About the team

The HBase team at HubSpot supports our highest throughput database systems. We manage hundreds of HBase clusters that handle more than 25 million requests per second during our daily peak traffic. Our mission is not only to keep HBase online but also to keep it fast, cost-effective, and easy for product teams to build scalable systems on top of it.

We build automation to detect and isolate bad hardware, improve HBase table configurations based on workloads, manage rolling version upgrades, and recover from a wide variety of disaster scenarios. We also provide tailored consultation to the numerous product teams who use HBase. Finally, we are active contributors to the open-source project, Apache HBase.

We’re seeking talented software engineers to help us realize our vision of making HBase usage simple, intuitive, fast, cost-effective, and highly reliable for both our customers and HubSpot product developers.

• Experience as a power user or operator of HBase (or another, similar database technology).
• Motivation to increase HubSpot developer velocity and product reliability.
• Interest in working with and supporting infrastructure at scale.
• A proven ability to solve complex technical problems, devise creative solutions, and analyze trade-offs with empathy for our developers.
