Senior Software Engineer - Edge-Services Security

StubHub•Aliso Viejo, CA

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

StubHub is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for its Edge Services team to help build and operate the global infrastructure that supports content delivery, edge security, and traffic protection. The team owns CDN infrastructure, bot management, DNS, and traffic-layer protections, treating edge infrastructure as a product through standardized interfaces, zero-trust principles, and scalable internal tooling. It works closely with Security Engineering, SRE, and product development teams to provide availability, reliability, and security. The role focuses on designing and operating CDN and edge-security systems, mitigating malicious automated traffic, building reusable infrastructure-as-code modules, integrating fraud signals into edge decisions, and improving observability and resilience. The position is hybrid, with three days in the office and two days remote, and is based in New York, NY; Century City, CA; or Aliso Viejo, CA.

Requirements

Expert-level experience with AWS edge and networking services, including CloudFront, WAF, Route 53, Shield, and Global Accelerator.
Expert-level proficiency with Terraform and production infrastructure-as-code patterns.
Deep experience implementing or operating enterprise-grade bot-management platforms, such as HUMAN, AWS Bot Control, Cloudflare Bot Management, or Akamai Bot Manager.
Advanced knowledge of HTTP, CDN caching strategies, edge-compute functions such as Lambda@Edge, and TLS management.
Strong software-development experience in a modern language such as Python, Go, TypeScript, or Java.
Track record of building safe, observable, and performant infrastructure at scale.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with building or scaling fraud-prevention systems or integrating with fraud-intelligence platforms.
Experience authoring real-time request-evaluation logic at the edge.
Familiarity with HTTP/2, QUIC, and emerging transport protocols for low-latency content delivery.
Familiarity with custom device fingerprinting, rate limiting, and CAPTCHA challenge orchestration.
Experience supporting traffic segmentation, geo-steering, or multi-CDN architecture.
Background in high-scale event collection and processing for edge analytics.
Proficiency implementing defense-in-depth mechanisms for Layer 7 attacks.
Proficiency building distributed rate-limiting or request-scoring systems.
Familiarity with secure-system-design principles and zero-trust architectures.
Contributions to open-source projects in edge, networking, or observability.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and operate CDN infrastructure using AWS CloudFront, Global Accelerator, bot management, and related services.
Develop scalable systems to detect and mitigate malicious automated traffic using commercial platforms and homegrown controls.
Create reusable Infrastructure as Code modules so other teams can deploy edge services safely and consistently.
Integrate with fraud detection pipelines to inform real-time blocking or scoring decisions at the edge.
Collaborate with security and platform teams to enforce zero-trust controls, request validation, and origin shielding.
Integrate CDN and bot-management application coverage into developer-platform software and automation products.
Drive edge observability strategy using metrics, traces, and logs to detect anomalies and optimize performance.
Evaluate and implement technologies such as edge compute, rate-limiting frameworks, and multi-CDN failover strategies.
Participate in incident response and root-cause analysis for edge-service outages or abuse-related escalations.
