- *POS-12191**
We are looking for a Backend Tech Lead to join the App Foundations team. This is a high priority role where you will lead a small team of engineers responsible for the packaging and distribution container for every integration across the entire HubSpot ecosystem. You will be moving the needle from a code-only extension model to a future where agents and natural language can personalize and extend the HubSpot product.
### In this role, you will:
- Lead by example: Serve as a "Player-Coach," balancing technical mentorship for a small team of engineers with high-level system design and hands-on execution.
- Architect the future: Own the data model and packaging systems that allow first and third-party extensions to plug into HubSpot's platform.
- Solve complex systems problems: Reason through "before and after" architectural shifts that impact a wide surface area of the HubSpot product.
- Drive AI-readiness: Build the underlying structures and guardrails that enable AI agents to reason about and build extensions and integrations on behalf of users.
- Collaborate broadly: Partner with teams across the business to ensure that our platform decisions enable success for our global customer and developer community.
- Technical Leadership experience: Ideally, you have previously served as a Tech Lead or lead engineer in past roles.
- Expertise in System Design: You have a proven ability to design and scale complex distributed systems.
- Proficiency in our stack: Strong experience with Java and MySQL, and hands-on use of agent-assisted coding tools will enable candidates to hit the ground running.
- Integration domain knowledge: Experience working on integration platform problems, extensibility frameworks, or developer platforms (either internally or externally facing).
- A Collaborative mindset: You enjoy working cross-functionally and understand that your technical decisions affect thousands of other developers.
The App Foundations team is part of a cohesive "pod" in our Cambridge office. You will join a larger group of long-tenured engineers who value in-person collaboration and mentorship. While HubSpot is remote-friendly, this specific team maintains a hybrid presence in Cambridge to foster deep technical culture and brainstorming. We are happy to relocate the right candidate to join us in person.
