Senior Engineering Manager, Release Engineering (Remote within Ireland)

POS-23650 The HubSpot Product team is composed of over 1,800 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. We’re also proud of how we treat our employees, and have the awards to show for it. We are building a company future generations can be proud of, where everyone is welcome and where you can be yourself . On the HubSpot Engineering team , work is owned and developed by small, autonomous, cross-functional teams. You and your teams will work together to create goals, set timelines, build software, test with users, and celebrate wins. As an engineering leader, you'll help us solve the challenges that come from working at scale, grow teams and individuals who work alongside you, and share your passion and expertise about improving the reliability and uptime of the product you own. We favor forward-thinking engineering leaders who can identify and remediate problems before they happen, and understand how to build platforms that are intuitive to use, highly performant, and extremely reliable. The Release Engineering group empowers HubSpot engineers to build, test, and deploy their code at scale. They are responsible for 500-600k builds per day including 60k QA deployments per day. Our goals are to optimize and accelerate release engineering at HubSpot, progressing towards continuous deployment directly to production while maintaining high standards for monitoring and incident management. Due to continued growth and investment, we’re looking to hire an experienced engineering leader who will be responsible for 6-7 small teams, including being a manager of managers. You don’t need to be a CI/CD expert to be successful in this role, but infrastructure domain knowledge would be an advantage. Important note: Engineering leaders at HubSpot spend their first ~6 months embedding as a software engineer on the teams that they will be responsible for, and also for 1-2 weeks re-embedding each year. During this time, they will be actively coding, and staying hands-on technically is a key expectation for the role. There will be a 'take at home' coding assessment as part of the interview process.
