Principal Software Engineer- Data Platform at Hubspot

This role is designed for a heavyweight technical leader who thrives on building "plumbing at scale." You should have extensive experience managing petabyte-scale data systems and billions of daily transactions. This isn't a hands-off management role; they are looking for a staff or principal-level architect who still enjoys shipping high-leverage code while influencing the technical roadmap for a 180-person organization. The standout feature of this position is the exceptionally high compensation range ($313k - $502k+) and a "Flex" remote policy that prioritizes autonomy over badge swipes. You’ll be at the center of the company's pivot into AI-powered CRM infrastructure, giving you massive internal influence and the opportunity to define reusable architectural patterns for the entire engineering org. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have successfully led the architecture of fault-tolerant, distributed data pipelines and storage layers. * Prefer "building and doing" over just "drawing and delegating"—you ship production-ready software. * Can navigate ambiguity and move between domains like AI/ML, sync systems, and ingestion pipelines with ease. * Experience mentoring other senior engineers and acting as a technical multiplier across multiple teams.
