Staff Software Engineer, Backend, Permissions Team 

We’re seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join a team working on a high-impact mission within the Permissions team at HubSpot. The Permissions team is responsible for building HubSpot’s next generation permissions framework. The flexibility of permissions is a top concern for HubSpot customers today. Additionally, the current system requires every team to consider permissions for new feature launches or even small changes, creating overhead on the entire engineering team. The Permissions team is challenged with building a system that will handle the flexibility needs of our most advanced customers, improving comprehensibility so even our smallest customers understand how to limit access, and eliminating as much overhead on other engineering teams as possible.

You would join a talented set of teams comprising both frontend and backend teams and work with highly effective Product Management and User Experience teams. The team has direct customer impact as well as deep technical problems.

As a Staff Engineer on the Permissions 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.
• Embody our engineering team values 
• 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.
