Our Mission:

Our mission is to deliver premium sports, news and entertainment programming through a best-in-class user experience that offers greater choice, flexibility and value.

About the role:

• This role is a New York City based HYBRID position. Candidates must be located in NYC, and willing to come into the office on a hybrid basis, three times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday).*

Fubo is seeking a VP of Engineering to lead our Content Intelligence & Discovery organization. This leader will oversee the technical "brain" of our platform, the systems that ingest, model, and intelligently surface content to millions of users.

Reporting to the CTO, you will lead a multi-disciplinary organization that sits at the intersection of high-scale systems engineering and applied machine learning. Your mission is to move beyond baseline heuristics toward sophisticated, high-performance algorithms while maintaining a "you build it, you run it" operational culture.

The teams:

• Search & Personalization: Our engine for user engagement. You will drive the roadmap to improve our ranking models, collaborative filtering, and semantic search. Your success is measured by the tangible improvement of discovery quality and user retention.
• Knowledge Graph: The foundation of our intelligence. This team builds the abstraction layers and semantic models that normalize massive amounts of metadata and real-time sports statistics into a unified, queryable internal graph.
• Video AI (Strategic Collaboration): You will partner closely with our India-based Video AI team to operationalize computer vision and NLP outputs, ensuring AI-driven enrichment is seamlessly integrated into the Knowledge Graph and SNP pipelines.

Tech stack:

• Languages: Go, Python, Scala, TypeScript
• Data Storage & Analytics: BigQuery, BigTable, GCS
• Stream & Batch Processing: Apache Kafka, Google Pub/Sub, Apache Beam (Spotify Scio), Google Dataflow, Apache Airflow
• Search & ML Platform: Elasticsearch, Vertex AI
• Infrastructure & Orchestration: Kubernetes, Redis…
• Frontend (Internal Tooling): React, Vite, Material UI, Streamlit

Key Responsibilities:

• Algorithmic Innovation: Lead the transition to more advanced ML models for discovery. You will be responsible for the "precision and recall" of our systems, ensuring we connect users to the right content in milliseconds.
• AI-Accelerated Engineering: Act as a champion and mentor for the adoption of AI-assisted development (LLMs for coding, automated testing, and documentation). You will help the team integrate these tools into their daily workflows to increase velocity and code quality.
• Full-Cycle Operational Ownership: While you can leverage corporate infrastructure, your teams are responsible for the health of their own services. You will instill a culture of high availability, deep observability, and proactive "ops" management within the engineering teams.
• Systems Architecture: Oversee the design of resilient, low-latency data pipelines and APIs that can handle the massive scale of live-sports metadata and user-activity data.
• Global Execution: Synchronize technical roadmaps between your domestic teams and international partners, ensuring a cohesive strategy for AI-driven metadata enrichment.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• The "Bilingual" Leader: You are a seasoned systems engineer who is also fluent in Data Science. You can audit a Go/JVM-based backend architecture one hour and discuss the nuances of vector embeddings or ranking loss functions the next.
• Operational Rigor: You have experience running high-traffic production systems. You believe that an algorithm is only as good as its uptime and that engineers should be empowered to manage their own production environments.
• Product & Data Obsessed: You don't build for the sake of "cool tech." You are driven by metrics and you know how to translate those product needs into technical requirements.
• Leadership at Scale: You have a track record of scaling engineering organizations, mentoring managers, and fostering a culture of excellence in fast-paced environments.

Perks & Benefits:

• At Fubo, you will have the opportunity to personally influence what live media looks like after it goes through its next big transformation
• Fubo provides a highly competitive compensation based on experience and market standards
• Robust benefit package including Health/Dental/Vision coverage 401k, Life Insurance, and commuter benefits
• Free Premium Fubo Account

Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Fubo''s equity plan, annual cash bonus plans, unlimited PTO, and a full range of medical benefits. The final offer amount will be at the company's sole discretion and determined by multiple factors, including years and depth of experience and expertise, location and other business considerations.
