About Us:

Live experiences help people cross today’s digital divide and focus on what truly connects us – the here, the new, this once-in-a-lifetime moment that’s bringing us together.

With platforms on iOS, Android, mobile web and desktop supporting more than 25,000 events across the US and Canada, we are reimagining the event ticket industry in order to move at the speed of life.

The Role:

We are looking for an organized, data-driven, and curious team player to work cross-functionally across the data, product, marketing, finance, and operations teams. As a Director of Machine Learning Engineering (MLE), you will lead the MLE function to deliver foundational technology to the future success of the company. We have a multitude of dynamic opportunities that sit at the core of our product strategy that are ripe for machine learning to enable us to optimize and excel.

This role will be expected to lead ML projects across all domains of the company, grow and retain talent, and be a champion for best practices. This role is for a player-coach.

  • A life long learner who is passionate about staying at the forefront of industry trends and developments to ensure Gametime is performing at the highest capability level possible

What you will work on:

  • Develop a Machine Learning organization and infrastructure that will support Gametime’s growth and success

  • Hire, mentor, and grow the ML team members and ML skill set across the company

  • Leverage your prior experience to develop new and innovative solutions that will reflect and incorporate rapidly changing industry trends
  • Embody Gametime’s core values and enact them in you day-to-day leadership

Experience you bring:

  • Bachelor's Degree in computer science, software engineering, or related field (Masters or Ph.D. preferred)
  • 6 + years of experience in developing production machine learning capabilities
  • Deep knowledge of software architecture and engineering best practices, especially modern cloud computing stacks for deploying machine learning and microservices at scale especially on Snowflake
  • Strong background in machine learning capabilities. For example, this could include product recommendation engines, ranking problems, or dynamic pricing systems, etc
  • Experience influencing platform development for providing foundational machine learning components for data scientists to deliver into production

At Gametime, we revel in life’s impromptu moments — like cheering on your hometown team at a Friday night baseball game or dancing the night away at an intimate concert. So, we built a ticket marketplace that makes it faster and easier to get into your favorite events at a moment’s notice.

How We Roll

Our team is made up of sports fans and music buffs dedicated to making the ticket buying experience better. We’re passionate about enabling incredible shared experiences, so we build technology that gets people out into the real world together. And with a bias for spontaneity, we’re focused on making the process simple and smooth while you’re on the move.

Mobile First: We’re built for mobile, so you can buy tickets and access events all from your phone. No printer needed.

Transparent Pricing: We're committed to clear, competitive pricing, showing you the full cost of your tickets up front, with All-In Pricing toggled on - no hidden fees!

Guaranteed Tickets: Our Gametime Guarantee ensures you’ll have your tickets in time for the event and that they’ll be valid for entry.

The ‘Aha!’ Moment

In 2012, Gametime founder Brad Griffith nearly missed a San Francisco Giants game after scrambling to print last-minute tickets in the basement of a local sports bar. Though he eventually made it in to see the Giants win the National League Championship, the experience stuck with him. Brad was convinced there should be a faster, easier way to get into the game. Not long after, Gametime was born.

Today, Gametime provides the premier marketplace for last-minute tickets to the most popular events in sports, music, and theater in more than 60 cities across the U.S. and Canada. We eliminated the need for printing — no more paper jams and bar basements! — and built a better way to access the best live experiences, right from your phone.

Why We’re Different

We aren’t the biggest, but we are committed to being the best. Our marketplace makes buying and selling event tickets a breeze, so you can skip the hassle and enjoy the moment.

The Gametime experience is designed to get you into your event seamlessly every time. We curate our listings to show only the best deals, instead of an impossibly long list of options. Use our panoramic seat view photos to choose your view before you buy; purchase in just two taps; then easily share tickets with friends via text. Playing it by ear? You can even grab tickets up to 90 minutes after start time with LastCall. Because planning is overrated.

Gametime Values

Above & Beyond: We don't settle. You'll find us going the extra mile for our users, our partners, and each other.

One Team, One Dream: We're in it together. We celebrate wins and learn from our failures as a team.

Always Be Curious: We challenge the status quo every day and expect that you will, too.
