About the role

At HubSpot, security isn't just a checkbox-it's woven into everything we do.
If you're motivated to strengthen threat detection and response for millions of organizations at scale, you'll find this opportunity exciting!
You will be a trusted technical leader, driving the development of automated detection systems and prioritizing mitigations based on current threats and coverage gaps.

You will support incident response efforts by aiding in investigations, understanding bad actor behaviors, and proactively anticipating future actions.
You will work closely with product managers and legal/privacy partners to ensure incident response standards like NIST and SANS are woven into our lifecycle.
Deep understanding of incident response methodologies and frameworks such as NIST 800-61, SANS, and the ability to lead high-severity CritSits.
As a Principal Software Engineer, you will play a leading role in building strong detection foundations and response frameworks to advance HubSpot's security posture.
You will partner closely with engineering teams to supply data for purple team exercises and implement practical solutions that mitigate risks.
Day-to-day, you'll contribute code to security automations, review designs for detection reliability, and provide technical mentorship to engineers-championing detection-in-depth in everything we do.
Whether you're a Remote employee or work from the Office, we want you to start your journey here by building strong connections with your team and peers.
If you join our broader Product team, you'll also attend other in-person events, such as your Product Group Summit and other gatherings, to continue building on those connections.
Our culture is grounded in four commitments: Solve for the Customer, Be Bold, Learn Fast, Align, Adapt & Go!, and Deliver with HEART.
These commitments shape how we work, lead, and grow.

10-15 years of experience in software development and information security, with a focus on detection engineering, threat intelligence, and incident response.
Proven experience in designing and implementing automated detection systems and managing large-scale security logging infrastructure (e.g., Splunk, SIEM).
Expert knowledge of endpoint and network detection (EDR/SASE), and hands-on experience with tools like CrowdStrike Falcon for investigation and response.
Demonstrated experience in correlating diverse telemetry (identity, cloud, network) to detect post-entry behavior and contain threats quickly.
Experience managing and ingesting Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and mapping actor techniques to standards like STIX/TAXII.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex threat landscapes to both technical and non-technical audiences.
If you are joining our Engineering team, you will be required to attend a regional HubSpot office for in-person onboarding.
