The Role: Full Stack Developer – Product Engineering
Level: Intermediate to Senior, based on experience. We are currently looking to fill multiple positions within this role.
About Showpass
At Showpass, we’re reigniting the joy of live experiences.
We’re Canada’s fastest-growing event ticketing and live experience platform, powering everything from concerts and festivals to comedy shows, attractions, nightlife, and community events.
But we’re not just a ticketing company.
We help event organizers grow their businesses, bring new creators into the live events space, and build technology that has to perform in real-world, high-pressure environments where failure is not an option. When thousands of people are trying to buy tickets, check in at the gate, or run an event on-site, the software needs to just work.
We’re proud to be recognized as:
CanadianSME Fastest Growing Company (2024)
The Role
We’re looking for a Full Stack Developer who wants to build meaningful products, not just complete tickets.
This role is for someone who can take a problem from idea to production, make smart technical decisions, and cares deeply about whether the thing they built actually works for customers. You’ll work across the stack, contributing to customer-facing product experiences, APIs, backend systems, data models, and the infrastructure that supports them. Our environment includes technologies such as React, TypeScript, and Next.json the frontend, alongside Django-powered backend services and the broader platform infrastructure that supports our products at scale.
We’re looking for someone with strong technical fundamentals, good judgement, and a bias for action. You should be comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions, and proposing better ways to solve problems.
This is a great role for either a strong intermediate developer ready to grow into senior-level impact, or a senior developer who wants ownership, speed, and product influence.
What You’ll Do:
Build and ship full-stack features from idea to production
Build polished,
reliable product experiences across the stack using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Django
Design, build, and improve APIs and backend workflows
Work with PostgreSQL and help evolve our data models
Build tools that help event organizers manage, grow, and improve their events
Improve the attendee experience from discovery to checkout to event entry
Debug production issues and strengthen the reliability of our systems
Work closely with product, design, support, and engineering leadership
Use modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows, to improve speed and quality
Challenge assumptions, identify better solutions, and take ownership of outcomes
What Makes Someone Successful Here:
Care about the customer impact of what you’re building
Like owning problems, not just completing assigned tickets
Can work through ambiguity and make thoughtful technical decisions
Move quickly while still caring about quality
Have strong fullstack product instincts
Enjoys working with and supporting their team members in-office
Are comfortable working across the stack
Know when to ask for help and when to make a decision
Use tools thoughtfully, but do not rely on them as a substitute for understanding
Want to keep getting better as an engineer
What You Bring:
4+ years of software development experience
experience building modern frontend applications using React, Vue, or a similar framework
Backend development experience, ideally with Python/Django or similar frameworks
Experience designing, consuming, and debugging APIs
Experience with PostgreSQL or another relational database
Strong problem-solving skills and sound engineering judgement
Comfort working in a fast-moving environment
A self-starter mindset and a strong sense of ownership
Interest in using up-to-date tools and workflows to become more effective
Nice to Have:
Experience with high-traffic, transactional, or event-driven systems
Background jobs, queues, Celery, Redis, or similar tools
Cloud experience, especially GCP
Observability tools such as Sentry, Datadog, or similar
Experience building or integrating AI-powered product features
Experience in ticketing, payments, marketplaces, live events, or commerce
What This Role Is Like
Showpass is a rapid-moving product and engineering environment. You’ll have room to make decisions, ship meaningful work, and see the impact of what you build. This role is a strong fit for someone who wants ownership and growth. It may not be the right fit if you prefer fully defined requirements, narrow implementation work, or staying in one layer of the stack. We’re looking for someone who can think beyond the ticket, understand the customer problem, and help us build better solutions.
Why Join Showpass
Our work is grounded in our core values (GUAC). Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Grow relentlessly – we move fast, learn, and improve
Understand the value of time – we prioritize speed and momentum
Act like an owner – you build it and see it show up at real events
Curiosity – we experiment, including with AI
Plus:
Competitive compensation + performance bonus

Unlimited PTO
Daily breakfast & lunch from our in-house chef
Learning & Development allowance + Curiosity Talks
Team bonding events
Dog-friendly office
