About the position

At HubSpot, we are on an incredible journey building world-class Marketing, Sales, and Services products that help small and medium-sized businesses grow. The CRM product group is responsible for the core functionality that powers how over 100,000 HubSpot customers manage their businesses. Our teams work on the core interactions for the highest traffic pages within the HubSpot application while also providing a platform to other HubSpot product groups. Our goal is to enable our customers to use HubSpot as their single source of truth, powering the processes that will grow their businesses. We believe in solving for the customer first, and that if our customers are successful, we will be successful. 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 developers 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 are looking for individuals who are strong Java engineers utilizing Java as their daily driver. You will take ownership of the end-to-end solution, work collaboratively, and figure things out. Your job will not be about implementing pre-written requirements, but figuring out exactly what is required to add value to our customers and their businesses. You will consistently work to deliver reliable, performant, well-tested code and have a thirst for technical challenges with big data and distributed systems at a massive scale, leveraging technologies such as HBase, Kafka, Hadoop, Elasticsearch, GraphQL, and Dropwizard. We value pragmatic decision-making and problem-solving abilities, a customer-centric attitude, and a commitment to building a diverse team, championing Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging initiatives.
