About the Product Group:

We’re passionate about building tools that help small and medium-sized businesses market, sell, and serve their customers — and ultimately, grow better. The Discovery group is on mission to help millions of customers find the right resource at the right time across the HubSpot ecosystem. Be part of our mission to develop indispensable tools like Navigation, Notifications, and Global Search, which are embraced by virtually every HubSpot user. As a valued team member, you'll have a direct impact on enhancing user experience and shaping the future of HubSpot.

About the team:

Our Global Search frontend team owns the search product which is a one stop solution for searching the entire platform. This is a critical piece of infrastructure which integrates with all of our products and returns results within milliseconds.  

The team is looking for a hands-on Tech Lead II who wants to solve hard technical problems and help grow the careers of the engineers on the team. 

Teams in HubSpot are kept small and nimble to maximize ownership and to eliminate scale challenges and communication overhead (e.g. very few meetings that could have been a Slack message!). 

Our frontend tech stack is React, Typescript ,ES6,  AWS among others, but regardless of your background, we hire great engineers who love to learn. 

Our product teams are split-stack and can build whatever is needed without external dependencies or approval. This process is informed by many feedback loops: usability testing, direct customer interactions, usage tracking, customer support and other stakeholders, so the team decides what ideas to build, how best to implement them and own their ongoing operation. Check out our engineering blog to see why HubSpot is different.

As a Technical Lead II on the Global Search team, you will:

• Lead a team of engineers where autonomy and flexibility are core values.
• Write and ship production code that has meaningful user and business impact.
• Work with a small cross functional team of engineers, PMs, systems analysts, 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.

What we’d like to see:

• Some previous technical lead experience is preferred - managing engineers and taking responsibility for the team’s software design and delivery.
• Professional industry experience, ideally with JavaScript and React, or similar frameworks.
• Experience building scalable and performant web applications.
• Experience in building and debugging performant user interfaces.
• A continued passion to contribute to the code base and for product feature development and product innovation.
• A strong focus on the user: you can gain empathy for their challenges and understand how they may flow through our product.
• Excitement about big, technical challenges, but also a passion for helping scale our business.
• Coaching and mentorship experience.
