StubHub is on a mission to redefine the live event experience on a global scale. 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 Senior Software Engineers to design and develop next-generation technologies and complex features that transform the way millions of users explore, interact with, and participate in live events worldwide.

StubHub is committed to being a phenomenal and inclusive workplace. We expect you to also serve as an advocate and mentor for your team members, demonstrating leadership qualities and setting an example for those around you.
