Director, Software Engineering at Tubi - Canada in Toronto, ON
Job Description
About the Role:
Tubi is seeking a Director, Software Engineering to own the strategy and execution of Content Onboarding and Content Delivery. Content Onboarding owns how our content partners and independent creators get content into Tubi, including Creator Portal, Tubi's scaled creator acquisition platform. Content Delivery owns how that content reaches viewers: the content metadata every Tubi service reads on the viewer hot path, image serving, and multi-CDN video delivery. With over 300,000 movies and TV shows and more than 100 million monthly active users, we tackle problems in the space of content ingestion, editing, publishing, and delivery that will shape the future of streaming.
In this role, you will lead and build a high-performing organization of managers and engineers while staying close to the technical work. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will set the strategic direction for the software architecture, third-party integrations, UI flows, and creator tools, and deliver highly available, ultra-low-latency data reads for our graph of services. Together with your peers in engineering, you will own automated ingestion and quality assurance for partner and creator content: automated QC on partner deliveries, AI-generated metadata, and the human review loops that grade automated QC and feed corrections back into it. Our stack is Elixir, Rust, React and TypeScript, and gRPC and Protobuf, running on AWS and Kubernetes (EKS).
You will tackle complex software engineering and data infrastructure problems at scale and partner closely with cross-functional teams to ship solutions that improve how our viewers experience Tubi, and transform the future of entertainment.
This is a hybrid role based out of our Toronto office. You must be willing to travel to our Toronto office two days/week.
What You'll Do:
- Lead, build, and grow a software engineering organization of managers and engineers across Content Onboarding and Content Delivery, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and rapid iteration
- Define and drive the long-term technical roadmap for Content Onboarding, covering Creator Portal, technical foundations, product experience, third-party integrations with our content partners, and automated onboarding, ingestion, and quality assurance of partner and creator content
- Reduce latency and improve reliability of content metadata availability for all services at Tubi by partnering closely with Data Engineering and Data Infrastructure teams to deliver a next-generation content catalog to the hot path for viewers
- Own the content delivery infrastructure that serves images and video to viewers, including multi-CDN routing and image serving
- Stay hands-on: conduct deep dives into our stack, identify platform refactors, and invest in foundations that will allow us to scale to our next stage of growth. Prototype solutions, set technical direction through hands-on work, and lead by example
- Continuously monitor, evaluate, and optimize the onboarding of creators and the delivery of our entire content catalog to Tubi and our partners
- Partner with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, Data, and Content Acquisition to shape technical strategy, influence product and technical priorities, and drive engineering investments that deliver viewer and business impact
Your Background:
- 10+ years of industry experience in software engineering, with a strong record of building production systems at scale
- 5+ years of leadership and management experience, including managing managers, with a proven ability to build and lead strong technical teams while remaining hands-on and in the details
- Deep expertise in distributed systems, services, infrastructure management, reliability, and resiliency
- Experience leading teams that have shipped both a partner-facing product and a low-latency, highly available read path
- Experience building and operating integrations with external partners, including feed specifications, delivery SLAs, and partner-facing tooling
- Experience with production-grade AI automation and the teams and organizational rhythms required to build and operate it
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence product and technical strategy
