Senior Backend Developer

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Backend Developer to be Huble's dedicated technical resource for the US pod, reporting to the Head of Back End Development. This is an individual contributor role, not a people-management role. There is no team to manage. What the role does need is enough architectural experience and judgement to operate without a local backend peer for most of the working day.

You'll split your time between hands-on development, technical scoping, and live client-facing work in US hours. You remain part of Huble's single global Back End Development team.

• Software Architecture & Technical Delivery
  • Architect and build HubSpot solutions for US pod clients: data migrations, CRM implementations, custom UI extensions, workflows, website development, and API/systems integrations.
  • Write clean, maintainable code across Huble's backend stack, and own your own bug fixes and feature builds end to end.
  • Review API documentation to assess feasibility before committing to a scope.
  • Identify technical risk in a proposed solution early and propose alternatives.
  • Provide code review and QA on US pod work, including work handed over from or to the South Africa team.
  • Maintain strong working knowledge of HubSpot's platform, APIs, and native capabilities.
• Scoping & Pre-Sales Support
  • Act as the client-facing technical expert during pre-sales, discovery, and scoping calls in US business hours.
  • Own technical validation of scope for US pod work.
  • Partner directly with Solutions Architects on scoping.
  • Give Sales and Account teams a straight, credible technical read during prospecting and deal-scoping conversations.
• Client-Facing Technical Delivery
  • Be Huble's live technical presence for US clients.
  • Provide timely troubleshooting and technical response on live issues.
  • Build direct technical credibility and trust with US clients.
• Standards, Quality & Team Connection
  • Follow Huble's Back End Development standards and deployment process in full.
  • Join Back End team routines regularly.
  • Document scope, decisions, and handovers clearly and consistently.
  • Escalate to the Head of Back End Development when necessary.
  • Feed learnings from US-specific client work back into Huble's broader Back End practices.

Qualifications

• 8+ years as a Backend Developer, including demonstrable experience owning architecture decisions.
• Comfortable operating with autonomy, ideally with prior experience working remotely.
• Proven experience scoping and costing technical work.
• Comfortable pushing back on Project Managers or other stakeholders.
• Experience being client-facing as a technical expert.
• Strong proficiency with RESTful APIs and GraphQL.
• PHP 7 / PHP 5 (5+ years): strong understanding of PHP.
• Symfony 7 / 6 / 5 or similar frameworks: solid understanding of modern PHP frameworks.
• HTML5 (5+ years): strong understanding of semantic, standards-based HTML.
• JavaScript (4+ years): strong working knowledge.
• Node.js (2-3 years): experience building scalable backend services.
• React (2+ years): advantageous for supporting front-end React features.
• iPaaS (2+ years): experience designing integrations using platforms like n8n.io, Boomi, or Workato.
• In-depth knowledge of HubSpot's products and APIs.
• Understanding of architectural patterns.
• Extensive experience with development tools, build systems, version control, and CI/CD pipelines.

Benefits

• Fully remote position.
• Final compensation packages and benefits tailored to comply with local labor laws.
