Job Description

### The Mission

* _So Long Ticketmaster. It 's Time for "Experiencemaster". *_

We're tired of the ticketing experience making the end user feel like cattle
being herded to the slaughter. This lack of connection is not only something
that frustates end users & this founding team... but also venues across the
nation. There's a desire to build a long term relationship via ticketing,
instead of making events feeling like one off transactions.

Phynx is an event operations & intelligence platform that integrates with top
venues, festivals and event orgs allowing them to cultivate better experiences
through integrating their guest gateways (guestlist, tables, ticketing, etc.)
to a central intelligent CRM.

Our platform has already captured several major venues in Southern California,
delivering them cost reductions and better event ROI.

However, we care so deeply about enhancing the ticketing experience that we're
looking to add a founding team member focused on advancing this initiative.

**Your Role: Take Ticketing from Transactional to Experiential**

We believe sign up to checkout should not only excite the user because of the
experience being attended. It should make the period prior to attending feel
like an experience itself. Your role is to cultivate this effect.

Phynx ticketing should be a portal to building a relationship with each event
host. This can be a complex feat, since most events have multiple facets of
ticketing.

This role would be the owner of all these facets. From different tiers of
tickets, to promoter bookings, to guest list access.

We are looking for someone with strong engineering skills alongside a desire
to cultivate a great end user experience. The primary role will be to maintain
and manage all the ticketing access points and make sure they are not only
reliable, but also enjoyable.

Additionally, this role will work closely with the CTO and have knowledge of
the other integrated aspects of Phynx -- such as tables & CRM. You will likely
have to develop tech involving these pieces as well. The mission of Phynx is
around comprehensive integration, so it's vital that every engineering member
understands the holistic nature of the beast.
