Solutions Engineer - Corporate Team

We are looking for a Corporate Solutions Engineer to join our Solutions Engineering team. We are looking for someone to join us in our office(s) in Boston, but we’re equally happy for you to join our team as a remote employee (based in the United States).

We are a team of enthusiastic Solutions Engineers working from different offices and remotely across the globe. We support each other and we share our knowledge - within our own team but also across the global Presales organization at HubSpot. We strive to do this in a psychologically safe and inclusive environment where everybody’s opinion is equally valued and heard and where we have some fun along the way :-). As our CTO and Co-founder Dharmesh Shah said during his keynote at INBOUND 2020: "Diverse teams are the best performing teams!".

We are looking for someone who knows how to collaborate well in a team environment, who is sensitive to clients’ needs and who can develop relationships. In this role, you will mostly work with our sales teams but also with many other stakeholders, incl. our Solutions Architect, local sales leadership, our post-sales technical consultants and our regional solutions partners.

Life at HubSpot is certainly busy and it can be a bit hectic sometimes but we respect the boundaries people set for themselves to manage both life and work.
