Software-ontwikkelaar in London

TodayTix Group (TTG) is the global e-commerce leader for cultural experiences, designing frictionless discovery and purchase journeys through innovative product design and industry-leading technology. Our portfolio of brands––including TodayTix , New York Theatre Guide , London Theatre , Show-Score , Arthouse Arthouse London, and Secret Cinema ––connects millions of customers with the best in live entertainment. We thrive in a nimble, growth-oriented environment where adaptability, curiosity, and a bias toward action help us stay ahead of the curve. We move quickly, iterate often, and expect everyone to take ownership of their impact - because we're building the future of live events, and there’s no script for what comes next. We believe feedback fuels growth, so we hold twice-yearly performance reviews focused on impact and development. We are seeking outstanding applicants of all backgrounds to join our team to bring new voices, talent, and perspectives to the table. We're hiring a Software Engineer who ships. The work spans API design, database performance, platform integrations, and GenAI — and we mean that last one seriously. AI is already changing how we build and how our platform works, and we expect engineers to treat it as a core tool, not a side experiment. You also care about the system you're building in — you leave code better than you found it and think about how today's decision affects next quarter's velocity. This is a full-time position. We encourage collaboration by working a minimum of 2 days per week in the office, with flexibility to choose where you work for the rest of the week. Code in production → You've shipped your first meaningful change within two weeks of starting, without being walked through the process. Platform fluency → You can trace a request end-to-end through the ticketing system and have a working mental model of where the risk and complexity lives. Codebase healthier → At least one meaningful improvement to the system — performance, test coverage, architecture — that you identified and drove yourself. AI in the workflow → AI tooling embedded as standard in how you write, review, and test code, with visible impact on your output speed and quality. Own features end-to-end: gather context from stakeholders, make design decisions, build, test, ship, and monitor. Improve the performance and reliability of a high-traffic ticketing platform — query optimization, transaction handling, observability. Keep the bar high on code quality — simple, readable, well-tested code that the next person can pick up without a walkthrough. Review code with the same care you write it — catch bugs, spot architectural issues, and raise the bar for what ships. Work with complex integrations: primary ticketing platforms, payment providers, fraud tools. Use AI in your daily workflow — code generation, testing, debugging, prototyping — and push for better ways to integrate it into the platform and the team's processes. You'd rather ship something good today than plan something perfect next quarter. You care about architecture, maintainability, and leaving the codebase healthier than you found it — not because someone told you to, but because shipping fast next month depends on decisions you make today. You understand database performance at a practical level — MySQL query design, transaction handling, ORM behaviour (Hibernate or similar), especially for bulk operations. You write in at least one of our core languages: Java, Python, or TypeScript. You already use AI tools to write, review, and ship code faster — and you have opinions about where they help and where they don't. You've integrated AI into real systems, not just tinkered with prompts. You communicate clearly in writing — design docs, PR descriptions, async updates. You care about observability — not as a buzzword, but as the thing that lets you sleep at night after a deploy. Experience with React and Next.js — we'd love help strengthening our design system and component library. Familiarity with AWS and Terraform. Experience with complex third-party integrations: ticketing platforms, PSPs, fraud tooling. Today that includes Node, Python, Java/Groovy, and React/Redux/Next.js on the application side, backed by AWS Aurora, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, and Datadog.
