Staff Software Engineer - Backend

Staff Engineer Infrastructure Edge

HubSpot is on a mission to help millions of organizations grow better. The Infrastructure Edge team is looking for a Staff Engineer to support a critical part of that mission. Infra Edge is responsible for developing and operating HubSpot’s load balancing and CDN infrastructure. Our systems are used by ~200 internal engineering teams and serve billions of requests from over 200000 customers in more than 100 countries daily. The performance reliability scalability and cost-effectiveness of this infrastructure are paramount to HubSpot’s continued success and the success of our customers.

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.
