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. The same goes for our sellers. From fans selling a single ticket to the promoters of a worldwide stadium tour, we want StubHub to be the safest, most convenient way to offer a ticket to the millions of fans who browse our platform around the world.\nStubHub is hiring an Engineering Manager, AI Engineering to lead the engineering team building the infrastructure, platforms, frameworks, and AI-powered solutions that are helping StubHub become an AI-first company. This is a technical and organizational leadership role for someone who can turn rapidly evolving AI capabilities into reliable products and systems, create clarity in a highly ambiguous space, and build a high-performing engineering team. You’ll help shape and execute StubHub’s AI engineering strategy, enabling teams across the company to use AI safely and effectively at scale to improve productivity, quality, and business operations. \nLocation: Aliso Viejo, CA \nAbout the Team: \nAI Engineering is StubHub’s AI Center of Excellence, responsible for building and operating the shared infrastructure, platforms, frameworks, and engineering foundations that enable teams across the company to use AI effectively and safely. The team’s mission is to make StubHub an AI-first company by turning AI into a reliable force multiplier for employees and, ultimately, the customers they serve. \nThe team works across the AI technology stack, from foundational platform capabilities and reusable frameworks to end-to-end AI-powered solutions. This includes building the systems that allow teams to develop, evaluate, deploy, and operate AI capabilities reliably at scale, as well as solving high-value problems directly where AI can materially improve productivity, quality, or operational efficiency. \nAI Engineering serves teams across StubHub. In some cases, the team builds and owns AI solutions end to end; in others, it provides shared platforms, reusable capabilities, technical guidance, and engineering partnership that enable teams to build effectively themselves. The goal is not simply to introduce more AI tools, but to create durable capabilities that multiply the impact of teams throughout the company. \nWhy This Role Matters: \nAI is becoming an increasingly important part of how StubHub builds products and operates its business. Realizing its potential requires more than experimentation: it requires strong engineering leadership capable of turning emerging technology into reliable systems, focusing investment on the highest-leverage opportunities, and helping a talented engineering team execute effectively. \nYou’ll provide dedicated engineering leadership for this work while partnering closely with senior leadership and senior technical contributors to help shape and execute StubHub’s AI roadmap. You’ll be accountable for the effectiveness of the engineering team-creating clarity around priorities, strengthening execution, developing engineers, and balancing foundational platform investments with high-value AI solutions. \nThe impact extends well beyond this team. Better AI infrastructure, products, and engineering practices can help StubHub employees deliver higher-quality work faster, improve the efficiency and quality of business operations, and shorten the path from idea to customer impact. \nWhat You’ll Do: \nLead a high-performing AI engineering team: Establishclear expectations, coach engineers across career stages, develop senior technical leaders, manage performance thoughtfully and directly, and create an environment where talented engineers can do their best work. \nTurn ambiguity into execution: Translate rapidly evolving AI capabilities and company needs into achievable engineering plans, clarify ownership, manage dependencies, make thoughtful tradeoffs, and drive predictable delivery. \nBuild the foundations for AI at StubHub:Guidethe development and operation of shared AI infrastructure, platforms, and frameworks that enable teams to build, evaluate, deploy, and operateAI-powered solutions safely and efficiently. \nDeliver end-to-end AI solutions: Lead engineering efforts that apply AI to high-value problems across the company, from identifyingthe opportunity through building, evaluating, deploying, and improving production solutions.\nIncrease organizational leverage: Determinewhere AI Engineering should build and own a solution, partner deeply with another team, or create reusable capabilities and guidance that allow teams to become increasingly self-sufficient. \nRaise the quality bar for AI systems: Establishstrong engineering practices for evaluation, reliability, safety, observability, and production readiness rather than treating successful prototypes as finished products. \nRemain technically engaged: Partner closely with senior leadership, Staff engineers, and technical leads on architecture, system design, engineering tradeoffs, and technical quality while preserving strong technical ownership within the team.\nMeasure meaningful impact: Use adoption, satisfaction, productivity, experimentation, delivery, and user-impact signals to understand where AI investments are creating value and guide future investment. \nPartner across StubHub: Work with engineering leadership, technical leaders, and teams across the company to understand their problems, prioritize opportunities, and translate AI capabilities into practical business outcomes. \nWhat Success Looks Like: \nA high-performing engineering team with clear ownership, consistent coaching, strong accountability, growing technical leadership, and increasing impact per engineer. \nMore predictable execution across shared AI infrastructure, platform capabilities, and high-priority AI initiatives, even as technologies, requirements, and dependencies evolve quickly. \nIncreased adoption and satisfaction with AI capabilities, supported by evidence that employees are completing meaningful work more effectively. \nFaster experimentation and shorter idea-to-customer cycles as teams gain access to reliable AI platforms, frameworks, and reusable capabilities. \nStrong production quality across AI systems, including reliability, evaluation, observability, extensibility, and appropriate safeguards. \nA scalable operating model in which AI Engineering focuses its direct ownership on the highest-leverage problems while enabling other teams to use AI effectively and independently. \nSenior and Staff engineers retainmeaningful technical ownership while benefiting froma management partner who aligns technical direction, organizational priorities, and execution. \nWhat We’re Looking For: \n7+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful technical ownership of complex production systems. \n3+ years of direct people leadership experience, with meaningful ownership of hiring, coaching, performance reviews, promotions, performance improvement, and difficult talent decisions. \nExperience leading technically strong engineering teams across a range of career levels, including partnering effectively with Senior and Staff-level engineers. \nStrong technical judgment and recent experience participatingin system design, architecture, and engineering-quality decisions; regular coding is not required. \nExperience building or operating AI-powered products, developer platforms, engineering productivity systems, or other technically complex platform capabilities in production. \nPractical understanding of modern AI systems, including areas such as LLM-powered applications, agents, orchestration, evaluation, observability, reliability, and appropriate safeguards. \nDemonstrated ability to distinguish promising prototypes from production-ready systems and establishthe engineering practices required to operateAI capabilities reliably atscale. \nProven ability to work from first principles, create direction without a complete playbook, prioritize ruthlessly, and deliver in a fast-moving technical environment. \nExperience balancing foundational platform investments with immediate product or business needs and making thoughtful build, partner, and enablement decisions. \nA track recordof building high-performing teams, delivering candid feedback, developing engineers and technical leaders, and maintaininga consistently high performancebar. \nWhat We Offer:\nAccelerated Growth Environment: An environment designed for swift skill and knowledge enhancement, where you have the autonomy to lead experiments and tests on a massive scale.\nTop Tier Compensation Package: Competitive base, equity, and upside that tracks with your impact.\nFlexible Time Off: Enjoy unlimited Flex Time Off, giving you the flexibility to manage your schedule and take time to recharge as needed.\n Comprehensive Benefits Package: Prioritize your well-being with a comprehensive benefits package, featuring 401k, and premium Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance options.\nThe anticipated gross base pay range is below for this role.
