Senior Android Engineer

SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we’re simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry.

SeatGeek’s mission is to help the world experience more live—concerts, sports, theater, and more—and our Android app is vital to making that vision a reality. As mobile has become ubiquitous, we expect to be able to use our phones to do just about everything. For SeatGeek users, that means searching, discovering, purchasing, transferring, selling, and scanning tickets. Not only do our users expect to be able to do those things, they expect them to be seamless experiences so they can focus on what matters: being there. Live events are a source of real human happiness and we’re doing what we can to make sure ticketing doesn’t get in the way.

We are looking for Android Engineers with varying levels of experience to join SeatGeek’s Product team. The Android engineering team at SeatGeek features active members of the New York and global Android communities, including engineers that have spoken at meetups and conferences. We care deeply about our product and user experience, so we look to collaborate with people that are motivated to deliver second-to-none Android UIs and work closely with our product and design teams to do so. We’re also committed to strong engineering practices and we’re constantly evaluating our tools and processes to make sure we’re staying on top of the game.

Our Android app has over a million downloads and over 300k active monthly users. We're building something that's purposefully, willfully for Android, through and through. We’re defining live events on Android and we're hoping you can help.
