Join HubSpot as a Senior Backend Engineer – Messaging
At HubSpot, we're on a mission to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) thrive with our industry-leading CRM, Marketing, Sales, and Services products. As a Senior Backend Engineer on our dynamic product team, you'll have a direct impact on the growth of businesses around the globe, empowering them to serve their customers better.
We prioritize both our customers and our engineers. That's why HubSpot dedicates about 20% of its engineering resources to building tools and platforms specifically designed to make sure you can concentrate on what you love.
We also recognize that flexibility is key to fostering innovation and creativity. With our hybrid work model, you have the freedom to work remotely anywhere in the UK or Ireland, or enjoy in-office collaboration in London or Dublin as often as you’d like as a Flex worker.
In the HubSpot product suite, the Messaging group feature is part of the broader set of communication tools designed to help businesses engage with their leads and customers effectively. THis covers conversations, live chat and chatbots, integration with our CRM, customization, analytics and reporting.
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Write and ship impactful production code that directly contributes to improving customer experience
- Design, build, and evaluate new features and tools that improve the messaging landscape at HubSpot
- Collaborate in a diverse, cross-functional team of engineers, PMs, designers, and researchers, where everyone's input is valued
- Work closely with different teams across HubSpot, from product to research, to ensure top class experience for our customers and for their customers
- Gain a deep understanding of how HubSpot functions as a business, positioning yourself for both personal and professional growth
Who You Are:
We’re not looking for specific tech stacks – we’re looking for passionate problem solvers who are excited to make an impact. You might be a great fit if you:
- Have backend development experience and are comfortable working with Java, MySQL, AWS, DropWizard, Kafka, Kubernetes, or similar technologies
- Some experience in infrastructure or data security would be great, but isn't a dealbreaker - we'd just love you to have an interest in the area!
- Are deeply user-focused and empathetic, understanding the challenges our customers face and how they move through our product
- Enjoy tackling both technical challenges and business problems, and thrive when you’re close to the action in our go-to-market strategies
- Collaborate well with others, take ownership of your work, and are eager to "figure things out" in a supportive, innovative environment
- Have demonstrated the ability to solve complex technical problems while weighing tradeoffs, with a deep understanding of developer experience and business needs
Why HubSpot?

- Inclusive culture: We believe diversity strengthens us. We’re committed to building an inclusive workplace where every perspective is valued.
- Career development: At HubSpot, we invest in your growth. You'll have access to mentorship, learning opportunities, and a clear path for career advancement.
Come be a part of a team where your work matters—both to the businesses we serve and your own professional journey.
