Requirements

• Deep experience building and evolving large-scale distributed systems, particularly in CI/CD, build infrastructure, release engineering, or foundational backend platforms.
• Strong architectural instincts with a bias toward simplicity, clarity, and long-term platform leverage — and a healthy skepticism toward complexity that isn't earned.
• Experience operating at hyperscaler or platform-provider scale.
• A track record of owning and delivering complex, cross-team technical initiatives with org-wide or company-level impact.
• A hands-on mindset. You lead by building, debugging, reviewing, and shipping — not by staying removed from the systems you influence.
• The ability to move into unfamiliar technical territory quickly, form strong opinions grounded in first principles, and help teams make better long-term decisions.

Key Expectations

• Own the future of HubSpot's release engineering platform.
• Be a deeply hands-on, high-leverage builder.
• Rethink testing and delivery infrastructure for a new era.
• Influence across the broader engineering org.

What You'll Be Doing

• Shape the technical direction for the build, test, and deploy systems that underpin how HubSpot ships software.
• Drive architectural decisions across pipeline design, test infrastructure, deployment orchestration, and developer ergonomics.
• Help define what the next generation of HubSpot's delivery platform should look like — not just how to operate the current one.
• Write production code regularly and lead complex initiatives from idea to rollout.
• Design and implement AI-powered QA agents that run on every deploy, reducing risk and increasing confidence in continuous delivery.
• Turn ambiguous infrastructure problems into simple, scalable systems and clear technical direction.
• Challenge 10-year-old assumptions about build systems and deployment pipelines given what's actually possible today.
• Rethink testing infrastructure for a world where software behavior is increasingly non-deterministic.
• Drive the roadmap toward 500+ deploys per minute, identifying and eliminating bottlenecks across the delivery pipeline.
• Partner with engineering leaders to align release engineering direction with what HubSpot needs to build next.
• Work horizontally across teams to guide technical tradeoffs, rationalize configuration and change management across concurrent teams, and raise the architectural bar for platform work.
• Act as a multiplier through design reviews, technical mentoring, and principled decision-making on the most critical systems in the space.
