Staff Software Engineer, Backend - Engage

We’re looking to add a Staff Engineer to the Engage product group.

Staff Software Engineers are highly productive, impactful, and trusted engineers who leverage their skills and knowledge to work autonomously on the most complex projects and set technical direction. Very complex problems can include those that are very broad, very deep, or problems that require spanning across many teams. 

The Engage group accelerates HubSpot’s Flywheel by creating simplicity for our Marketing, Sales, and Ops users. We embrace a self-service approach and develop innovative solutions leveraging generative AI tools. While we collaborate with data science, automation, and machine learning teams, you will be expected to integrate machine learning thinking into your work as a Staff Software Engineer. A example could be building agents or assistants to help HubSpot Reps be more successful.

By joining our team you’ll develop expertise across a wide variety of the HubSpot product suite, technologies, and problem spaces, and see the connection of your work to the engine that drives HubSpot!

As a Staff Software Engineer on Engage, you will:

• Write and ship production code that has meaningful user and business impact

• Envision, build and analyze new features and tools, each contributing to company growth and revenue

• Work with a small cross-functional team of engineers, PMs, designers, content designers, and researchers

• Collaborate with HubSpotters all over the company, whether in engineering, product, design, research, marketing, sales, etc

• Help HubSpot users meet their goals, via changes you’ve made

• Implement experiments that give us valuable insights into user behavior and how to improve their experience

• Get exposure to how HubSpot works as a business

• Be empowered to show up as your authentic self and choose a work style and location where you can do your best work, whether that’s at home, in an office, or a blend of the two

We’re not just looking for engineers with many years of experience. Instead we’re looking for engineers who also have a track record of unique excellence, leadership, and levelling up those around them.

We work with Java primarily, but experience with specific technologies is secondary to strong programming fundamentals. Check out our engineering blog to learn more.

What we’d like to see:

• A passion for clean, scalable code and for product feature development and product innovation.

• Experience working closely with, and contributing ideas and feedback to, product management and designers to help create a solution to exceed our customer's needs.

• You not only get excited about big, technical challenges, but also about being very close to the business and our go-to-market strategies. You have experience working with Go To Market teams, internal product teams, business process automation, and/or customized CRM implementations.

• You have or are interested in developing data analysis skills. You’re not afraid to dive into Amplitude, Looker, Excel or other data analysis tools and collaborate with our ops and analytics teams.

• The ability to work collaboratively with the team to solve problems, transfer knowledge, and develop overall product architecture.

• Coaching and mentorship experience.

• A track record in partnering successfully with recruiting to build remarkable engineering teams.
