Opendate is the operating system for live music venues — booking, ticketing, marketing, and settlement, all in one place. We replace the tangle of spreadsheets, holds-and-confirms email chains, and ticketing platforms that independent venues, promoters, and festivals have been duct-taping together for decades. Customers range from 200-cap clubs to multi-day festivals.

We're a Rails shop with real backend problems: multi-tenant ticketing at on-sale scale, financial settlements that have to reconcile to the penny, and integrations with the rest of the music industry's plumbing (Stripe, Dwolla, Seats.io, Twilio, SendGrid). If you like systems where correctness actually matters and the users are people you can go meet at a show, you'll fit in.

Stack: Rails, React/Redux, PostgreSQL, Redis, BigQuery, AWS, GCP, Docker, Terraform. Flutter on mobile. AI-first engineering culture — Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot are part of the daily workflow, not banned from it.

100% remote within the US (no sponsorship), with optional Indianapolis or Chicago offices if you want them. Looking for 5+ years of senior full-stack experience, comfortable owning projects end-to-end and shipping to production weekly.

Tech stack includes: AWS, Ruby on Rails, React/Redux, Bootstrap, Postgresql

For Dropkiq, your app looks simple enough (for the Liquid part) that you could likely use our free version. For apps that have complex Liquid, we have our Pro version, which I'm currently offering beta pricing at around 1K per year.

Keep us in mind as you grow! :D

I'm guessing you guys use Liquid based on the curly braces? It looks like you have a pretty nice UI for manipulating the dynamic data, but if you're interested, my product helps people write Liquid: https://www.dropkiq.com/

Let me know if you're interested. Otherwise, best of luck with your product!

I'll keep your email handy if we're able to help down the road with non-liquid grammars.

Your product looks pretty awesome. It's super polished for your initial launch! Congrats!

I'm curious how long it took to build the product and how large your team is? Do you have some initial customers?

I'm building a similar paid Javascript Library business (https://www.dropkiq.com/). I would love to connect if you want to share some ideas? Feel free to shoot me an email if you're interested: adam@dropkiq.com
