Job description

  • Fubo is seeking an enthusiastic Software Engineer to join our Ads Engineering team. You’ll help build and scale the backend infrastructure and services that power Fubo’s advertising platform — no prior ad-tech experience required, we’ll ramp you up on the domain

  • As an engineer on this team, you’ll work on business-critical distributed systems and data problems: services that interface with ad-decisioning systems, video player vendors, ad routers, and server-side ad insertion partners

  • You’ll help increase the reliability and observability of this infrastructure and build tooling that lets our Advertising Operations and Sales teams move fast in a complex ecosystem. Over time, you’ll become one of the team’s go-to experts on our ad platform and the broader ad-tech landscape — but you don’t need that background to start

  • This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving backend, distributed-systems, and data engineering problems, and wants exposure to a fast-moving, high-scale domain

  • Build and support our ads engineering infrastructure and services

  • Drive continuous improvements to the reliability, performance, accuracy, and security of services

  • Solve distributed systems engineering and data problems, utilizing the best tools and technologies

  • Build shared libraries, tools, or frameworks that improve engineering solutions

  • Implement unit and integrations tests to maintain confidence in the platform’s stability

  • Identify and execute on opportunities to develop software to help increase efficiency, visibility, and performance of our ad technology

  • Extract and aggregate data from a variety of sources into data warehouses

  • Leverage AI tools across the development lifecycle — coding, testing, debugging, and documentation — to move faster without lowering our quality bar

Benefits

  • Fubo’s main Headquarters are located in Midtown Manhattan, with offices in Denver, Paris, and Bangalore

  • At Fubo, you will have the opportunity to personally influence what live media looks like after it goes through its next big transformation

  • Unlimited PTO days and regular company-wide activities

  • Fubo is an e-verified company

  • Robust benefit package including Health/Dental/Vision coverage sponsored up to 100% for employees, 401k, Life Insurance, and commuter benefits

  • Free Premium Fubo Account

  • Health and Wellness initiatives- 3+ years of experience delivering production-quality software

  • Familiarity with modern code-deployment toolchains (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)

  • Hands-on experience with relational and non-relational databases — you will be expected to ingest large datasets and make them accessible to others

  • Experience working with external stakeholders

  • Expertise in building microservices in Golang, Java, C++ or similar

  • Strong software engineering and communication skills

  • Strong CS foundation

  • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar) as part of your daily workflow, with the judgment to review, test, and validate AI-generated code before it ships

  • Professional experience using modern log/metric aggregation software (e.g. Datadog, Elasticsearch + Kibana, Splunk)

  • Deep passion for the distributed systems space and solving complex problems

  • Familiarity with microservice architectures and experience building infrastructure platforms and tools

  • Experience building with LLM APIs or agentic workflows (e.g., AI-powered internal tools, MCP integrations, automation agents)

  • Previous experience working with online advertising or previous ad-tech experience

  • Familiarity with VAST, VMAP, SSAI

  • Experience writing and deploying cloud-agnostic code (e.g. GCP, AWS)

  • Familiarity with video ad servers like Freewheel, Publica, or Google Ad Manager
