About Us
Ticket Tailor is committed to empowering a diverse range of event creators through simple and affordable ticketing. But that’s not all – we’re also on a mission to make sure that every single ticket sold has a positive impact on all stakeholders – our team, our planet and the communities we operate in. We call this "Growth on Purpose" and are proud to be a certified B Corp, officially putting business for good at the center of everything we do.
Last year, over 10 million orders were placed through the Ticket Tailor platform, for all types of events from art installations to water parks. We have a world-class NPS score, and pride ourselves in building a simple platform built with a customer-first mindset.
We're a fully independent, profitable, and bootstrapped company meaning we don’t have to answer to anyone except ourselves and our customers, allowing us to scale the company sustainably and with soul.
About The Role:
We're looking for a Product Developer to join our growing technology team. You'll work on delivering great features to our users, while building and maintaining our ticketing platform. We're constantly evolving and growing our product, and you will work closely with our product team to deliver new features for our customer base. You'll be part of an established team of developers of all experience levels, meaning you're constantly learning and encouraged to share your own knowledge.
We place a strong emphasis on ownership - we each own the tasks we deliver - from understanding the problem, to designing small blocks of long term value, to the quality of the solution delivered. We test all new features and deploy multiple times a day.
As a small team, you'll also have lots of opportunities to provide input into the wider technology decision making process, while sharing successes with the company. We’re a hybrid-remote team, working from our Hackney office on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Our Stack:
🦿 PHP is our primary language, and we use Laminas and Mezzio frameworks
🐦⬛ Apache & Varnish for our Web Servers & Caching
📊 RDS MySQL for data management
☁️ CloudFormation on AWS for our instance management
🌥️ Cloudflare for CDN, queueing and workers
🌪️ jQuery for Javascript
🌊 Github and Github Actions for source control and CI
This role will suit you if…
🦎 You favour pragmatic, user-centric solutions over perfection or best practise
🔐 You value security, adopt a security mindset as you work, and ensure your squad follows secure practices
👾 You strive for simplicity in your solutions and like to incrementally deliver small-pieces of long term value
🪼 You work from first-principles and design-first over copy-and-paste programming
🦅 You continually seek to maximise your impact in the work you deliver and how you manage your time
🦋 You enjoy ownership of small but meaningful projects and consider multiple stakeholders in your work
🐌 You see value in many types of testing, and want to work with Trunk Based Development, continually releasing small pieces of long term value to the platform
🐯 You’re equally happy collaborating with others and working on your own to solve deep complex problems in code
🗣️ You enjoy constantly learning and have a growth mindset
👀 You use or are curious about using AI to enhance your productivity and quality
