Live event commerce platform for ticketing, F&B, and merchandise sales
atVenu operates a point-of-sale platform purpose-built for live events—festivals, stadiums, concerts—handling over 125,000 events annually. The tech stack (React Native, Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, GraphQL) is weighted toward mobile and offline-first architecture, matching the operational constraint that venues need to process transactions without reliable connectivity. Current hiring skews heavily senior-engineer (6 of 9 roles), paired with active projects in security maturation (threat modeling, vulnerability management, PCI DSS compliance) and internal tooling (reporting, dashboards, data integrations)—a shift from pure product velocity toward operational scale and compliance.
atVenu is a live event commerce platform serving venues, promoters, and hospitality operators who need to sell tickets, food, beverages, and merchandise at festivals, stadiums, and sporting events. The product operates across online ordering, mobile POS, RFID-enabled transactions, and offline settlement—all designed to function in environments with intermittent or no internet. The company is 51–200 employees, headquartered in San Clemente, California, and has been profitable long enough to sustain a 12-year run. Revenue scale and customer concentration suggest a mix of direct venue sales and partnership channels with major event operators.
React Native and React for mobile/front-end; Ruby on Rails and Ruby for backend; PostgreSQL and Redis for persistence; AWS infrastructure (ECS, EKS); GraphQL for APIs; Docker, Terraform, and Jenkins for deployment.
