What types of problems do we work on?

We're helping the actual human people running small and medium-sized companies grow their businesses using a single simple platform. From small sales teams, marketing-departments-of-one, and part-time services folks to medium-sized orgs that have their sea legs, we're all about helping these sized businesses grow.

What is growth? Growth for our customers means being able to hire more people, build and sell more products, and help more and more of their customers succeed -but not at any cost. Baked into the products we make are practices and approaches to growth that help customers sell, market, and service their customers responsibly, in ways we'd want to experience.

If you want to guide what the future of growth looks like, these are the kinds of problems to work on.

How do we design?

Design at HubSpot is both grounded in experience design fundamentals and a deep belief that small autonomous teams are the best way to get excellent work in customer's hands.

• We value solving for the customer above all else
• We give each designer the responsibility and ownership to chart the course for their designs throughout the product and across teams. We don't do sign-offs and burdensome documentation.
• We respect user research and content and work cooperatively with them while designing
• We carefully lead and maintain a high-functioning, usability-centered design system and design language with our front end teammates.
• We're embedded on small teams with engineers and product managers in sane sustainable ratios.
