StubHub is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Edge Services team, which owns the global content delivery and edge security infrastructure powering one of the world's largest live event marketplaces. This role combines infrastructure engineering with security-focused development to protect millions of fans and sellers on the platform.
You will design, implement, and operate CDN infrastructure using AWS CloudFront, Global Accelerator, and related services. Key responsibilities include developing scalable systems for detecting and mitigating malicious automated traffic using both commercial bot management platforms and custom controls; codifying reusable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules in Terraform to enable safe, consistent deployments across teams; integrating with fraud detection pipelines to inform real-time blocking or scoring decisions at the edge; and collaborating with security and platform teams to enforce zero-trust controls, request validation, and origin shielding.
Additional responsibilities include integrating CDN and bot management coverage into existing developer platform software and automation products; driving edge observability strategy using metrics, traces, and logs to detect anomalies and optimize performance; evaluating and implementing new technologies such as edge compute, rate limiting frameworks, and multi-CDN failover strategies; and participating in incident response and root cause analysis for edge service outages or abuse-related escalations.
The Edge Services team treats edge infrastructure as a product, standardizing interfaces, applying zero-trust principles, and building scalable tooling to enable internal teams. You will collaborate closely with Security Engineering, SRE, and product development teams to provide best-in-class availability, reliability, and security.
Location: Hybrid (3 days in office, 2 days remote) in New York, NY; Century City, CA; or Aliso Viejo, CA.
**Requirements:**
- Expert-level experience with AWS edge and networking services (CloudFront, WAF, Route53, Shield, Global Accelerator)
- Expert-level proficiency with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code patterns in production
- Deep experience implementing or operating enterprise-grade bot management platforms (e.g., HUMAN, AWS Bot Control, Cloudflare Bot Management, Akamai Bot Manager)
- Advanced knowledge of HTTP protocol, CDN caching strategies, edge compute functions (e.g., Lambda@Edge), and TLS management
- Strong software development experience in a modern language (Python, Go, TypeScript, Java)
- Track record of building safe, observable, and performant infrastructure at scale
- Familiarity with building and scaling fraud prevention systems or integrating with fraud intelligence platforms is a plus
**Preferred Skills:**
- Experience authoring real-time request evaluation logic at the edge
- Familiarity with HTTP/2, QUIC, and emerging transport protocols for low-latency content delivery
- Familiarity with custom device fingerprinting, rate limiting, and CAPTCHA challenge orchestration
- Experience supporting traffic segmentation, geo-steering, or multi-CDN architecture
- Background in high-scale event collection and processing for edge analytics
- Proficiency in implementing defense-in-depth mechanisms for Layer 7 attacks
- Proficiency in building distributed rate-limiting or request scoring systems
- Familiarity with principles of secure system design and zero-trust architectures
- Contributions to open-source projects in the edge, networking, or observability space
