About Toutix

Toutix is building the fan-data intelligence layer for live events. Ticketmaster owns the fan relationship today. We are changing that with white-label ticketing, Fan Passport (a persistent fan identity layer), Fan CRM and Fan Oracle, our AI insight surface.

We are backed, growing, and hiring engineer #1.

The role

This is a systems role first. You will architect the core platform from scratch and own the decisions that everything else gets built on: reliability, concurrency, multi-tenancy, data isolation and disaster recovery. You choose the stack. You shape the engineering culture. You work directly with a hands-on CTO.

This is not a ticket-taker role with a task list. You will be handed hard problems, not specs.

  • On-sale traffic spikes: 50,000 people clicking buy at the same moment
  • Real-time inventory locking that never oversells and never deadlocks
  • Multi-tenant architecture with strict data isolation between clients
  • Idempotent payment flows that stay correct under retries and failures
  • A platform designed to scale from day one without being over-engineered on day one

What we are looking for

  • Exceptional systems thinking. You reason about architecture from first principles: consistency models, failure modes, back-pressure, what breaks at 100x load
  • Experience building high-concurrency transactional systems (payments, fintech, ticketing, marketplaces, or similar)
  • Roughly 5 to 8 years of dense, hands-on backend and infrastructure work
  • You have been an early engineer at a startup that scaled, or built something of your own
  • You ship independently. Given a problem and a deadline, you design the solution and deliver it
  • You use AI coding agents daily and treat them as a force multiplier, not a novelty

What we offer

  • Meaningful founding equity with a standard 4-year vest
  • Competitive base salary plus milestone bonuses tied to what actually gets built
  • Real architectural ownership: your decisions define the platform
  • A seat at the table as we scale the team and the company

Not the right fit if

  • You want to manage rather than build (this is 100% hands-on IC work)
  • You need a spec before you can start
  • You are remote-only (we build together in London)
