Eventbrite is seeking an Android Engineer to join us in our mission to bring the world together through live experiences. Last year alone, our platform processed over 150 million tickets across over 3 million events organized by our creators.

We're excited to share that our development environment is at the forefront of modern technologies. Our entire codebase has been successfully migrated to Kotlin, in addition, we're in the process of migrating legacy code to the Model-View-Intent (MVI) architecture, an advanced Unidirectional Data Flow pattern that enhances code maintainability and scalability. Our project structure follows the principles of Clean Architecture, with multiple modules that streamline code organization and promote separation of concerns. To ensure smooth asynchronous programming, we utilize Flows and Coroutines, enabling efficient and responsive handling of data streams and background tasks. Furthermore, we've embraced Jetpack Compose, a modern UI toolkit, to craft the UI components of our applications..
Also we are now adding some components to our application in React Native, giving us the ability to release faster and have more people contributing to our codebase.
