Staff Software Engineer, Backend, AI Platform Group

Engineering

Remote - USA

We’re seeking a Staff level Software Engineer to join a team working on a high-impact mission within the AI Platform Foundations Group at HubSpot. The AI Platform Group is part of the AI Product Line at HubSpot with a mission of empowering HubSpot’s customers with AI. We are working to provide the building blocks for HubSpots Product & Engineering teams to adopt AI throughout the HubSpot product suite.

This engineer will join the Generative AI Platform team. This team owns the GenerativeAI Library service and is building out our AI Agent Framework. AI Agents are our #1 bet for 2024 and so creating a reliable, easy-to-use and scalable framework is our top priority.

As a Staff Engineer on the Generative AI Platform team at HubSpot, you’ll do many things— and you likely already have experience doing some of them in the past. We are looking for people who:

• Have a long track record of experience delivering high-value, high-impact, cross-team projects. Staff Engineers are one of the most senior individual contributors at HubSpot; they are leaders that continually strive to raise the bar for the engineering organization as a whole, and are expected to help drive the product vision forward via strong collaboration skills and hands-on coding.
• Have a thirst for technical challenges implemented within secure, compliant systems. We leverage technologies such as Java, HBase, Vitess, Kafka, GraphQL and Dropwizard. We’re not necessarily looking for someone who is an expert in a specific technology, but someone who is well-versed in engineering principles and eager to leverage them when running toward the problems that we face.
• Wish to stay hands-on in all technical aspects while leading by example through collaborations with cross-functional and internal stakeholders.
• Have a history of developing solutions to problems that have had an outsized impact on a large organization’s business goals.
• Provide strategic direction for major projects.
• Regularly mentor and teach engineers in their areas of expertise.
• Demonstrate pragmatic decision-making and problem-solving abilities.
• Exhibit an enthusiasm for building reliable, scalable systems.
• Can guide teams beyond the status quo; we need engineers who lead us beyond what we have, and towards what we can build, while building a shared notion of how to get there.
• Familiarity with Generative AI applications (such as LLMs, Agents, Image Generation) and experiencing working as part of a platform team; bonus points for experience developing AI Agents.
• Embodies our engineering team values
