Staff Software Engineer - Supply Quality

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 looking for a Staff Software Engineer to drive the next generation of technology that powers how millions of fans explore, interact with, and attend live events worldwide. You'll lead a high-impact engineering team from a technical standpoint, driving key architectural decisions, trade-offs, delivering critical systems that enable trustworthy, scalable, and insightful experimentation across all consumer-facing and internal applications.

As a strategic technical leader, you'll define architecture, ship robust systems rapidly, and raise the technical bar for your team and across the organization. You'll translate ambiguous business needs into executable strategies, produce detailed workplans enabling parallel engineering execution, and drive measurable improvements in quality, performance, and feature velocity. You'll be deeply embedded in shaping our commercial and product strategy, leveraging domain expertise to make decisions that reflect both user needs and business value.

Why We Need You

Imagine a world where attending any live event is just a click away—a world where the excitement starts not at the gate, but the moment they decide to go. That world is built by you. Without your skills, without your dedication to enhancing the user journey through innovation and technology, the magic fades. You are the architect of dreams for millions of fans. Without you, there's no journey to begin.
