Data Engineer

Eventbrite powers ticketing and registration for more than two million live experiences each year, hosting the world’s largest online selection of events. We build technology that allows anyone to create, share, find and attend events of all kinds. Music festivals, marathons, conferences, hackathons, political rallies, fundraisers, gaming competitions— you name it, we power it.

The Data Engineering team works on the pipes that connect the various services and data stores that make up the Eventbrite websites and mobile applications. In addition, the team is responsible for Eventbrite’s analytic infrastructure, including ETL, the enterprise data warehouse, and reporting tools.
