The HubSpot Schemas Backend team manages the schema definition and validation systems that ensure data consistency across HubSpot's event-driven architecture and various data processing pipelines. They provide the backend infrastructure for schema management, including schema reviews for new object and event types, and validation of data structures across the platform. Their work ensures that data flowing through HubSpot's systems maintains proper structure and compatibility, supporting both internal development teams and customer-facing features that depend on reliable data schemas.

HubSpot has thousands of microservices,  primarily written in Java, and works with highly distributed systems that leverage and push on open source technologies such as HBase, Kafka, Spark, Memcached, MySQL, and ElasticSearch. These systems let our users store, automate, report on, and interact with their customers at scale.

Expectations for Technical Lead IIs:

• A Tech Lead II is a player-coach responsible for leading a small team. 

• They are recognized as high-performing engineers.

• They work across teams with other TLs to resolve cross-team issues.

• They proactively take ownership over their team’s on-call health and product reliability, and quality.

• They have an interest and opinion in the direction of the product.  They do not defer this over to the PM or PD, or others.  Instead, they are an active member of the team’s leadership triad,  co-setting the direction for the team.

• They proactively look to grow the members of their team to enable them to take on harder and harder tasks.  

• They are actively cultivating Software Engineers into Sr. Software Engineers and Sr. Software Engineers into future TLs and Staff Engineers, etc.
