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.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Core Platform
- Streaming & Storage team. In this role, you will design, build, and evolve the streaming, messaging, and storage platforms that serve as critical infrastructure for Stub Hub’s engineering organization. You will lead the design and delivery of scalable platform capabilities, partner with engineering teams on their most complex performance and reliability challenges, and help modernize services that operate at the core of Stub Hub’s distributed systems.

You will also play a key role in decomposing large monolithic SQL Server data stores into more purpose‑built storage systems, supported by mature streaming solutions and reliable data access layers.

The team owns foundational products including message queues, DQL, retry infrastructure, message versioning, messaging control planes, and storage platforms such as key-value databases, distributed caches, and blob storage. These systems are used across engineering to support high‑scale, reliable, event‑driven services and business‑critical workflows across listings, transactions, fulfillment, and customer experiences.
