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.

What You'll Do:

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

Minimum Qualifications and Experience:

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

Ideal Qualifications and Experience:

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

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

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

Perks & Benefits:

Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Fubo's equity plan, annual cash bonus plans, unlimited PTO, and a full range of medical benefits.
