About The Position

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. 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. 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.

Requirements

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
Strong software engineering and communication skills
3+ years of experience delivering production-quality software
Expertise in building microservices in Golang, Java, C++ or similar
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
Professional experience using modern log/metric aggregation software (e.g. Datadog, Elasticsearch + Kibana, Splunk)
Experience working with external stakeholders

Nice To Haves

Deep passion for the distributed systems space and solving complex problems
Familiarity with microservice architectures and experience building infrastructure platforms and tools

Familiarity with VAST, VMAP, SSAI
Familiarity with video ad servers like Freewheel, Publica, or Google Ad Manager
Experience writing and deploying cloud-agnostic code (e.g. GCP, AWS)
