Staff Software Engineer, Backend
As a Staff Engineer you will play a leading role on a team of 3-5 engineers. We are looking, first and foremost, for a skilled, passionate and empathetic engineer who thrives on building large-scale, highly performant distributed systems in a collaborative manner. You will be spending most of your time (~90%) on hands-on technical contributions, but also provide technical leadership to your team. That includes guiding design, development, and operations of systems and system components, as well as technical mentorship and coaching for growth.
Teams in HubSpot are kept small and nimble to maximize ownership and to eliminate scale challenges and communication overhead (e.g., very few meetings that could have been a Slack message!).
For this position, we are looking for:
- An experienced Software Engineer with a proven track record of designing and delivering complex, performant, reliable and scalable distributed systems and/or infrastructure in a Cloud environment (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Experience with CDNs (e.g., Cloudflare, CloudFront) and Load Balancers (e.g., NGINX, Envoy) is a plus.
- Proficiency in Java, C#, Go, C++, or Rust, with Java preferred.
- A player/coach with excellent communication skills and prior experience mentoring others.
- An understanding of how to foster Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
- The ability to translate business requirements into technical deliverables. Experience in building company internal platforms and collaborating with feature teams is a plus.
Our tech stack is Java but regardless of your background, we hire great engineers who love to learn. If you’re a hands-on engineering leader and if this resonates with you, let’s talk.
