Vendelux helps companies discover the best events. Event marketers are the unsung heroes of successful companies. From generating leads to building world-class brands, event marketers make magic happen throughout the year. Vendelux is here to help maximize the impact of all the events that a company sponsors and attends.

We are a Series A SaaS company and provide the system of record for event marketing. Our software platform provides proprietary insights that helps high-growth companies find the highest ROI events, conferences and trade shows to attend and sponsor. We have built an AI-powered platform that customers describe as an event marketer’s dream.

Vendelux was founded in 2021, and our recent $14 million Series A was led by FirstMark, whose portfolio includes companies like Shopify, Pinterest, Discord, Airbnb, Draft Kings, Carta and Justworks (amongst others). Our leadership team includes alumni from Bain, ZoomInfo, Shutterstock, Compass, ModernLoop, Forter, Zulilly, NewtonX.

Data-driven marketers have plenty of tools to optimize their digital ad spend and verify that their ads showed where they were supposed to. We build the same kinds of tools, but for data-driven event marketers, who’ve previously been limited to scanning conference badges at their booth.

We're growing, and looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to help lead our expanding team of software engineers to deliver high-quality, scalable, and reliable products. This role balances people management, technical leadership, and cross-functional collaboration to drive business outcomes. The ideal candidate is both an empowering coach and a systems thinker who ensures the engineering team can execute efficiently and grow professionally.

This is a full-time position based out of NYC. We have a NYC HQ, and our preference is to have engineers come in a hybrid set up with an expectation of 4 days in office. It reports directly to our Head of Engineering.
