Description
Eventbrite, the global event management and ticketing platform, will open in May 2019 its first European development centre in Madrid, creating about 200 new positions over a period of three years. The company is looking for computer engineers and product developers, to evolve the technological platform and manage events and ticket sales worldwide.
The announcement comes after the company acquired Ticketea (the Spanish leader of the sector) in 2018. Ticketea had two offices in Spain, one in Madrid and one in Villena, which employed 80 people. The employees of Madrid, about 65, will move in May to the new headquarters, while those of Villena will continue in their posts.
