Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

Be the foundational systems engineer for a new platform serving high-volume transactional workloads. You will design the architecture from scratch, tackle concurrency and multi-tenancy, ensure strict data isolation, build resilient payment and inventory flows, and establish reliability and disaster-recovery practices while working closely with technical leadership.

Highlights

Own the architecture of a new core platform from the ground up and make key technical decisions. The role offers substantial autonomy, direct collaboration with technical leadership, and ownership of complex reliability and scalability problems.

Description

About ToutixToutix is building the fan-data intelligence layer for live events. Ticketmaster owns the fan relationship today. We are changing that with white-label ticketing, Fan Passport (a persistent fan identity layer), Fan CRM and Fan Oracle, our AI insight surface. We are backed, growing, and hiring engineer #1. The roleThis is a systems role first. You will architect the core platform from scratch and own the decisions that everything else gets built on: reliability, concurrency, multi-tenancy, data isolation and disaster recovery. You choose the stack. You shape the engineering culture. You work directly with a hands-on CTO. This is not a ticket-taker role with a task list. You will be handed hard problems, not specs.
