Python Developer

Company Description

Our main product is a mobile app that curates events going on in your city and lets you choose an event and pay for a ticket in two taps.  Users love our app designed for spontaneous individuals who are on the go and looking for things to do tonight.  It is installed on one in five smartphones in London.

In 2013 we added New York,  where it is getting more and more popular, and have recently launched in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Edinburgh. More cities are coming!
