HubSpot is a great place to work with a great culture of getting things done and delighting our customers. HubSpot loves investing in Engineering as a way to build a world-class product.
On the front-end, we use technologies like CoffeeScript and React to create a wonderful experience for our users interacting with the system.
On the back-end, we use technologies like HBase, Kafka, MySQL, Elasticsearch, ZooKeeper, and Dropwizard. If you haven't looked at Dropwizard, it's actually a really nice way to develop web services in Java: you can annotate paths like you would do in Python and Flask and just return a Java object that will be serialised into JSON for you by Jackson.
Engineering is organised into small teams (usually around 3 people) where you can have a big impact on the product. We deploy hundreds of times per day and use GitHub Enterprise for SCM, Jenkins to build, and an internally developed open-source system built on top of Mesos called Singularity to deploy app instance containers. Your changes won't be languishing in git waiting for a major release. Because deploys are so painless, we're able to deploy small changes.
If Google's catch-phrase is "Don't be evil" ours is "use good judgement". Check out our Culture Code for more information: http://www.culturecode.com. Also take a look at our 2014 Year in Review if you're interested: http://hubs.ly/y0zbyd0.
Work schedules are flexible, though most engineers get in around 10am. You get to make a meaningful difference in a product with loads of paying customers and a ton of traffic. Best of all, you get to work with loads of smart and fun people. That's the best thing about HubSpot: the people are great people that you can rely on, learn from, and have a great time getting things done with.
