal candidate

  • Intensely curious about software engineering - you should be EAGER to work across the entire stack and seek to understand how every component of the system works
  • Has experience building their own projects or owning large sections of a code base
  • Bias toward action and rapid iteration
  • Comfortable with Python, React, NextJS, and Postgres

Our values

  • Ship extraordinarily fast and often
  • Practice radical transparency and over communication
  • Drive runs in your DNA - you want to win more than anything else
  • No superiority complex: willingness to answer customer phone calls at 1AM on a Saturday night
  • Make data-driven decisions based on expected value
  • Ruthlessly prioritization of work, but still get everything done

What we offer

  • Unlimited PTO
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family.
  • Competitive salary with significant equity options.
  • Regular team socials and off-sites to connect, collaborate, and build team spirit (including EDM shows and raves!) 💃

To be transparent, this job is not a 40/hour week job. If you are looking to find a relaxed position, don’t bother applying. We are a scrappy start-up that is passionate about executing for our user base; we have a lot of fun, but also work incredibly hard. 

We are looking for someone with a strong sense of drive, an inquisitive mindset, willingness to learn and commitment to quality. If you are looking to have a real impact, become a better engineer, and ride a rocket ship we would encourage you to apply.
