Opendate builds the ticketing platform powering independent music venues across North America.

We're looking for a senior engineer who is pushing the boundaries of AI-assisted software development.

Everyone says they use AI. We're looking for someone who has gone much further—someone who is constantly experimenting with new workflows, building agents, automating entire pieces of development, and rethinking what one engineer can accomplish.

Our engineering team believes AI is fundamentally changing what great engineering looks like. We want people who are helping define that future—not waiting for someone else to.

Our stack includes Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Sidekiq, and Stripe, but we're far more interested in how you build than the specific technologies you've used.

If you're excited by questions like:

How can AI own an entire feature from design to deployment? What engineering work still requires humans, and what should be automated? How do we move dramatically faster while maintaining an exceptionally high bar for quality? What does an engineering organization look like when every engineer has AI teammates?

...you'll probably enjoy working with us.

If this resonates, we'd love to hear from you.

We’re a small, fast-moving team used by a growing number of venues across the U.S. You’d be the first full-time DevOps hire, taking ownership of CI/CD, AWS infrastructure, observability, incident response, and helping shape how we scale our Rails + React platform.

Stack: AWS (Fargate, RDS, CloudFront), Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, Ruby on Rails, React

You: 5–10+ years experience in cloud infrastructure and automation, strong with Terraform and AWS, and excited about owning DevOps end-to-end at a startup with strong product-market fit.

We're building the operating system for independent music venues. Local music venues across the country (US) are struggling to survive. Our mission is to help them make more money so they can stay open (and thrive) in an environment where big players, such as Ticketmaster, dominate.

We have offices in Indianapolis (where our company is headquartered) and Chicago.

Tech stack includes: AWS, Ruby on Rails, React/Redux, Bootstrap, Postgresql

Your product looks pretty awesome. It's super polished for your initial launch! Congrats!

I'm curious how long it took to build the product and how large your team is? Do you have some initial customers?
