Join HubSpot as a Senior Backend Engineer – Empower SMBs to Grow with World-Class Technology
At HubSpot, we're on a mission to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) thrive with our industry-leading CRM, Marketing, Sales, and Services products. As a Senior Backend Engineer on our dynamic product team, you'll have a direct impact on the growth of businesses around the globe, empowering them to serve their customers better.
We prioritize both our customers and our engineers. That's why HubSpot dedicates about 20% of its engineering resources to building tools and platforms specifically designed to make sure you can concentrate on what you love.
We also recognize that flexibility is key to fostering innovation and creativity. With our hybrid work model, you have the freedom to work remotely anywhere in the UK or Ireland, or enjoy in-office collaboration in London or Dublin as often as you’d like as a Flex worker.
In This Role, You’ll Have The Opportunity To
Write and ship impactful production code that directly contributes to both user satisfaction and company growth
Design, build, and evaluate new features and tools that drive revenue and help businesses grow better
Collaborate in a diverse, cross-functional team of engineers, PMs, designers, and researchers, where everyone's input is valued
Work closely with different teams across HubSpot, from product to research, to ensure a seamless experience for our users
Help SMBs achieve their goals through enhancements you’ve brought to life in our products
Gain a deep understanding of how HubSpot functions as a business, positioning yourself for both personal and professional growth
Who You Are
We’re not looking for specific tech stacks – we’re looking for passionate problem solvers who are excited to make an impact. You might be a great fit if you:
Have backend development experience and are comfortable working with Java, MySQL, AWS, DropWizard, Kafka, Kubernetes, or similar technologies (though expertise in specific tools isn’t a deal-breaker)
Are deeply user-focused and empathetic, understanding the challenges our customers face and how they move through our product
Enjoy tackling both technical challenges and business problems, and thrive when you’re close to the action in our go-to-market strategies
Collaborate well with others, take ownership of your work, and are eager to "figure things out" in a supportive, innovative environment
Have demonstrated the ability to solve complex technical problems while weighing tradeoffs, with a deep understanding of developer experience and business needs
Why HubSpot?
Flexibility that works for you: Whether you prefer remote, in-office, or hybrid work, we’ve got you covered.
Inclusive culture: We believe diversity strengthens us. We’re committed to building an inclusive workplace where every perspective is valued.
Career development: At HubSpot, we invest in your growth. You'll have access to mentorship, learning opportunities, and a clear path for career advancement.
Come be a part of a team where your work matters—both to the businesses we serve and your own professional journey.
We know the confidence gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting spectacular candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply — we’d love to hear from you.

At HubSpot, we value both flexibility and connection. Whether you’re a Remote employee, or work from the Office, we want you to start your journey here by building strong connections with your team and peers.
If you are joining our Engineering team in a full-time role, you will be required to attend a regional HubSpot office for in-person onboarding. If you join our broader Product team, you’ll also attend other in-person events such as HubSpot’s annual PEER week, your Product Group Summit, and other in-person gatherings to continue building on those connections.
If you require an accommodation due to travel limitations or other reasons, please inform your recruiter during the hiring process. We are committed to supporting candidates who may need alternative arrangements.
