  • 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.

What you get

  • Annual Cash Compensation Range: $266,200 — $425,900 USD
  • Participation in HubSpot’s equity plan to receive restricted stock units (RSUs) for eligible roles.

Worth weighing
