Senior Software Engineer (Content Platforms)

About Tubi :

Boldly built for every fandom, Tubi is a free streaming service that entertains over 100 million monthly active users. Tubi offers the world's largest collection of Hollywood movies and TV shows, thousands of creator‑led stories and hundreds of Tubi Originals made for the most passionate fans. Headquartered in San Francisco and founded in 2014, Tubi is part of Tubi Media Group, a division of Fox Corporation.

About the Role :

The Content Platforms Engineering team builds and scales the core infrastructure that powers Tubi’s content lifecycle—from partner onboarding to video delivery. We focus on reliable, performant, and cost‑efficient distributed systems that enable seamless video ingestion, transcoding, and playback.

You’ll join a collaborative team of engineers passionate about video streaming technologies, large‑scale system design, and cross‑functional impact across Tubi’s content pipeline.

This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco office. You must be willing to travel three days a week.

What You’ll Do :

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will :

  • Contribute to the design and implementation of distributed systems supporting content ingestion, transformation, and delivery.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Content teams to improve our content pipeline efficiency and streaming quality.
  • Take ownership of medium‑to‑large components, ensuring reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Participate in code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and uphold engineering best practices.

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives on hands‑on system building and iterative improvement, with growing influence over design and technical direction.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain distributed services to ensure reliability and scalability.
  • Optimize content delivery or video transcoding workflows in collaboration with cross‑functional teams.
  • Contribute to performance improvements and cost reductions across the CDN and storage layers.
  • Design and implement APIs, background jobs, and service integrations.
  • Participate in on‑call rotations and contribute to improving system observability.
  • Your Background

  • 3+ years of experience in backend or distributed systems engineering (Elixir, Erlang, Go, Ruby, Scala, or Python preferred).
  • Experience with job processing frameworks (e.g., Oban, Sidekiq, Celery).
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes and gRPC / Protocol Buffers.
  • Solid understanding of databases, caching, and distributed system design fundamentals.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience building or integrating content management systems for large‑scale media or data platforms.
  • Understanding of metadata models, content workflows, and publishing pipelines.
  • Familiarity with internal tools development or partner‑facing content interfaces is a strong plus.
  • Distributed Systems

  • Experience with data caching, service orchestration, or scalable backend architectures.
  • Emphasis on testing, CI / CD, and code quality.
  • AI Agents

  • Experience using or integrating AI‑powered agents to automate workflows, improve operational efficiency, or support developer productivity.
  • Familiarity with frameworks or APIs for LLM‑based agents, such as LangChain, OpenAI Assistants API, or custom automation agents.
  • Interest in leveraging AI for content operations, metadata enrichment, or developer tooling within the content platform ecosystem.
  • Infrastructure

  • Familiarity with CDN, Cloud Storage, and performance monitoring tools.
  • Video Transcoding

  • Exposure to tools such as FFmpeg, USP, or Shaka, and formats like H264 / H265 / AV1 / HLS / DASH.
  • Experience working on video transcoding or streaming pipelines is a plus.
  • $186,400 - $266,300 USD (High cost labor markets such as Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco; pay range may vary. Eligible for annual discretionary bonus, long‑term incentive plan, and benefits including medical / dental / vision, insurance, 401(k), paid time off, and other benefits as per applicable plan documents.)

    We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories consistent with applicable law.

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information you provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.
