Opendate | Remote (U.S. only) | Full-time | Senior DevOps Engineer | $125k–$150k + equity
Opendate is building modern ticketing software for independent music venues. Think Shopify for venues — tools that help operators sell more tickets, streamline workflows, and provide a better experience for fans.
We’re a small, fast-moving team used by a growing number of venues across the U.S. You’d be the first full-time DevOps hire, taking ownership of CI/CD, AWS infrastructure, observability, incident response, and helping shape how we scale our Rails + React platform.
You: 5–10+ years experience in cloud infrastructure and automation, strong with Terraform and AWS, and excited about owning DevOps end-to-end at a startup with strong product-market fit.
We're building the operating system for independent music venues. Local music venues across the country (US) are struggling to survive. Our mission is to help them make more money so they can stay open (and thrive) in an environment where big players, such as Ticketmaster, dominate.
We have offices in Indianapolis (where our company is headquartered) and Chicago.
Tech stack includes: AWS, Ruby on Rails, React/Redux, Bootstrap, Postgresql
This looks really cool! I love your quick video that shows how to use the product and build a great looking UI so quickly.
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 implemented the parsing part! This is the first I've heard of Liquid though. When SheetUI has gained sufficient traction that people need advanced Liquid support, I'll look to your product for that :) There is no price quoted on your page though; do you mind telling us here a ballpark figure?
Awesome! Yea, Liquid is a pretty robust language built by Shopify that is implemented in most languages to help with this exact problem. It might come in handy some day as you scale your app. :)
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.
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
Thanks for your feedback and your questions Adam! PDF.js Express has been in development since early 2019. We have a number of customers signed up and using it in production, and so far the feedback has been really positive. Your website looks great.
When you say the "default" Shopify code editor, do you mean that one that is built into the Shopify website itself? I know a lot of people use 3rd party code editors also.
Yes, the one built into the browser. It’s good for one off fixes, but not somewhere you’d want to spend hours writing code. I’ve used Atom with Liquid syntax highlighting, and Motifmate toolbox for sync in the past. But I like the potential in what OP shared.
