Job description

About Us: Shaping the Future of Live Events

We’re building a membership platform for the future of live events that prioritises and rewards loyal fans.

At the heart of every meaningful live event lies the desire to feel connected, valued, and part of a shared community. That’s why we built Planet, an end-to-end membership platform that allows artists, venues, and brands to truly understand their audiences.

But we don’t stop there. Through The Beat, our personalisation engine, we go beyond one-off, transactional moments and establish lasting connections with fans. By harnessing insights and learnings from over two years of research into fan engagement, we’re building a future where:

• Loyal fans feel truly seen and prioritised
• Engagement is as seamless and as simple as possible to action

Our vision is to enable impactful, personalised interactions with every fan, fostering deeper connections and more valuable communities. Together, Planet and The Beat help remove the time and resources traditionally required for fan engagement, making it effortless to take every campaign and live event to the next level.

What to expect next from us?

1. Initial Chat: A conversation with our Tech Lead to learn more about you and introduce our product, business, and culture.
2. Technical Discussion: A deeper conversation with the core team to see your ideas in action.

Requirements

Sounds great! What’s my part in this?

As a Full-Stack Engineer, you’ll play a key role in building the next generation of tools and features that power our platform. You’ll work across the stack using TypeScript, Next.js, Apollo GraphQL, and PostgreSQL, delivering functionality that supports fans, artists, and internal teams.

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
• Optimise backend performance and API reliability
• Help refine technical requirements and contribute to architectural decisions
• Contribute to CI/CD processes and deployment automation
• Support internal operations by monitoring infrastructure, resolving issues, and enhancing internal tools as needed
• Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing across the team

Required Skills & Experience:

• Solid experience building full-stack applications using TypeScript, Next.js, and Apollo GraphQL
• Comfortable designing and querying GraphQL APIs, both client and server-side
• Strong backend experience with PostgreSQL and relational data modelling
• Familiarity with AWS services, including ECS, Lambda, RDS, and S3
• Experience in CI/CD environments and agile development workflows
• Strong problem-solving skills and an eye for performance and maintainability
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Nice to Have:

• Experience working in a high-demand, live event or fast-moving environment.
