## Job description

About Fubo:

FuboTV Inc. is a consumer-first live TV streaming company that is defining the future of TV.

Ranked among Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies (2026) and the Financial Times’ The Americas’ Fastest-Growing Companies (2026, 2025), FuboTV owns Hulu + Live TV (entertainment), Fubo (sports) and Molotov (entertainment and sports), which stream in markets around the globe.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to deliver premium sports, news and entertainment programming through a best-in-class user experience that offers greater choice, flexibility and value.

About the Role:

*This role is a New York City based HYBRID position. Candidates must be located in NYC, and willing to come into the office on a hybrid basis, three times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday).*

Fubo is looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our product development team. In this role, you'll design and build the scalable APIs that power Fubo's backend-driven user experiences across the globe.

You'll work closely with a Backend Engineering Manager and collaborate across disciplines, partnering with product managers, QA, and frontend and backend engineers, to ship features across web, mobile, Smart TV, Roku, and Apple TV.

We're looking for engineers who care as much about the product experience as they do about the engineering systems that drive it. If you take pride in optimizing user journeys, owning system performance end-to-end, and operating within a complex distributed microservices architecture, you'll thrive here.

Requirements:

- 7+ years of experience shipping production code. We use Go, so experience with that (or another strongly-typed language) is ideal.
- Solid cloud and infrastructure chops. You've built reliable backend services on infrastructure (we use GCP) and are comfortable deploying with Docker and Kubernetes.
- You can navigate ambiguity. You're a self-starter who can take a vague idea, work with product teams to hammer out the details, and own it all the way to delivery. We are involved in all stages of the product life cycle, not solely engineering.
- A pragmatist who cares about quality. You advocate for simple, maintainable solutions and have a habit of leaving the codebase better than you found it.
- Team-first. You enjoy mentoring others, sharing what you know, and fostering a culture of honest, empathetic feedback to help others grow.
- Curiosity and learning. You're genuinely interested in how AI tools can change the way we write and ship code. You seek to continuously expand your and your teammates’ abilities.

Perks & Benefits:

- At Fubo, you will have the opportunity to personally influence what live media looks like after it goes through its next big transformation
- Fubo provides a highly competitive compensation based on experience and market standards
- Robust benefit package including Health/Dental/Vision coverage 401k, Life Insurance, and commuter benefits
- Free Premium Fubo Account
- Unlimited PTO days and regular company-wide activities
- Fubo's main headquarters are located in Midtown Manhattan, with offices in Paris, and Bangalore
- Fubo is an e-verified company

Fubo’s minimum base salary for this role if hired in New York City is $185,000 per year; maximum base salary for this role is $215,000 per year. Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Fubo's equity plan, annual cash bonus plans, unlimited PTO, and a full range of medical benefits. The final offer amount will be at the company’s sole discretion and determined by multiple factors, including years and depth of experience and expertise, and other business considerations.

## About Fubo

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Fubo is a sports-first live TV streaming platform that offers a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD) service, now combined with Hulu + Live TV under the ownership of The Walt Disney Company.
- **Entity Type**: Public (NYSE: FUBO)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2015 (originally launched as a soccer-focused streaming service)
- **Founders**: David Gandler, Alberto Horihuela, Sung Ho Choi

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Live TV Streaming / Entertainment / Sports Media
- Target customers: B2C (direct-to-consumer) – cord-cutters, sports fans, and live TV viewers in the US, Canada, Spain, and France (via Molotov)
- Mission/purpose: To create a streaming platform that transcends the industry’s current virtual MVPD model by delivering premium sports, news, and entertainment programming through a best-in-class user experience.

## Products & Services
- **Fubo (US & Canada)**: A sports-first live TV streaming service offering over 100+ channels, including major sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, Premier League), news, network TV, and movies. Available as multiple subscription tiers with add-on packages. Now operated separately from Hulu + Live TV under the combined entity.
- **Hulu + Live TV**: An entertainment-focused live TV streaming service that is now part of the combined FuboTV Inc. portfolio. Continues to operate as a separate brand in the Hulu app, often bundled with Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN Unlimited.
- **Molotov (France)**: A live TV streaming service offering entertainment and sports content, serving the French market.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Market cap ~$467.7 million (as of mid-2026). The combined company (Fubo + Hulu + Live TV) is the 6th largest Pay TV company in the US.
- **Key Metric**: Combined subscriber base of ~6.2 million subscribers across all services (as of March 2026). Annual revenue of ~$1.6 billion.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: The Walt Disney Company holds a ~70% interest in the combined entity following a business combination completed on October 29, 2025. Disney committed a $145 million term loan to Fubo in 2026 as part of the transaction. Board includes Andy Bird (Chairman) and other Disney-affiliated directors.
- **Growth Signals**: Ranked among The Americas’ Fastest-Growing Companies 2025 by the Financial Times. The merger with Hulu + Live TV creates significant scale and potential for content cost savings, advertising optimization, and cross-sell opportunities. Operates in 11 countries.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Moat**: The deep, multi-year content licensing agreements for sports rights (over 55,000 live sporting events annually) create a defensible position. The combined scale of Fubo + Hulu + Live TV (6th largest US Pay TV operator) provides significant leverage with content providers and advertisers. The relationship with Disney provides access to premium content (ESPN, ABC, Disney) and advertising resources.
- **Product Differentiation**: Sports-first identity distinguishes it from entertainment-focused competitors. The combined entity offers consumers "greater choice and flexibility" between a sports-focused app (Fubo) and an entertainment-focused bundle (Hulu + Live TV).

## Strategic Focus
- **Growth & Profitability**: Under CEO David Gandler, the focus is on driving growth and profitability by leveraging Disney’s resources and the scale of the combined business. Key levers include flexible programming packaging, advertising optimization (with Disney’s ad sales team), and cost synergies.
- **Consumer Choice**: Offering multiple plan options (skinny to robust) at different price points to capture a wide audience.
- **Fiscal Year Change**: Fiscal year changed to end September 30, with the first full year post-merger ending September 30, 2026.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a diverse group of "individuals, creatives, technologists, analysts and more" united by a goal of changing how people watch live TV. Culture emphasizes pushing boundaries, creativity, support, and teamwork.
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Global company with offices in New York City (HQ), Denver, Paris, and Bangalore. Roles may be remote/hybrid depending on the position and location.
- **Compensation & Perks**: Highly competitive compensation with annual merit increases, bonus programs, and RSUs/equity. Generous benefits include health/dental/vision (up to 100% sponsored), 401k + match, unlimited vacation days, paid parental leave, free Fubo subscription, and stocked pantries with snacks/coffee.
- **Growth Opportunity**: As a public company in a post-merger integration phase, employees have the chance to shape the future of a combined streaming giant backed by Disney. Technical roles are prominent (20% of workforce in technical departments) with active hiring in engineering, AI, and infrastructure.
