About Gomry
Gomry is an AI-native event platform that's targeting the $400B annual advertising budget that goes into events.
We're building a proprietary AI-native ad network that installs on our own and third-party ticketing platforms, with placements that are ultra-native for the event industry. This enables event organizers and small ticketing platforms worldwide to easily monetize through digital sponsorships without lifting a finger, and without ruining the UX.
We're profitable with ~60,000 monthly active users and backed by investors from Google, Z Fellows, BeReal, Meta, Klarna, Stripe, AppLovin and Bending Spoons.
As a small team, we’re all generalists and are constantly picking up new challenges. When it comes to code, we’re looking to work with experienced people who can pick a problem and solve it. We use TypeScript and build scalable systems so we can continuously make progress on a solid foundation. We don’t expect you to have a background in everything we use, but we do expect strong JavaScript fundamentals and experience building scalable infrastructure and backend solutions.
What you'll do
Build the backend for various user-facing features
Optimize real-time, synchronized data delivery across our clients
Improve database and infrastructure performance by implementing caching solutions, connection pooling
Improve observability, monitoring, and alerting for our service so that we can better respond to operational incidents
Scale our service via architectural changes as well as infrastructure improvements
Redefine best-in-class software development processes so that we can build a purpose-built product.
Occasionally travel to San Francisco for some on‑site collaboration.
How we work
We maximize for trust in our builders. Teams set their own rhythms, communicate directly, and keep meetings to a minimum. There are few distractions, and a shared respect for uninterrupted focus. Deep thinking time is treated as something worth protecting. We believe that quality compounds when work has time to develop
At Gomry that means:
Small teams, clear ownership. One to two people is typical. Teams assemble around a project and disband when done. Project leads rotate. Often engineers or designers lead.
One product team, one roadmap. We do not use OKRs or run A/B tests. We align on a north star and make decisions with judgment, customer insight, and taste.
Protect quality. We keep a zero-bugs policy. Bugs get fixed now, not later. We review a weekly bug dashboard to rebalance load and spot patterns.
Practice the craft. We train the team to see what is off. More than 1,000 small fixes over two years have raised the bar and changed how we build in the first place. Feature roasts help us ship with better judgment.
Use constraints. Constraints create clarity. We ask why a feature matters, why now, and for whom. We keep the bar high by saying no.
Stay close to customers. We build what customers need, we treat customer requests as input, not instructions.
At Gomry, we believe the best products come from strong opinions informed by customer reality. Customer feedback serves as the whetstone that sharpens intuition, rather than the source of product vision.
We want Gomry to be a haven for self-motivated individual contributors.
People generally just make things happen through their own enthusiasm and force of will rather than rely on managers to do their bidding.
People at Gomry study the world as they move through it, rather than rely exclusively on their own personal experience for all their context and idea-generation. It makes the team particularly good at finding elegant solutions to many shapes of problems.
Take responsibility for bugs. Mistakes happen, but every bug we ship to users is a disappointment.
