Job Description

StubHub is on a mission to redefine the live event experience on a global scale. Whether someone is looking to attend their first event or their hundredth, we’re here to delight them all the way from the moment they start looking for a ticket until they step through the gate. The same goes for our sellers. From fans selling a single ticket to the promoters of a worldwide stadium tour, we want StubHub to be the safest, most convenient way to offer a ticket to the millions of fans who browse our platform around the world.

StubHub is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join our Web Foundations team within Consumer App Foundations (CAF). This team builds and evolves the shared web platform that powers StubHub’s consumer experiences across web and mobile, serving millions of fans during some of the highest traffic moments in live events.

As a Staff Engineer on Web Foundations, you will operate as a technical leader and force multiplier, owning critical platform strategy, shaping architecture across teams, and driving engineering excellence end to end. You will work across frontend and backend systems to design foundational capabilities, influence multiple roadmaps, and elevate how product teams build, ship, and scale.

This is a deeply hands-on role for engineers who thrive on solving complex, ambiguous problems, setting technical direction, and building systems that other engineers depend on every day.
