674313

At HubSpot, we have been on an incredible journey building world-class CRM, Marketing, Sales, and Services products that help small and medium-size businesses grow.

More and more of HubSpot's customers start their journey as free users, rather than starting by speaking to a sales rep. We are excited to accelerate this freemium business with our Growth Product Group.

The Growth Product Group is an influential team with a big mission. We want to help millions of organisations around the world grow by empowering people to discover, adopt, and buy HubSpot’s products the way they want to. To achieve this, we focus on acquisition, onboarding, retention, and monetisation across the entire HubSpot product platform. 

As Tech Lead on Growth Data, you will:

• Lead a team of engineers where autonomy and flexibility are core values

• Help build the collection & processing pipeline for HubSpot’s tens of millions of daily usage-data events

• Creating intuitive and helpful internal tools for HubSpotters to use when creating experiments, analysing data, configuring data preferences to bring the most valuable experience to customers

• Help engineering low-latency customer-facing experimentation APIs

• Enable HubSpot team into applying data-informed strategies when building features for the customer through Growth Data provided toolkit (experiments, analysis, insights)

• 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 behaviour and how to improve their experience

You may be a fit if:

• Some previous team, technical or pod lead experience is preferred - managing engineers or projects and taking responsibility for the team’s software design and delivery

• Comfort performing code reviews for engineers at all levels

• Coaching and mentorship experience

• You have backend development experience. We work with Java, MySQL, AWS, DropWizard, Kafka and Kubernetes primarily, but experience with specific technologies is secondary to understanding programming fundamentals.

• 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. 

• You are interested in becoming a master of the experimentation process and A/B tests. 

• You have a strong focus on the user. You can gain empathy for their challenges and understand how they may flow through our product. 

• You not only get excited about big, technical challenges but also about being very close to the business and our go-to-market strategies
