As an Intermediate Software Developer at Universe, you will apply your passion for technology and live entertainment as we work together to build a world-class, highly scalable Event Ticketing platform.

You’ll work with many tools and languages including TypeScript, JavaScript, and Ruby using tools and frameworks like NextJS, Node, Kafka, Postgres, gRPC, Mongo, Grafana, GraphQL, and Rails on container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.

We deploy continuously, and release often to ensure we are building a reliable technology platform that provides customers a fast and efficient experience.
