London, United Kingdom Ticket Tailor Full time

We’re striving to build a diverse team and welcome applicants from all backgrounds to apply. We believe that unique differences are what makes a strong team and are actively committed to building an inclusive work environment. So, if you're passionate and ready to contribute, we'd love to hear from you

We are looking for a Tech Lead to bring quality, pragmatism, and empathy to guiding a product team focused on maintaining our ticketing platform and delivering powerful features to our users. This role involves managing three direct reports - helping them grow and succeed.

Ticket Tailor supports over 30k event organisers around the world; this means it is critical we drive for simplicity, ease of use and consistency across all our products. With a small engineering team and a purposeful roadmap, this is a great opportunity to be a key part of a rapidly growing company and platform.

About Us

At Ticket Tailor, our mission is to empower a diverse range of event creators by making it easy and affordable to sell tickets online. We believe in doing business for the good of society and the environment, by growing better not just bigger.

Last year, over 10 million orders were placed through the Ticket Tailor platform, for all types of events from art installations to water parks. We have a world-class NPS score, and pride ourselves in building a simple platform built with a customer-first mindset.

We love to work with inclusive and supportive people who share our belief that a happy workplace = happy customers.

We're a fully independent, profitable, and bootstrapped company meaning we don’t have to answer to anyone except ourselves and our customers, allowing us to scale the company sustainably and with soul. This allows us to grow on purpose - with purpose - so that every event ticket sold with Ticket Tailor can have a positive impact.

We're carbon neutral (having offset our entire history of emissions), donate to climate causes for every ticket sold, and most recently became a certified B Corp, joining a global community of businesses putting people and the planet first.

Diversity & Inclusion

At Ticket Tailor, we’re building a small but mighty team to help us deliver big differences to people, the planet & society. We’re passionate about creating a diverse and inclusive environment where people can thrive, be inspired, and feel comfortable to be themselves.

As a Certified B-Corp, we lead from the front, and with purpose, to disrupt the events & ticketing industry while ensuring we accommodate and celebrate people of all backgrounds along the way.

We believe that diverse teams enable us to have different perspectives and points of view, which in return allows us to question the norm, support our customers, and adapt our decision-making.

**About The Role**:
As a Tech lead your role is split between ensuring quality within your squad, hands-on development and planning, and managing direct reports. You’ll work closely with Product to understand and solve problems for our users. You’ll seek to deliver simple, secure solutions across all parts of our technology stack, considering the long-term architectural impact of your solutions. You’ll ensure the why of what we are building is important and shared with the team. You’ll support and grow engineers on your team.

We place a strong emphasis on ownership - we each own the tasks we deliver - from understanding the problem, to designing small blocks of long term value, to the quality of the solution delivered. We test all new features and deploy multiple times a day.
