About the Role: Tubi's content platform is the engine behind one of the largest free streaming services in the world. Every play, every deal, every creator, every frame of video flows through systems CPE owns, and the surface area is enormous. Distributed services running on the hottest path of Tubi's traffic. Video pipelines processing one of the largest workloads in streaming. Workflow engines automating the operations that used to consume entire teams. Creator-facing products turning a back-office process into a real platform. And on top of all of it, an AI-native rebuild of the CMS that most companies aren't willing to attempt. This isn't a single-domain role. It's a platform where backend, frontend, video, infrastructure, and applied AI all collide at the scale where decisions actually matter, where an architectural choice ripples across millions of titles and billions of requests, and where the difference between "good enough" and "great" shows up in revenue. We're looking for builders who want to range across domains — backend one quarter, frontend the next, applied AI the one after that — and who want their work to be felt: by viewers when a title plays instantly, by creators when they go live the same day, by Content Ops when a workflow runs itself, and by the business when the platform stops being a cost center and starts being a force multiplier. The infrastructure is already there. The mandate is already there. What's missing is the people who want to build the thing, not talk about it. Come build it. 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: You'll work on systems that sit at the heart of Tubi's business, where the content pipeline meets the viewer, the creator, and increasingly, the AI agent.

At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive. Our core philosophy is to empower developers to self-serve rather than be bottlenecked by a central quality team. We believe that by creating smart, automated tooling, we can eliminate common roadblocks, making developers happier and more productive. The Rider Quality team is focused on elevating quality, testing, and accessibility across our mobile platforms. We are currently shifting our strategy to heavily leverage automation and AI to revolutionize how we approach testing. We're not doing traditional QA - we're building the future of quality engineering. This is a chance to step into a Senior role where you won't just write code; you'll design systems that define how hundreds of engineers deliver product faster, happier, and with fewer bugs. We are fundamentally shifting away from manual processes and existing automation frameworks that struggle to keep up, betting heavily on Artificial Intelligence and agentic frameworks to drive a massive "shift left" in our organization. Success in this role is measured by tangible impact, including increased developer satisfaction, engineering hours saved, and bugs/incidents avoided in production. We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Senior Software Engineer to join our team. You will be instrumental in building the next generation of our quality assurance platform. You will be responsible for designing and developing advanced AI-powered tooling for test case generation, review, and execution. Your work will directly impact our ability to provide fast, actionable feedback to developers, "shifting left" to ensure quality from the earliest stages of development. You will play a key role in integrating these tools into our existing developer workflows, ensuring seamless adoption and maximum impact. We are looking for someone with a strong background in
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
