Type: Full-time
This role is designed for a seasoned Java expert who has moved into a "player-coach" leadership position. It’s ideal for an engineer who doesn't just want to build data tools, but wants to own the entire product roadmap for internal infrastructure. You should have a deep background in distributed systems—specifically within the Spark, Hadoop, and Kubernetes ecosystems—and experience managing a small team of 3–5 engineers in a fast-paced environment. The compensation package is standout, offering a total cash range of **$200,600 – $321,000 USD** plus RSU equity, which is highly competitive for a fully remote U.S. role. Beyond the pay, this is a "high-leverage" position; your work on the Iceberg lakehouse and Kubernetes control plane will directly impact how hundreds of other engineers process petabytes of data, offering massive organizational visibility and technical scale. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Are a Java pro who is equally comfortable writing code and mentoring a small team. * Have hands-on experience scaling data platforms using Spark, Iceberg, or Hadoop on AWS. * View infrastructure as a product and enjoy "solving for the customer" (in this case, other developers). * Thrive in a remote-first culture that values autonomy, "learning fast," and high-trust ownership.

HubSpot is seeking a Technical Lead II to join the Data Infrastructure—Batch Processing Team.
### About the team
The Batch Processing Team makes processing large datasets at HubSpot unified, fast, and easy. We provide a suite of tools, platforms, and processes based on Spark, Hadoop, and Iceberg.
Our platform supports thousands of processing jobs daily across hundreds of Spark and Hadoop clusters, processing a petabyte of customer data per day. We deliver this platform on AWS through a Kubernetes control plane across multiple data centers and regions. Through supporting tools and libraries, we enable teams across the engineering organization by defining, developing, and advocating for best practices that help them process data effectively, reliably, and with high performance.
Typical projects include developing tools and client libraries, as well as implementing core orchestration and deployment functionality within our suite of Kubernetes operators. This past year, we introduced an Iceberg lakehouse platform that's driving substantial improvements in interoperability and cost savings as new ML and AI workloads ramp up.
### What we're looking for
This role offers a unique opportunity to work at scale on a team pushing the boundaries of a business-critical system. As an engineer, you'll design and solve problems in large, distributed systems and develop software in Java. As a technical lead, you'll own the roadmap and strategy for these platforms, balance competing demands across a portfolio of technologies, and craft the platform into a true product that provides leverage for hundreds of engineers at HubSpot.
