SeatGeek · United States
SeatGeek believes live events are powerful experiences that unite humans. With our technological savvy and fan-first attitude we're simplifying and modernizing the ticketing industry. The Financial Technology team builds the systems SeatGeek's finance org runs on, and we're in the middle of an ambitious push to fundamentally change how accounting gets done. We're transforming how the entire controller organization operates — accounting, AP, tax, reconciliations, accruals — taking the routine, manual work and handing it to specialized AI agents and automations, so our team can spend their time on judgment instead of toil. This is a role for someone who knows enough finance to be dangerous and is relentless about automating it. As Lead Architect, you'll hit the ground running on an ambitious backlog of automation work, burn through it, and then take it further — raising the bar for what's possible and transforming how the work itself gets done. More building, more agentic development, less pointing and clicking. You don't need to be a career software engineer; you'll partner with a strong Finance Technology engineering team on the heaviest builds. What we need is someone who understands the domain deeply enough to see what should be automated, is endlessly curious about how to build it, and learns fast enough to go do it.
