Full Stack Developer

Our business spans Venue Partnerships, Consultancy, and Pink Dot (our promotions arm). We act as a head office function for partner venues, ensuring they are well programmed, commercially successful, well marketed, and operationally robust.

Across venues, festivals, and green-field events, our focus is always the same: safe, professionally delivered, and memorable experiences for artists, promoters, partners, and music fans.

We're building a B2B SaaS platform designed specifically for the live music industry. As a pre-seed startup, we're at an exciting stage where every decision matters and every team member has a significant impact on our direction and success.

We've successfully completed Phase 1 of development with a contracting team and have a working product. Now we're ready to bring technical expertise in-house to maintain, enhance, and scale the platform as we grow. This is your opportunity to join at a pivotal moment in our journey.
