Who we are

Songkick is the largest concert discovery service and artist-to-fan ticketing platform in the world. Our goal is to help artists sell more tickets directly to their fans and fix the central problem at the heart of the concert industry - that 50% of tickets go unsold. Working with over 500 artists and ticketing thousands of events worldwide each year, we’re working to make every show a sellout.

Songkick delivers personalized alerts for upcoming concerts to its 10 million monthly unique fans, making it easy for these fans to track their favorite artists so they never miss them live.

Our company has also powered worldwide programs for some of the world’s biggest artists, including Adele, Metallica, Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons, Kenny Chesney, and Ellie Goulding, creating the ultimate artist experience by linking fans through innovative ticketing technology and marketing solutions.

With offices strategically positioned in London, Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York, Songkick combines technology and expertise to make the concert experience better for artists and fans alike.

What we’re looking for 

You will join a Site Reliability Engineering team that uses cutting edge technology to provide an architectural platform that helps put the fans first.

Working within a team of DevOps Engineers, your focus will be on repeatable ways to manage operating systems and all applications that run on them.

We ask for the very best from our teams, so we’ll make sure that you get the training and experience that you want to have an enjoyable and fulfilling career at Songkick.

As a DevOps Engineer you’ll be knowledgeable and passionate about technology, will be good at “getting things done” and believe that the route to speed and stability is through automation.
