Role
Who you are
- You should be comfortable working independently across system boundaries and mentoring engineers while driving technical strategy
- Experience: 4+ years of backend software development experience, with significant production experience in Rust, C++ (C++17 or later) and/or Golang
- Systems Expertise: Deep understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, memory management, and performance engineering
- Cloud Native: Experience with modern infrastructure including Kubernetes, gRPC, CDNs, S3, and Terraform
- Data Layer: Familiarity with relational and non-relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis, Clickhouse)
- Tooling & Observability: Proficiency with modern observability stacks and CI/CD pipelines
- The "Rust" Factor: A working knowledge or "read-level" proficiency in Rust is a major plus, particularly familiarity with the Tokio or Pingora ecosystems
- AI Enthusiast: Genuine enthusiasm for using and experimenting with AI tools to enhance software engineering workflows
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in C++ and/or Golang to lead the evolution of our backend platform and tooling
- While our ecosystem has historical roots in Elixir/Scala, we are shifting our focus toward strengthening our core infrastructure with high-performance programming languages
- In this role, you’ll architect and implement secure, high-performance systems, collaborating closely with teams focused on compliance, privacy, experimentation, and infrastructure
- While this is primarily a C++ and/or Go role, we maintain a footprint of Rust-based tools. A cursory knowledge of Rust or a willingness to interface with Rust-based infrastructure is critical for this role
- We’re particularly interested in engineers excited to learn and integrate AI-powered coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) into their daily workflow to boost velocity and code quality. Prior experience with such tools is a plus
- Architect & Build: Lead the design, development, and maintenance of high-throughput services and tools using Rust
- Collaborate: Partner with backend and client teams to deliver high-performance, scalable components that power the next era of our platform
- Optimize: Design systems for reliability, observability, and scale, with an emphasis on clean APIs and modular components
- Innovate with AI: Explore and integrate AI-based development tools into engineering workflows; evangelize productivity best practices within the team
- Strategize: Partner with engineering leadership and cross-functional partners to drive technical vision and influence roadmap decisions
- Mentor: Foster a culture of technical rigor, curiosity, and continuous learning by mentoring mid-level and junior engineers
Our take
Tubi is a streaming service that was founded in 2014 on a mission to offer subscribers premium television and movies for free. To achieve this, the streaming service relies on ad revenue to support its extensive content library. Rather than focusing on producing original content, Tubi emphasizes acquiring the right to preexisting shows and movies.
Leveraging a business model centred on ad-supported streaming, Tubi has successfully disrupted the highly competitive industry. And this approach has resonated with audiences, helping the service amass over 100M monthly active users.
With its recent expansion into the UK, Tubi is poised to tap into a new and diverse audience, further solidifying its position as a major player in the ad-supported streaming market.
