Team Lead Backend / Lead Backend Engineer

We asked people around the world: What makes a person a true fan? The answers were: Attending concerts, buying merch, streaming music, and more. But how can fans really prove their fandom to their artist? And do artists actually know who their biggest fans are and why? So far, not at all. To make fans visible to their idols and, on the other hand, give artists a platform to reward their fans for their engagement, we have created reydix.

Reydix is the first overarching fan ecosystem in live entertainment – with the reydix fan app, the B2B app and the LiveTime Wristband. A groundbreaking technology, reshaping how people connect, socialize, entertain and share experiences in the world of artists, venues, brands and their fans. With reydix, for the first time, a real connection is possible.

Currently, we are further growing and are looking for a dedicated and experienced Team Lead Backend / Lead Backend Engineer to join our team on a full-time basis as of now. You’ll be part of a dynamic, agile team of 30 individuals, working in an innovative and tech-driven environment backed by experienced partners. With headquarters in the vibrant Piraeus district, just steps away from the waterfront, you’ll find inspiration in our surroundings and our team’s collective energy.
