What Is Employee Growth Rate & Why Is It Important?

The HubSpot Product team is made up of over 1,000 engineers, designers, product managers, and researchers. We’re passionate about building tools that help small and medium-sized businesses market, sell, and serve their customers — and ultimately, grow better.

The Trust & Safety Pillar lives within the Product Security and Privacy group and is responsible for detecting, preventing, and mitigating abuse and misuse within the entirety of the HubSpot platform.  As an engineering leader within this pillar, you will work with stakeholders in other product groups to ensure their features are being built to minimize risk and to mitigate abuse potential.  You will do this while ensuring that our good users still have the delightful experience they have come to know and love in the HubSpot product.  Your teams will build the platform features to support this safe product usage and build the internal tooling for our abuse operations teams to mitigate abusive situations.

The role requires a very wide view of everything that the HubSpot platform is capable of doing.  Not only do you need to be an expert in your own domain of abuse prevention, but you also need to fully understand other team’s product feature areas so you can provide the right levels and types of protection for their needs.  A lead in this role will be expected to partner with the other product teams in a way that establishes trust with them and allows them to continue to roll out and support their new product features.

As an engineering leader at HubSpot, you’ll do many things — many of which you likely already have experience executing. For this position, we are looking for:

• A bias for fixing problems with technology rather than process.
• Passion for building reliable systems.
• Passion for fostering performing collaborative teams.
• Someone who never accepts the status quo; we need engineers who can see beyond what we have, and towards what we can build, while maintaining an understanding about how to get there.
• Proven ability to solve complicated technical problems and analyze trade offs with empathy for developers and customers alike.
• Ability to demonstrate pragmatic decision making and problem-solving abilities.

At HubSpot, engineering leaders play to their strengths, but are aligned with HubSpot’s mission and show the leadership qualities that we’ve found to be most effective:

• They build trust, respect, and empathy, and use that as a base to deliver radical candor with HEART
• They foster an inclusive team and sense of mission.
• They have strong working relationships across the organization, from the tech leads and the individual contributors who report to them, to the product managers and designers their reports work with, to their peers & the executive team.
• They understand our customer and business needs.
• They understand how we build and why.
• They represent our mission, culture, and commitment to DI&B to candidates.
• They get team members and candidates excited to take on new challenges.

If you’re an engineering leader of any level or experience, and if this resonates with you, let’s talk.
