redefine the live event experience on a global scale. 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. StubHub is hiring an
Engineering Manager to lead a high-impact team responsible for
building the data systems that power personalized marketing and
retention experiences for millions of fans. This is a technical
leadership role focused on driving business and customer outcomes
through operational rigor, data-informed decisions, and strong
people management. You'll be expected to deliver high-quality
results, build a high-performing team, and raise the bar across
engineering, execution, and impact. Location: Hybrid (3 days in

Team: The Push team builds the intelligence and systems behind
StubHub's lifecycle marketing engine, encompassing email, push, and
app notifications. We focus on making every fan interaction
relevant, timely, and effective in driving repeat engagement. Our
work sits at the intersection of data science, personalization,
marketing technology, and software engineering. The challenge:
retain attention in a noisy digital world by creating messaging
that resonates emotionally and delivers value, not just promotion.
Our solutions rely on real-time targeting, campaign
decision-making, and experimentation at scale. Why This Role

cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to influence

lifetime value. If you like solving hard technical problems with
measurable impact and enjoy blending product, data, and
engineering, this is the team for you. What You'll Do: Drive
measurable impact: Identify high-leverage problems, set clear
goals, and deliver solutions that produce quantifiable business and
customer value. Lead through execution: Own team delivery with
precision—ensure commitments are met, blockers are resolved
quickly, and progress is visible and tracked. Raise the bar on
talent density: Hire exceptional engineers, actively coach
performance, and make principled decisions to retain only those
operating at a high level. Promote data-driven decisions: Use data
and metrics to guide priorities, evaluate solutions, and
continuously improve how your team operates. Own technical quality:
Champion system design, code quality, reliability, and long-term
maintainability across your domain. Foster team health: Build a
psychologically safe, inclusive team culture grounded in feedback,
autonomy, and shared accountability. Partner across the business:
Collaborate with Product, Design, and Data to align on priorities,
coordinate dependencies, and deliver business-critical initiatives.
What Success Looks Like: Meaningful improvements in customer-facing
metrics (e.g., performance, reliability, relevance). On-time,
high-quality delivery of initiatives tied to company objectives.
Clear evidence of team growth, engagement, and performance.
Demonstrated improvement in team operational metrics (e.g.,
velocity, quality, incident reduction). A strong pipeline of
internal talent and a team that continuously improves its
impact-per-head over time. What We're Looking For: 7 years of
engineering experience, including technical ownership of production
systems and business-critical software. 2 years of people
leadership experience, with a track record of hiring and developing
high-performing teams. Strong technical background in backend,
infrastructure, APIs, or data systems (Java, C++, Python, or
similar). Proven ability to drive execution, define clear success
metrics, and solve complex problems with data and rigor. Skilled in
managing ambiguity, prioritizing ruthlessly, and delivering under
tight timelines. Comfortable giving and receiving candid feedback,
and modeling it for others. What We Offer: Accelerated Growth

tests on a massive scale. Top Tier Compensation Package :
