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.

We are seeking a skilled Platform Engineer to join the Core Compute team. This role is central to the design, development, and maintenance of our end-to-end Compute Platform. Responsibilities include provisioning, maintaining, and optimizing the platform, as well as creating the interfaces and tooling that enable our internal users to run critical production services, internal tooling, and facilitate AI Agent and model training.

About the Compute Platform Team

The Compute Platform team's goal is to deliver an intuitive, performant, and cross-language environment for hundreds of services across StubHub. We own the platform that empowers developers to accelerate their work and focus on business objectives by abstracting and automating complex, common concerns. This includes deployment, configuration, service discovery, and day 2 operations for their entire service fleet. We operate the Platform as a product, not a service desk, promoting self-service, providing "easy buttons," and fostering empowerment over rigid controls and gates.
