Build the tech behind live events A note from our President

*“We’re a small team that punches way above our weight. If you’ve ever been frustrated watching great ideas get stuck in bureaucracy, you’ll love it here because we ship! Most engineers spend their careers building things users tolerate.

We're building things they depend on- the kiosk someone walks up to at a conference of 5,000 people, the dashboard an organizer is staring at backstage, the badge that prints the moment someone checks in. When our software works, nobody notices. When it doesn't, the whole event feels it.

That pressure is what makes this job genuinely exciting. We're a small team, we move fast, and we're looking for someone who wants to own real problems- not tickets. Come build something people genuinely love using"

Who we are

PheedLoop powers live events around the world. From intimate campus summits to major trade shows, we give organizers the tools to run smarter, more connected events - check-in kiosks, badge printing, mobile apps, and engagement tools that work together as a single ecosystem.

We're not building software people use by obligation. Event organizers choose PheedLoop because it works when it matters most; and that bar pushes us to build better every day.

Why this role is different This isn't a role for someone who wants to execute someone else's vision. It's for someone who wants to help build it. You'll work side by side with PheedLoop's founders and leadership team not through a chain of managers, but directly. Your technical decisions will shape the product, the team, and the company's next chapter.





You talk to real customers.

No proxy PMs filtering feedback. You'll hear directly from organizers and ship things that fix real problems fast.

Your code goes live in days, not quarters.

We move at startup speed with the customer base to prove it.

You own the whole problem.

From database model to the pixel an organizer taps on the day of their event that's yours.

You'll help shape the team.

This is a role with genuine mentorship responsibility: influencing how we hire, what our standards look like, and how we grow.
