Opendate | Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer | Remote (US) | Full-time

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.

Opendate | Senior Full Stack Engineer (Ruby on Rails) | REMOTE (US only) | Full-time | https://www.opendate.io/careers/senior-full-stack-software-e...

Opendate is the operating system for live music venues — booking, ticketing, marketing, and settlement, all in one place. We replace the tangle of spreadsheets, holds-and-confirms email chains, and ticketing platforms that independent venues, promoters, and festivals have been duct-taping together for decades. Customers range from 200-cap clubs to multi-day festivals.

We're a Rails shop with real backend problems: multi-tenant ticketing at on-sale scale, financial settlements that have to reconcile to the penny, and integrations with the rest of the music industry's plumbing (Stripe, Dwolla, Seats.io, Twilio, SendGrid). If you like systems where correctness actually matters and the users are people you can go meet at a show, you'll fit in.

Stack: Rails, React/Redux, PostgreSQL, Redis, BigQuery, AWS, GCP, Docker, Terraform. Flutter on mobile. AI-first engineering culture — Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot are part of the daily workflow, not banned from it.

100% remote within the US (no sponsorship), with optional Indianapolis or Chicago offices if you want them. Looking for 5+ years of senior full-stack experience, comfortable owning projects end-to-end and shipping to production weekly.

I would be interested in this too. This would be a really cool gift for my newborn daughter.

Awesome! Yea, Liquid is a pretty robust language built by Shopify that is implemented in most languages to help with this exact problem. It might come in handy some day as you scale your app. :)

For Dropkiq, your app looks simple enough (for the Liquid part) that you could likely use our free version. For apps that have complex Liquid, we have our Pro version, which I'm currently offering beta pricing at around 1K per year.

Keep us in mind as you grow! :D

This looks really cool! I love your quick video that shows how to use the product and build a great looking UI so quickly.

I'm guessing you guys use Liquid based on the curly braces? It looks like you have a pretty nice UI for manipulating the dynamic data, but if you're interested, my product helps people write Liquid: https://www.dropkiq.com/

Let me know if you're interested. Otherwise, best of luck with your product!

Thanks, Ted! I appreciate the kind words.

I'll keep your email handy if we're able to help down the road with non-liquid grammars.

Hi Nick,

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?

I'm building a similar paid Javascript Library business (https://www.dropkiq.com/). I would love to connect if you want to share some ideas? Feel free to shoot me an email if you're interested: adam@dropkiq.com

When you say the "default" Shopify code editor, do you mean that one that is built into the Shopify website itself? I know a lot of people use 3rd party code editors also.
