About Us:

FanSnap, based in Palo Alto, CA, is an early-stage consumer Internet company that is focused on growing the live event ticket market. The company is well-funded by a top-tier venture capital firm and has recruited a world-class management team with leading technology and domain expertise. We offer both competitive pay and a chance to be a "team owner" via stock options.

We're building a small, highly select team comprised of people so great that you would hang out with them even if you didn't have to work with them. If you're our ideal candidate, you're a live event "fan" (sports, concerts, theatre) that is tormented by the imperfections of the current online ticket buying experience. You realize that there is a simpler, faster and better way to find exactly the tickets you want on the web and are excited to help improve that core search experience for millions of fans.

FanSnap is an equal opportunity employer. Fans are diverse so it makes perfect sense for us to be as well.

FanSnap does not accept agency or recruiter resumes and will not be responsible for paying any fees associated with such resumes.
