Our all-in-one suite of ticketing, mobile apps, experiential marketing, and patron management tools, combined with our expert marketing services, allows organizers to drive nonstop engagement and capture all customer data from their entire event. That’s why iconic brands like New York Comic Con, Bonnaroo, Illuminarium, and the NHL choose us to power their events.

We are a diverse and passionate team of event experts and fans who are dedicated to helping organizers transform their event experiences. Like our clients, we live and breathe events.

We’re seeking a UX Engineer who thrives at the intersection of design and engineering. This role will partner closely with both designers and developers to implement design iterations into our applications, build reusable components, and scale component systems into full design systems. You’ll directly contribute to our goal of delivering modernized, polished, and consistent experiences for our users. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker, skilled front-end developer, and exceptional collaborator who can move fluidly between teams, adapt to workflows, and elevate the user experience through thoughtful implementation. If you’re a collaborative, detail-oriented UX Engineer with a passion for design systems and accessibility, we’d love to hear from you.

• Experience collaborating with both design and engineering teams; able to adapt to different team processes.

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate design goals into engineering solutions and vice versa.
