Thank you for applying. That takes time and thought, and we know it.
Your application is with our talent acquisition team now. While you
wait to hear from us, here's what happens next, and an honest look at

The running order
What happens next
Waiting is the worst part of applying anywhere, so here's exactly what
happens. A real person reads every application, not a keyword filter, and we'll come back to you either way, including when the answer is no.
Applied
Where you are right now. Your application is in our pipeline, submitted
through Workable and logged against the role you chose.
Nothing is being assessed yet. This stage is just the record that you're in.
Screened
Someone from our talent acquisition team reads your application against
what the role actually needs, and decides whether to take it forward.
What this stage looks at: whether your experience lines up with the role's requirements. A real person reads it; nothing is filtered out by keyword matching.
Interviewed
Up to three conversations, depending on the role: a phone introduction,
a technical or craft interview with the team you'd actually join, and a
final interview.
What this stage tests: specific things you have actually done. Our interviewers are trained in structured interviewing and the STAR method, which means two things worth preparing for: you'll be asked for real situations rather than opinions, and every candidate for your role gets the same questions in the same order.
How to prepare: pick three or four situations from your
own work where you can say what the situation was, what you personally
did, and how it turned out. Concrete beats polished. "We improved retention" is weaker than "I rewrote the checkout step and drop-off fell".
Offered
If it's a yes, you get the offer and the detail behind it: role, team, package and start date.
Your turn to assess us: ask whatever you still need to know. Nobody here expects you to accept an offer you don't understand.
Hired
Pre-boarding starts before your first day. Accounts, kit and a plan are waiting for you, rather than being assembled around you.
What happens next: see the four onboarding phases further down this page.
How long each stage takes depends on the role, and we'd rather not
promise you a number we can't keep. If you want to know where things
stand, reply to your confirmation email and someone will tell you.
Know the company
From Dubai to the world
It started with a single office in Dubai in 2009. We grew into the
leading ticketing platform in MENA, and today we sell worldwide: concert tours across Europe, Formula 1 races, world-class attractions and major international events.
There's never a boring day with the Platinumlist app.
Our mission, and the bar every team here works to
What we actually do
Your portal to living the moment
Strip the software away and the job is simple. Someone wants to be there when it happens: the goal, the drop, the punchline, the first ride of the day before the queues build. We're what stands between
wanting to be in that room and holding the ticket for it. Get it right
and nobody notices us at all; they just remember the night.
Eleven home markets: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Türkiye, Egypt and Morocco.
And increasingly, everywhere else: we sell into the
UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Malta,
Azerbaijan, Japan, Singapore, Texas and Mexico.
What that means for your job: multiple currencies,
multiple languages including Arabic, and traffic that spikes the hour
a major act goes on sale.
Work you'd have touched recently: COP28 UAE, the ICC
Men's T20 World Cup, La Perle by Dragone, and the OFFLIMITS music
festival.
Designed by experience-lovers. For experience-makers.
Where you'd fit
Pick your team. See what the job actually is.
Ten teams, and no two of them spend a day the same way. Some of them
are in the room with organisers, some are in the venue at 8pm with a
box office to open.
What you'd actually be doing
You build both halves: the site and app that
millions of people buy through, and the internal platform every single
event gets configured in. When a major act goes on sale at 10am, your
work is what holds.

Culture
Things we actually run, not values on a wall
It's easy to paint values on a wall and hope nobody checks. We'd rather
show you what we genuinely run, on a schedule, with real numbers behind it, and let you judge for yourself.
We believe our biggest asset is our people, and that mentoring isn't
defined by hierarchy. Anyone with something to teach can teach it.

Buddy system
From day one
A buddy, a first-week plan and a 30-day check-in, so nobody works it out alone.
If it's a yes
Your first ninety days are already planned
You won't spend your first week hunting for a laptop and a login.
Onboarding runs in four phases, each with someone whose job it is, and
it starts before you arrive, whether you're joining one of our five Gulf offices or working remotely. Remote is a genuine option here, not an exception we tolerate.
01
Pre-boarding
Before you arrive: your accounts and systems access are set up, your Academy invite goes out, and a welcome packet is waiting. Remote joiners get a laptop shipped, a home-office stipend, and monitor, keyboard and headset sent out. Onsite joiners get a desk, full kit and office access ready on day one.
02
Day one
Orientation, your buddy, and your department's tool set, which differs for Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, Finance, Operations, Customer Support, Analytics and Legal.
03
First week
A structured first-week plan with your buddy, plus your mandatory AI License training.
04
First month and beyond
A job scorecard around week two, a 30-day check-in, a probation review roughly ten days before probation ends, and an onboarding feedback round at 90 days, because we want to know if we got this wrong.
