Lead Engineer, CRM Backend

About the team

The HubSpot CRM is an ambitious and complex platform. Backend teams work collaboratively with their frontend teams to understand customer problems and build productized solutions to work across web and mobile clients. We don’t have any dedicated QA or DevOps teams - this is by design.  Our engineering teams take full responsibility - for writing, building and deploying to production - quality code, with automated testing and monitoring.  HubSpot has a world-class developer tooling and infrastructure platform to make this process seamless, allowing us to deploy to production on average 5,000 times per day.

We’re looking for individuals that:

Design, scope, and deliver solutions to help our customers manage and grow their businesses
Manage a small team of engineers while still making significant individual contributions
Foster an environment that encourages autonomy and psychological safety
Enjoy mentoring, coaching and delivering feedback to other team members in a psychologically safe way, while also being open to learning from them as well
Are strong engineers interested in writing in the Java ecosystem
Understand that their job is not about implementing pre-written requirements, but collaboratively figuring out exactly what is required to add value to our customers and their businesses, and owning the end-to-end solution
Consistently work to deliver reliable, performant, well-tested code
Have a thirst for technical challenges with big data and distributed systems at a massive scale,  leveraging, including technologies such as HBase, Kafka, Hadoop, Elasticsearch, GraphQL and Dropwizard
Demonstrate pragmatic decision making and problem-solving abilities
Have a customer-centric attitude and develop opinions about the HubSpot product
Understand the value of building a diverse team, and are champions and upstanders for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging initiatives.
