What is BookedOut?

BookedOut is an accessible, trusted marketplace offering everyday individuals opportunities to work events with the world’s biggest brands.  Through a proven shift-booking process delivered via an intuitive mobile user experience, motivated people across the US are now representing the products and services they already know and love.

This past year we implemented a full tech evolution into mobile that has led to a complete company rebrand and the launch of BookedOut – but we’re not newcomers. Our team of Founders spent the past 6 years as industry leaders in the experiential marketing contractor space. We’ve activated 1,000,000 event hours (yes, 1 million), proudly providing tens of thousands of talented people with opportunities to put their skills and education to use and earn great money. With that expertise as a rock-solid foundation, we built an efficient, feature-rich mobile marketplace to scale to unlimited opportunities for everyone.

But that’s not enough. We want to build more, which is why we need you!   We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Chicago startup and take an integral role in the continued development of the BookedOut platform.
