Etix is looking for a Senior Software Developer who enjoys building polished, reliable products and solving real-world problems at scale. You’ll work across a high-volume transactional platform, contribute to new and existing services, and help shape the next generation of the Etix product ecosystem.
We value developers who show initiative, communicate clearly, and take pride in craftsmanship, not just the language they use. If you enjoy learning new technologies, experimenting with side projects, and shipping thoughtful solutions, you’ll thrive here.
You’ll report directly to the VP of Engineering and work alongside a strong, cross-functional team.
Work location & flexibility
We operate on a hybrid schedule where employees are generally expected to work from the office four days a week, with one flexible remote day per week.
Who We’re Looking For
Candidates should have a minimum of five years of professional software development experience. Beyond that, the languages you know matter less than what you’ve built and how you approach problems.
You’re not expected to have everything on this list; strong skills in some areas and a desire to learn the rest is more than enough.
