Description

  • Own the technical direction for HubSpot’s data platforms, with emphasis on the underlying data stores and surrounding systems.
  • Drive architectural decisions across storage, access patterns, scaling models, tenancy, performance, and developer ergonomics.
  • Define the next generation of HubSpot’s database platform rather than only operating the current one.
  • Write production code regularly and lead complex initiatives from idea through rollout.
  • Build internal frameworks, APIs, and platform capabilities that make data stores easier to adopt, extend, and evolve.
  • Turn ambiguous infrastructure problems into simple, scalable systems and clear technical direction.
  • Work across big data, SQL/Vitess, batch processing, stream processing, and search to establish effective platform patterns.
  • Define reusable abstractions for data storage, ingestion, processing, and access that reduce fragmentation across teams.
  • Partner with engineering and product leaders to align infrastructure direction with company needs.
  • Mentor and influence across the engineering organization through design reviews, technical guidance, and principled decision-making.

Requirements

  • Deep experience building and evolving large-scale distributed systems, especially storage systems, data infrastructure, or foundational backend platforms.
  • Strong architectural instincts with a bias toward simplicity, consistency, clear boundaries, and long-term platform leverage.
  • Track record of owning and delivering complex, cross-team technical initiatives with company-level or product-line impact.
  • Comfort working across multiple layers of the stack, from storage engines and data flows to APIs, internal frameworks, and developer experience.
  • Hands-on approach with a willingness to lead by building, debugging, reviewing, and shipping.
  • Ability to move quickly into unfamiliar technical territory, form strong opinions from first principles, and guide long-term decisions.
  • Experience with systems such as HBase, Kafka, Elasticsearch, MySQL/Vitess, Hadoop, Iceberg, or Qdrant is relevant to the role.
  • Experience influencing technical direction beyond a single team is expected for a Principal Engineer.
  • Ability to operate in a role that is deeply hands-on and high leverage.
  • Open to in-person onboarding at a regional HubSpot office for Engineering roles; additional in-person events may be required for broader Product team involvement.

Benefits

  • Annual cash compensation range of $266,200 to $425,900 USD.
  • Some roles are eligible for HubSpot’s equity plan with restricted stock units (RSUs).
  • Eligible roles may receive on-target commission and annual bonus targets.
  • Compensation is tailored to skills, experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
  • Benefits and perks are part of the total compensation package.
  • Flexible work model with remote or office options, plus a focus on connection and collaboration.
  • Support for accommodations or alternative arrangements during the hiring process when needed due to disability or travel limitations.
