Hubspot, Cambridge, MA, United States


Senior Machine Learning Engineer II
Engineering
Remote – United Kingdom
POS-31662

Role Summary
HubSpot is building the next generation of AI experiences across our go-to-market products. We’re hiring a

Senior Machine Learning Engineer II

to join the

Flywheel Context (Contacts) team , where you’ll build the

context platform layer

that powers accurate, high-performing AI assistants and agents.

This is a

backend-leaning ML engineering role

focused on

shipping production software

— designing systems that help other engineering teams retrieve relevant facts, manage long/complex context, and evaluate quality at scale. If you love building durable platforms (not just prototypes), this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Design, build, and operate backend services

that power context retrieval and enrichment for AI assistants and agents.

Build platform capabilities for

storing, searching, and retrieving “insights” and relevant facts

across HubSpot’s GTM data.

Develop systems to

manage and compress context

when it gets large (e.g., long contact histories, high-volume CRM data).

Create tooling that allows other engineering teams to

ship assistants/agents faster , with consistent APIs and reusable primitives.

Build and maintain

evaluation and measurement

approaches (offline evals, golden datasets, automated metrics, human review loops) to ensure context quality and answer accuracy.

Collaborate closely with

sister platform teams and downstream product engineering teams

(your “customers”) to integrate platform capabilities into real experiences.

Own end-to-end delivery:

architecture, implementation, observability, performance, reliability, and iteration .

Required Qualifications

Strong track record

shipping production backend systems

as a senior engineer (ownership from design to delivery).

Professional Java experience

building maintainable, testable services in production (this is core to the role).

Experience implementing

ML workflows in production

(e.g., retrieval/ranking pipelines, feature/data pipelines, model/embedding services, evaluation frameworks).

Comfort working with

data tooling and data-intensive systems

(large datasets, pipelines, and service integrations).

Experience operating software at meaningful scale (e.g., high throughput, significant data volume, performance and reliability constraints).

Strong engineering fundamentals:

system design, code quality, debugging, observability, and operational excellence .

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

Experience with

search/retrieval/relevance/ranking systems

(highly aligned to context work).

Experience with

RAG-style systems , embeddings, vector search, or hybrid retrieval strategies.

Familiarity with

LLM evaluation

patterns (golden sets, automated metrics, human review), hallucination mitigation, and quality measurement.

Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, or stream processing.

Cloud/platform experience (e.g., Kubernetes, AWS/GCP) and running services in production.

Some Python experience (useful, but

not the primary language ).
