About

About the Role: Tubi's Core Experience Backend team is responsible for building the high‑performance, secure, and scalable systems that power our business. We have built disaster‑resilient systems to ensure Tubi APIs continue to perform even under extreme traffic conditions. Our team and services have delivered seamless operations for massive events such as the Super Bowl and World Cup while consistently delivering a great experience to our viewers.
On this team, you will participate in major campaigns, contribute to our critical backend services, support multiple platforms, and play a key role in shaping and refining the overall backend architecture.
This is a hybrid role based out of our SF office. You must be willing to travel to our SF office two days/week.
What You'll Do: We are looking for a software engineer who is proactive, collaborative, and pragmatic with a passion for solving real‑world problems. In this role, you will:
Design and implement high‑performance backend services in Elixir
Architect and evolve microservices and distributed systems in Kubernetes.
Optimize systems for scale, resilience, observability, and security
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to deliver pragmatic solutions to complex problems
Explore and integrate AI‑based development tools into daily workflows
Work across service boundaries, own critical architecture/service design, and help evolve Tubi's backend system.
Your Background:
Experience in Elixir or strong background in other backend or functional programming languages
Familiarity with gRPC/Protocol Buffers, RESTful API design, Kubernetes, and observability solutions
Experience designing distributed systems with clean APIs and modular components
System design and architecture skills with emphasis on reliability and performance
Experience with continuous delivery of software systems
Bonus / Preferred
Rust programming experience
Extensive experience with Elixir in production environments
Familiarity with Pingora or Nginx
Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes
The AI Mandate: AI‑Driven Development Practice This role goes beyond traditional engineering: you will extensively use AI to build the backend stack. The goal is to unlock smarter execution, faster delivery, and automation at scale, while ensuring responsible use of these technologies. This includes but not limited to:
AI‑Augmented Backend Development: Using AI‑assisted coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate development while maintaining rigorous standards for correctness, security, and performance. You will set the bar for how backend engineers harness AI to iterate faster, write safer code, and document systems more effectively.
AI‑Enhanced Architecture & Optimization: Exploring how AI can assist in system design, performance tuning, and anomaly detection across Tubi’s distributed backend. You will prototype and integrate AI‑powered optimizations that improve throughput, reduce latency, and detect inefficiencies in large‑scale microservice architectures.
AI‑Driven Developer Experience: Contributing to internal tools and platforms that use AI to improve the daily developer workflow, ranging from automated code reviews and test generation to smarter observability dashboards. You will help evolve Tubi’s backend development culture into an AI‑native practice.
Employment Details Pay range: $186,400—$266,300 USD annually. Eligible for a discretionary bonus, long‑term incentive plan, and benefits including medical, dental, vision, insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and other benefits per applicable plans.
Equal Opportunity Statement 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.
