About Opendate
Opendate is on a mission to level the playing field for independent music venues and promoters—keeping the music alive and thriving. Our journey began when three visionary entrepreneurs, frustrated by the lack of a centralized operating system for running a music venue, set out to build the platform they wished existed. With breakthrough technology products already under their belt, they expanded a single venue into a growing network powered by smart, integrated solutions—from offers and ticketing to settlements. Today, we share that vision by empowering independent venues and promoters everywhere.
Innovation is in our DNA. We flourish in a remote-first culture that values limitless growth and the unique contributions of every team member. Our dynamic, purpose-driven team is dedicated to transforming live entertainment, one venue and one event at a time.
Role Overview
As our first dedicated Senior DevOps Engineer, you’ll take ownership of the infrastructure that powers our core platform. You’ll ensure we’re ready for high-traffic events, proactively monitor and improve performance, and work closely with application engineers to streamline deployment and operations.
This is a high-impact role with room to grow. You’ll help define how infrastructure is built and maintained at Opendate — and as the company grows, you'll have the opportunity to step into a leadership role and help build out a world-class DevOps/SRE team.
You’ll thrive here if you're excited to wear multiple hats, operate autonomously, and lay the technical foundation for a company that's scaling quickly.
