Senior Full Stack Engineer

What is Shotgun?

Shotgun is a ticketing platform dedicated to live music events. Our mission is to build the infrastructure that allows live music to thrive.

We provide powerful tools to sell tickets, build strong brands, and connect with fans in meaningful ways. From 2020 to 2024, Shotgun grew rapidly: GMV increased by 20x, revenue by 30x, and the company reached profitability.

Today, we support 20,000+ clients and engage 6 million+ users across Europe, the US, and LATAM.

Being an engineer at Shotgun

At Shotgun, engineers have a lot of ownership, as they both build features and make crucial product decisions.

We move and ship fast, by maintaining a constant balance between quality and efficiency. We also regularly take time to work on long-term challenges, even if it implies to rebuild a product from scratch.

Since the features we ship are used in real time on the field, we make sure stuff we ship works.

Our products

The mobile application is only the tip of the iceberg.

At Shotgun, we have the ambition to build the infrastructure of live music events, addressing the needs of event producers, party-lovers but also artists, at every moment of their journey.
