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.

StubHub is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Web Foundations team within Consumer App Foundations (CAF).
Web Foundations is responsible for building and evolving the core web platform that powers all consumer-facing experiences across StubHub. Rather than focusing on individual features, this team designs and maintains the shared architecture, frameworks, services, and tooling that enable hundreds of engineers to ship high-quality experiences at scale.
As a Senior Software Engineer on Web Foundations, you will play a key role in shaping the technical direction of our consumer web ecosystem. You will drive architectural improvements, elevate engineering standards, and build scalable fullstack systems that accelerate innovation across the organization.
This is a high-impact role for engineers who think in systems, care deeply about craftsmanship, and want to influence how a global marketplace is built.

- Shared frameworks, component libraries, and design system integration
- Platform services and APIs supporting consumer workflows
- Performance, reliability, and scalability at marketplace scale
- Developer tooling and experimentation enablement
- Establishing engineering guardrails that make quality the default
We partner closely with product, design, AI, and infrastructure teams to ensure StubHub’s consumer platform remains cohesive, performant, and future-ready.
What You'll Do:
- Design and evolve core frontend and backend platform architecture
- Build reusable fullstack systems, libraries, and services used across multiple product teams
- Lead technical initiatives that improve performance, reliability, and developer velocity
- Drive cross-team architectural alignment and reduce system complexity
- Establish best practices around testing, observability, scalability, and maintainability
- Contribute to experimentation-ready infrastructure and feature enablement tooling
- Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar across the organization
- Influence long-term platform strategy while remaining hands-on in implementation
- 6–10+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong experience building modern fullstack applications (React, JavaScript/TypeScript + backend technologies such as C#, Java, Python, or similar)
- Experience designing scalable frontend or platform-level architectures
- Deep understanding of performance optimization, system design, and distributed service interactions
- Proven track record of leading complex initiatives from concept through production
- Experience supporting multiple teams through shared platforms or reusable systems
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills
- Experience building or evolving design systems or shared component libraries
- Experience with experimentation platforms, feature flagging systems, or A/B testing frameworks
- Experience supporting high-traffic, global consumer applications
- Experience operating in AI-enabled or experimentation-first environments
What We Offer:
- Accelerated Growth Environment: An environment designed for swift skill and knowledge enhancement, where you have the autonomy to lead experiments and tests on a massive scale.
- Top Tier Compensation Package: Competitive base, equity, and upside that tracks with your impact.
- Flexible Time Off: Enjoy unlimited Flex Time Off, giving you the flexibility to manage your schedule and take time to recharge as needed.
- Comprehensive Benefits Package: Prioritize your well-being with a comprehensive benefits package, featuring 401k, and premium Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance options
The anticipated gross base pay range is below for this role. Actual compensation will vary depending on factors such as a candidate’s qualifications, skills, experience, and competencies.
