## 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 seeking an enthusiastic Software Engineer to join our Ads Engineering team. You'll help build and scale the backend infrastructure and services that power Fubo's advertising platform — no prior ad-tech experience required, we'll ramp you up on the domain.

As an engineer on this team, you'll work on business-critical distributed systems and data problems: services that interface with ad-decisioning systems, video player vendors, ad routers, and server-side ad insertion partners. You'll help increase the reliability and observability of this infrastructure and build tooling that lets our Advertising Operations and Sales teams move fast in a complex ecosystem. Over time, you'll become one of the team's go-to experts on our ad platform and the broader ad-tech landscape — but you don't need that background to start.

This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving backend, distributed-systems, and data engineering problems, and wants exposure to a fast-moving, high-scale domain.

What You'll Do:

- Build and support our ads engineering infrastructure and services
- Drive continuous improvements to the reliability, performance, accuracy, and security of services
- Solve distributed systems engineering and data problems, utilizing the best tools and technologies
- Build shared libraries, tools, or frameworks that improve engineering solutions
- Implement unit and integrations tests to maintain confidence in the platform's stability
- Identify and execute on opportunities to develop software to help increase efficiency, visibility, and performance of our ad technology
- Extract and aggregate data from a variety of sources into data warehouses
- Leverage AI tools across the development lifecycle — coding, testing, debugging, and documentation — to move faster without lowering our quality bar

Minimum Qualifications and Experience:

- Strong CS foundation
- Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar) as part of your daily workflow, with the judgment to review, test, and validate AI-generated code before it ships
- Strong software engineering and communication skills
- 3+ years of experience delivering production-quality software
- Expertise in building microservices in Golang, Java, C++ or similar
- Familiarity with modern code-deployment toolchains (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)
- Hands-on experience with relational and non-relational databases — you will be expected to ingest large datasets and make them accessible to others
- Professional experience using modern log/metric aggregation software (e.g. Datadog, Elasticsearch + Kibana, Splunk)
- Experience working with external stakeholders

Ideal Qualifications and Experience:

- Deep passion for the distributed systems space and solving complex problems
- Familiarity with microservice architectures and experience building infrastructure platforms and tools
- Experience building with LLM APIs or agentic workflows (e.g., AI-powered internal tools, MCP integrations, automation agents)
- Previous experience working with online advertising or previous ad-tech experience
- Familiarity with VAST, VMAP, SSAI
- Familiarity with video ad servers like Freewheel, Publica, or Google Ad Manager
- Experience writing and deploying cloud-agnostic code (e.g. GCP, AWS)

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 $160,000 per year; maximum base salary for this role is $190,000 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.
