Director, Software Engineering, Web & OTT Experiences
Tubi
Arun Shankar leads the 30-plus-engineer Web and OTT App Experiences group at Tubi, steering the end-to-end client experience across web, mobile, and more than 20 connected-TV platforms that serve 97 million global viewers.
He architected the multi-CDN strategy that streamed Super Bowl LIX to a record 15.5 million concurrent users without a hitch, modernised Tubi’s OTT stack from server-side rendering to a fully static, Kubernetes-powered delivery model, and instituted GitHub Actions + ArgoCD pipelines for rapid, zero-downtime releases.
Arun’s teams own critical surfaces—including linear-channel UI, home-screen personalisation, semantic search, and title-details pages—and drive international roll-outs while preserving pixel-perfect consistency.
A champion of data-driven iteration, he oversees 50+ user-facing experiments a year to continually raise engagement and streaming quality. Earlier in his career, Arun scaled ML infrastructure at Layer and co-founded interactive-video startup Fuisz. He holds an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Southern California.
