About this role
SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we’re simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry.
SeatGeek’s finance stack supports the reporting and operationalization of billions of dollars in transactions and settlements across diverse revenue streams and dozens of production systems. FinEng is the dedicated team focused on getting our arms around the finance and accounting data that SeatGeek generates across the business. This team is rethinking and rebuilding the systems that power our understanding of revenue recognition, marketplace settlements, and unit economics - all towards our mission of making SeatGeek the top destination for live event goers.
As the company grows and use cases with our finance data transform, our stack needs to adjust and scale to keep pace with new agentic demands and the increasing complexity of our financial operations. You'll be hands-on building the core systems that ingest settlement and transaction data from across the business, translate it into our general ledger and billing systems, and make handling complex deal structures look easy. If you are passionate about modernizing financial infrastructure, modeling complex revenue flows, and building platforms that provide teams and agents data they can trust, this is your opportunity to transform how we think about money at SeatGeek.
What you'll do
• Build and own core services that ingest PSP settlement and transactional data at scale, and translate it accurately into our general ledger and billing systems
• Design and deliver the infrastructure that turns bespoke monetization deal terms into configuration, replacing point solutions with durable, auditable systems
• Rapidly build and iterate tools to boost the quality and speed of interactions with our finance data, working AI-first by default
• Partner with product engineering teams across the business to shape how transactional and settlement data gets modeled and exposed at the source - pushing for the data contracts we need instead of reverse-engineering what's convenient upstream
• Communicate and collaborate with different stakeholders - Finance, Accounting, Data Scientists, Analysts, Data Platform Engineers, and Product - to institute best practices aimed at managing data quality
• Maintain a high standard of accuracy, completeness, and operational excellence across the platform, in a SOX controlled environment
• Create clear definitions and documentation of our data sources and systems, making ownership crystal clear
What you have
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record building and operating production backend systems
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, and the core engineering skills to learn new tools and frameworks quickly
• Experience handling and processing transactional or financial data at scale, ideally in a SOX controlled environment
• Experience designing serv
