What You’ll Do

Design and build backend services using Java and other JVM languages (Kotlin, Scala, Clojure also transferable).

Work across distributed systems and microservices, contributing to APIs, data pipelines, and event-driven architectures.

Collaborate in small, autonomous teams (3–6 engineers, PM, and designer) to ship code quickly — often the same day.

Solve complex technical problems independently: break down ambiguous requirements, design tractable solutions, and deliver them end-to-end.

Own reliability and quality by resolving production issues, participating in on-call rotations, and advocating for scalable, fault-tolerant systems.

Mentor teammates through code reviews, design discussions, and sharing best practices.

Contribute to team culture by embodying HubSpot’s HEART values (Humble, Empathetic, Adaptable, Remarkable, Transparent) and supporting DEI&B in hiring and onboarding.

What We’re Looking For

Strong backend development experience in Java (or other JVM language) and comfort with distributed systems, REST APIs, and microservices.

Experience with databases (MySQL, NoSQL, Elasticsearch, Kafka, or similar technologies).

Ability to work independently with minimal oversight while providing proactive updates.

Demonstrated ownership of projects, from design through deployment and reliability.

Strong collaboration and communication skills in a fast-moving environment.

Growing in This Role

Expanding into broader system design and architecture.

Mastering reliability, performance, and scalability of large-scale backend systems.

Increasing mentorship and influence across adjacent teams.

Taking on more product ownership, partnering with your Tech Lead, PM, and Designer.

Serving as the technical lead on larger projects.

Career Paths

Technical Lead (TL): Owning the technical direction and mentoring engineers on your team.

Senior Software Engineer II: Expanding influence beyond your team with larger, more complex projects, mentoring across teams, and leading technical initiatives.
