Hey there!
We’re Fever, the world’s leading tech platform for culture and live entertainment, 

Our mission? To democratize access to culture and entertainment. With our proprietary cutting-edge technology and data-driven approach, we’re revolutionizing the way people engage with live entertainment.
Every month, our platform inspires over 300 million people in +40 countries (and counting) to discover unforgettable experiences while also empowering event creators with our data and technology, helping them scale, innovate, and enhance their events to reach new audiences. 

Our results? We’ve teamed up with major industry leaders like Netflix, F.C. Barcelona, and Primavera Sound, presented international award-winning experiences, and are backed by several leading global investors! Impressive, right? 

To achieve our mission, we are looking for bar-raisers with a hands-on mindset who are eager to help shape the future of entertainment!
Ready to be part of the experience? 

Now, let’s discuss this role and what you will do to help achieve Fever’s mission.

We’re looking for Software Backend Engineers to join our Data Department, developers with strong backend engineering skills and a passion for building the services and infrastructure that power critical systems for users and partners. You will work at the intersection of software engineering, AI and business automation, helping turn insights and models into reliable, scalable systems used across Fever.

What you'll do
  • Architect and Build: Design, implement, and maintain scalable microservices using Python (FastAPI/Django). You will take ownership of breaking down complex monoliths or building new services from the ground up, applying DDD principles.
  • Master the Event Stream: Build robust, event-driven flows with Kafka. You will ensure that our events are durable, ordered, and processed idempotently, managing eventual consistency with care.
  • Integrate at Scale: Design fault-tolerant integrations with third-party ecosystems (Meta Ads, Google Marketing Platform, Salesforce). You’ll navigate rate limits, retries, and circuit breakers to maintain platform stability, even when external APIs are unpredictable.
  • Bridge OLTP and OLAP: Work at the intersection of transactional applications and analytical data. You’ll optimize PostgreSQL for operational efficiency while designing ingestion pipelines for Snowflake and Elasticsearch, using Airflow and dbt.
  • Productionize Data Capabilities: Partner closely with Data Science, Machine Learning, and Data Engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of data sources and model infrastructure.
  • Elevate the Bar: Lead thorough code reviews, write RFCs for key technical decisions, and mentor mid-level engineers. You’ll champion testing strategies (unit, integration, contract testing) and advocate for clean, sustainable code architecture.
What we’re looking for
  • Python Proficiency: You’re confident working deeply in Python. You understand topics like the GIL, concurrency (asyncio), generators, and decorators, and you care about maintainable typing and thoughtful performance optimization.
  • Architecture Patterns: You enjoy designing systems that are easy to evolve and test. You’re comfortable applying Hexagonal Architecture to keep domain logic clean and decoupled, and you can leverage patterns like CQRS and the Transactional Outbox to support consistency and reliability in an event-driven environment.
  • Database Polyglot: You have strong SQL fundamentals and know how to design for performance (PostgreSQL internals, indexing strategies). You also understand when tools like Redis (caching) or Elasticsearch (search/aggregations) are the right fit.
  • Communication: You communicate clearly in English across audiences — from engineers to non-technical stakeholders — and you can explain your decisions in a structured way, backed by data and sound reasoning.
  • Pragmatic mindset: You balance quality with impact. You’re able to make thoughtful trade-offs, deliver iteratively, and keep an eye on long-term sustainability while moving at a good pace.
Bonus points for
  • AdTech/MarTech Experience: Familiarity with APIs from major marketing or CRM platforms (Meta, Google, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, etc.).
  • Infrastructure as Code: Experience defining infrastructure using Terraform or AWS CDK.
  • Data Engineering Crossover: Experience with data pipelines, Airflow, dbt, or data modeling in warehouse environments like Snowflake or BigQuery.
  • ML & Internal Products: Experience building data or ML-powered internal services or automation platforms.
  • Production Engineering: Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes). You are comfortable debugging production issues using monitoring tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana).
  • Open Source: A history of contributing to open-source projects or maintaining your own libraries.
The environment
  • We’re a fast-moving, impact-focused, and tech-driven team that partners closely with Data Science and Data Engineering.
  • We care deeply about clean, maintainable code and building solutions that last. We prefer sustainable improvements over quick fixes.
  • We foster a strong sense of ownership, with engineers taking ideas from design through delivery and supporting their services in production as they’re adopted across teams.
  • Collaboration is at the core of how we work: product, engineering, and data functions team up to turn ideas and models into reliable, user-facing capabilities.
Benefits & Perks
  • Responsibility from day one and professional and personal growth
  • Opportunity to have a real impact in a high-growth global category leader
  • A compensation package consisting of base salary and the potential to earn a significant bonus for top performance
  • Stock options plan
  • 40% discount on all Fever events and experiences
  • Home office friendly, location in Madrid or Barcelona required
  • Health insurance and other benefits such as Flexible remuneration with a 100% tax exemption through Cobee
  • English / Spanish Lessons 
  • Wellhub Membership
  • Possibility to receive in advance part of your salary by Payflow.
  • Compensation package consisting of base salary and the potential to earn a significant bonus for top performance: Base Salary: 50.000 - 70.000EUR 
  • Total Compensation: 70.000 - 90.000EUR (Including Base, Variable, and Stock Options)

What We Do

Fever is the leading global tech-enabled entertainment discovery platform with a clear mission: to inspire through live entertainment.

Our mobile-first marketplace allows both discovery/inspiration and seamless 2-click booking. Fever has also created a media network where our online communities can look for inspiration and local information (Secret Media Network owner of media outlets like Secret NYC, Secret London or Madrid Secreto among others). Fever and its Secret Media Network inspires over 60 million people every month to discover the best experiences in their cities.

The preferences expressed by these communities allow us to create new experiences, which we call “Fever Originals”. These are proprietary experiences in which we follow a data-driven content creation strategy, using analytics to understand audiences, develop and optimize new formats. Some successful examples include the “Candlelight Concert Series” attended by over 3 million guests, the Los Angeles based “Stranger Things: The Drive-Into Experience” co-produced with Netflix, or the “Mad Hatter G&T Party”, all launched in multiple cities across the world.

Fever is a US company with a team of over 800 people, currently present in more than 80 cities, with offices in many exciting cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, or Sydney, and is backed by leading institutional investors, including Rakuten Capital, Accel, and Atresmedia among others.

In order to pursue this objective we are looking for bar-raisers, people that want to work hard, have fun, and make history with us.
