Do you like parties? Me neither! Not to worry, though... as an Engineer on the PartySlate FUN-gineering Team you’ll be amongst the pool of employees that was socially distancing before it was cool.

We are a diverse, family-friendly, flexible, and fun company. We used to have team outings and on Fridays we would play board games like Pandemic and Catan, but since COVID-19 we’ve moved the games to Zoom and will never ever enjoy Pandemic again. That said, we’ve adapted and remain a fully remote workforce, headquartered in Chicago.

As a software platform for Event Professionals and Venues, we are roaring back along with our industry, and investing in engineering to continue to build innovative features into our product.

As a Senior Frontend Software Engineer at PartySlate you have the opportunity to craft engaging experiences and innovative solutions for a platform that connects well over a million people a year to many thousands of venues and event professionals across the country.

You’ll work closely with your team to craft technical designs that align with our goal of continuously delivering real value to our users. 

Why Work With Us

You’ll have the opportunity to influence our technical direction and support the adoption of new frameworks and conventions. Our industry and our company are growing this year and that growth translates into opportunities to expand your technical and leadership skills. If you want to work on a popular consumer product, grow your skills and knowledge, and collaborate with an elite team of engineers, designers, and product managers, PartySlate is the place for you.
