(Senior) Backend Engineer - Checkout & Payments (d/f/m)

Join the Ticketing Revolution!

vivenu is a game-changing software company revolutionizing event ticketing worldwide. Some of the world's most prestigious organizations, such as the Grammys, Schalke 04, Hockenheimring and many others, want to turn ticketing from a simple transaction into their most strategic business asset: seamlessly connecting with their audience.

As concert-goers, fans, supporters, patrons and visitors of events, we all know how inefficient, fragmented, and friction-filled the ticket-buying experience is. And it’s not due to a lack of desire or effort. Existing ticketing providers are stifling event organizers' aspirations to deliver the truly transformative experiences their customers expect.

Here comes vivenu: we offer an innovative, technology-first approach to address the industry’s most significant challenges. Combining interactive digital experiences beloved by users and fans, a comprehensive and customizable feature suite, full data ownership, interoperability, analytics, mission critical engineering, and the best customer experience team in the industry, we enable event organizers to:

- own their brand presence and customize the fans’ experiences

- dive deep into data analytics to optimize strategically relevant KPIs and metrics

- integrate ticketing into an elevated digital infrastructure with vivenu's powerful API capabilities

- simplify complex ticketing operations with an intuitive, easy-to-use platform
