    Job description

    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.


    Location:
    Calgary, AB (in-office 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:

    • Canada’s Most Admired™ Corporate Cultures (2024 & 2025)
    • CanadianSME Fastest Growing Company (2024)
    • Deloitte Technology Fast 50 (#20, 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.js on 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 modern tools and workflows to become more effective


    Nice to Have:

    • Strong React + TypeScript experience
    • 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


    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

    • Curiosity – we experiment, including with AI

    Perks:

    • Competitive compensation + performance bonus 
    • Employee Stock Option Plan (we don’t just act like owners, we are owners)
    • Comprehensive Benefits Plan + HSA/LSA 
    • Unlimited PTO
    • Daily breakfast & lunch from our in-house chef
