Engineering Manager - FinTech
About The Position
StubHub is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a high-impact team responsible for building the data systems that power personalized marketing and retention experiences for millions of fans. This is a technical leadership role focused on driving business and customer outcomes through operational rigor, data-informed decisions, and strong people management. You’ll be expected to deliver high-quality results, build a high-performing team, and raise the bar across engineering, execution, and impact. StubHub’s FinTech organization builds the financial backbone of a global ticketing marketplace. This role leads two closely connected teams: Revenue Finance and Tax. Revenue Finance Engineering owns the systems that turn millions of transactions into accurate, auditable financial data - revenue recognition, billing and settlement, ledgers, reconciliation, and the reporting that Finance and Accounting rely on to close the books and report results. Tax Engineering owns how StubHub calculates, collects, and remits taxes across jurisdictions, including sales tax, VAT/GST, and marketplace facilitator obligations, along with the compliance and reporting workflows behind them. These systems sit at the intersection of engineering, finance, and regulation: they have to be correct, resilient, and audit-ready at scale, and they underpin decisions made all the way up to the executive level. As Engineering Manager, you’ll set technical direction across both teams, partner closely with Finance, Accounting, and Tax stakeholders, and grow a team that treats financial integrity as a first-class engineering problem. You’ll work on critical systems that fuel StubHub’s growth engine. This is a high-visibility role with executive support, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to influence architecture, mentor engineers, and shape how we drive customer lifetime value. If you like solving hard technical problems with measurable impact and enjoy blending product, data, and engineering, this is the team for you.

- Proven ability to drive execution, define clear success metrics, and solve complex problems with data and rigor.
