Senior Data Engineer, Finance

SeatGeek • Full-time • New York, NY, US • $140k - $200k / year • 1d ago

SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we’re simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry.

We are looking for a Data Engineer to join SeatGeek’s Finance Engineering team. FinEng is a dedicated team focused on getting our arms around the finance and accounting data that SeatGeek generates across the business. As a Data Engineer, you will own our Finance Data Warehouse and the tooling we use to get financial data from transactional systems into our finance automation stack, and ensure the results reach the hands of users, business applications, and other analytics tools. You will shape long-term projects aimed at marshaling data from across the organization, improving performance and utility, and ensuring data is represented in the clearest, most usable form possible. You’ll execute from start to finish, and ensure projects align with business objectives while cultivating a collaborative team environment. You will work with managers to improve existing processes aimed at keeping our technical bar high. Above all, your work will drive us toward our mission of making SeatGeek the top destination for live event goers by putting data at the heart of everything we do.

SeatGeek’s finance stack supports the reporting and operationalization of billions of dollars in transactions and settlements across diverse revenue streams and dozens of production systems. As the company grows, our current pipelines need significant upgrades to keep pace with the scale and complexity of our financial operations. Integrating new sources of truth, improving data accuracy, and building more reliable and auditable flows of money are essential to our next chapter. You'll work with tools like dbt, Python, PostgreSQL and cloud data warehouses—but just as importantly, you'll rethink and rebuild the systems that power our understanding of fan purchases, marketplace settlements, and unit economics. If you are passionate about modernizing financial infrastructure, modeling complex revenue flows, and giving teams data they can trust, this is your opportunity to transform how we think about money at SeatGeek.
