THE CHALLENGE
Eventbrite has built its business on empowering event creators with solutions to enable their success. In the process, we have touched millions of consumers, helping them get together, explore their interests, and pursue their passions through live experiences. Now, we’re embarking on a journey to make Eventbrite the go-to destination for consumers looking to discover live events.
To help us deliver on this ambitious vision, we are on the hunt for a talented Software Engineer who gets excited to understand our users, is passionate about Search, Relevance, and tackling those problems through the ML/AI lens, and lives and breathes data to make decisions. Sounds like you? Let’s talk.
THE TEAM
The Eventbrite Discovery pillar is tackling the challenge of establishing an effective, consistent, and relevant discovery experience to our consumers. Our team is committed to building a discovery experience that will increasingly feel like it was made just for you.
