Welcome to Huble 👋, a HubSpot’s 2024 global partner of the year!

We are a global HubSpot, AI, marketing & creative consultancy enabling mid-market and enterprise businesses move faster, adapt smarter, and innovate freely—by building their business around HubSpot’s CRM. We believe in striking a balance between professionalism and being human.

As a Back-End Developer, your primary role involves developing web applications, web pages, website modules, and landing pages. A key aspect of your responsibilities will be creating integrations between the HubSpot platform and various SaaS platforms.

We advocate for the reuse of code and maintain an internal program to collect reusable HubSpot modules. Any modules you develop are expected to be designed for reusability whenever feasible.

This role does not involve direct client interaction, though you may occasionally need to participate in client meetings as a technical expert.

1) Quality, efficiency and effectiveness of code produced

• Maintain web applications, implement new features, and resolve bugs.

• Participate in daily development standup meetings.
• Provide technical solutions to meet client requirements efficiently.
• Develop integration solutions based on client needs.

• 3-5 years of HTML5 expertise, focusing on semantic and efficient code.
• 2-4 years of JavaScript skills for advanced web functionality.
• 1-2 years of Node.js experience in developing scalable back-end services.
• 1-2 years of React familiarity to support front-end tasks (advantageous).
• 1-2 years of experience with iPaaS solutions for cloud and on-premise integrations.
• Familiarity with Hubspot CMS.

⚡️These personal qualities are key to your success

• Strong organizational and time management skills to meet deadlines and maintain quality standards.
• Excellent communication abilities with clients, team members, and senior management.
• Timely escalation of issues to management to prevent escalation.
• Proactive improvement of web technology knowledge and sharing with the team.
• Ability to take initiative and work independently while collaborating with the team.
