Principal Solutions Engineer

We are looking for a Principal Solutions Engineer to join our NAM Corporate Solutions Engineering team. 

We’re a global team of Solutions Engineers united by a shared mission: to solve for the customer. We push boundaries, learn quickly, and move with purpose — aligning, adapting, and growing together. Ours is a space built on trust and psychological safety, where diverse perspectives spark innovation and everyone has room to contribute, experiment, and thrive. Together, we grow, and celebrate what makes each of us — and our customers — unique.

We are looking for someone who knows how to collaborate well in a team environment, who is sensitive to clients’ needs and who can develop and manage relationships. In this role, you will mostly work with our sales teams but also with many other stakeholders, including our Services Consultants, local Sales Leadership, Security, Product, Deal Desk and our regional Solutions Partners.

Life at HubSpot is certainly busy and it can be a bit hectic sometimes but we respect the boundaries people set for themselves to manage both life and work.
