Who are We? Grip is the AI-powered, end-to-end event platform built for engagement. The flexible system helps commercial event organizers like Ascential, Hyve, Emerald and Clarion Events boost revenue by establishing, maintaining and tracking relationships between participants over multiple events. This is possible because Grip goes beyond networking. It combines AI with billions of interactions happening across the platform with a powerful event management system, seamless registration and award-winning mobile event app so participants meet the right people at the right time.

We’re hiring into our Grip Manage team where our engineers are building a best‑class event registration platform, dealing with complex configurations & integrations, handling payments, feeding our data pipelines and insights, and working on exciting on‑site technologies like smart badges and location telemetry.

We embrace building with AI to help us deliver faster, and better, and we’re looking for someone who is excited by this new era of software development and the opportunities it brings.

Our core stack includes Typescript (Node.js, React), MongoDB & Postgres. We use AWS for our cloud services and our infrastructure is managed with K8s and Terraform. We test with Jest and Cypress, and monitor our systems with Prometheus, Grafana and Sentry.
