About the Team: Tubi's Internal Tools team is at the forefront of AI integration, developing everything from developer resources to production-grade AI for business operations. We are the group responsible for turning AI from an experiment into an operating capability: training, infrastructure, developer agents, and AI-powered business systems. Engineers operate with high ownership and autonomy, collaborating on shared architectural decisions and AI infrastructure. What You'll Do: Own systems end to end — design them, build them, and support them in production. Lead the projects you own: sequence the work, decide what lands first, and set technical direction for the engineers working with you. Sit with the people who use what you build, and turn what you learn there into a system. Design the service boundaries, contracts and schema evolution that let our platforms grow without breaking the teams depending on them. Make our AI systems dependable in production: evaluation harnesses, human approval steps before an agent acts, retries that handle a model returning something unexpected, and cost tracking that tells you what a task costs before you run it. Build what other engineers build on — agent skills, tool and MCP integrations, shared libraries — and raise the bar through code review, design discussion and mentoring. Spot the platform work nobody has asked for yet, make the case for it, and build it. Your Background: 5+ years of professional experience building and operating production systems, from design through production ownership. A system you designed and can walk us through end to end — where its boundaries sit, what constrained it, and what you chose against. Strong programming proficiency in a statically typed language such as Rust, Go, C++, Java, Kotlin, C#, or TypeScript. Production Rust is a plus rather than a requirement. You have owned a service in production: you wrote the runbooks, you knew what it cost, and you were the one paged when it broke. Expe

This involves building self-service infrastructure and critical components such as the inference engine, feature store, vector store, and experimentation engine. You will improve the way we deploy and operate our services and even contribute to open-source projects. This role grants the architectural freedom to explore new frameworks, lead critical cross-functional projects, and transform the capabilities of our ML and Product teams. Responsibilities: Design and build scalable, high throughput, and low latency distributed systems using Scala Build reusable components and services that serve various ML applications like Personalization, Search, Ads and Exploration Partner closely with ML engineers to understand their challenges and limitations and develop scalable solutions to address them. Proactively recommend solutions to keep our ML Inference stack state of the art. Take a data driven approach to identifying & optimizing latency, cost, and efficiency of our infra. Lead large scale cross functional refactorings if necessary Mentor other engineers on the team on system design, effective incident management, interviewing, leveraging LLMs for work, etc. Collaborate with ML, Product, and cross functional engineering teams to define the long term vision and architecture for ML Infrastructure at Tubi. Your Background: Experience designing and building scalable, distributed systems in any modern backend language (e.g., Scala, Java, Python, Go, C++); experience with Scala or JVM b
