We’re looking to add a Staff Engineer to the Global Search product group. Staff Software Engineers are highly productive, impactful, and trusted engineers who leverage their skills and knowledge to work autonomously on the most complex projects and set technical direction. Very complex problems can include those that are very broad, very deep, or problems that require spanning across many teams. 

Global Search team owns the search that powers HubSpot, letting customers search across many different data sources. The product usually handles high traffic and is universally accessible from the navigation bar for every customer. Our team deals with extremely large amounts of data and has built a robust ingestion infrastructure to deliver the most relevant results. There are plenty of challenging engineering problems in this space, plus a lot of opportunities to use AI to make search even smarter and more personalized than ever before.

As a Staff Software Engineer on Global Search, you will:

  • Write and ship production code that has meaningful user and business impact
  • Envision, build and analyze new features and tools, each contributing to company growth and revenue
  • Work with a small cross-functional team of engineers, PMs, designers, content designers, and researchers
  • Collaborate with HubSpotters all over the company, whether in engineering, product, design, research, marketing, sales, etc
  • Help HubSpot users meet their goals, via changes you’ve made
  • Implement experiments that give us valuable insights into user behavior and how to improve their experience
  • Get exposure to how HubSpot works as a business
  • Be empowered to show up as your authentic self and choose a work style and location where you can do your best work, whether that’s at home, in an office, or a blend of the two

We’re not just looking for engineers with many years of experience. Instead we’re looking for engineers who also have a track record of unique excellence, leadership, and leveling up those around them.

We work with Java primarily, but experience with specific technologies is secondary to strong programming fundamentals. Check out our engineering blog to learn more.

What we’d like to see:

  • A passion for clean, scalable code and for product feature development and product innovation.
  • Experience working closely with, and contributing ideas and feedback to, product management and designers to help create a solution to exceed our customer's needs.
  • You not only get excited about big, technical challenges, but also about being very close to the business and our go-to-market strategies.
  • You have or are interested in developing data analysis skills. You’re not afraid to dive into Amplitude, Looker, Excel or other data analysis tools and collaborate with our ops and analytics teams.
  • The ability to work collaboratively with the team to solve problems, transfer knowledge, and develop overall product architecture.
  • Coaching and mentorship experience.
  • A track record in partnering successfully with recruiting to build remarkable engineering teams.
