Senior Software Engineer - Security Operations

Stub Hub 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 Stub Hub to be the safest, most convenient way to offer a ticket to the millions of fans who browse our platform around the world.

The Security Operations team owns incident response, threat detection, SIEM engineering, log management, and third-party security risk forming the frontline defense for Stub Hub's global operations.

As a Security Operations Engineer you will bring deep hands‑on experience in incident response and threat detection. You will help extend the existing tooling, automation, and detection infrastructure that enables the team to operate s is not a purely operational role; we are looking for an engineer who writes production-quality code to solve security problems, architects detection pipelines, and help mature Stub Hub’s SOC-less approach to Detection & Response.

You will work closely with Cloud and Infrastructure Security, Identity Engineering, and cross‑functional stakeholders. Your work will directly shape how Stub Hub detects, responds to, and learns from threats.
