Hire a HubSpot developer.
An engineer on your portal by Monday. Not a project manager who relays your questions to a developer. A certified HubSpot engineer working in your portal, in your repo, in your standup, for as long as you need one and no longer.
You need one engineer, not an agency.
Most HubSpot work sits in a gap: too technical for a marketing agency, too small to hire a permanent developer for, and too specific for a generalist contractor who has never seen a HubL template. That gap is where projects sit unstarted for six months.
Too technical for the agency. Too small to hire.
Hiring — the gapWhat an embedded engineer actually means.
A named person, not a pool
The same engineer every week, who learns your portal and your business. Not a ticket queue where the context resets each time somebody picks up a task.
They work in your tools
Your Slack, your Jira or Linear, your repository, your standup. If your team runs code review, they submit to it like anyone else.
Certified on the platform
HubSpot CMS, API and architecture certifications, and a Platinum partner behind them with escalation paths into HubSpot when a platform issue is genuinely a platform issue.
Full stack, not just HubL
HubL, React, TypeScript, Node, serverless functions, the APIs and whatever your product is written in. Most HubSpot work has a leg outside HubSpot.
You own everything
Source in your repository, documentation as you go, no proprietary framework you need us to maintain. If you stop, you keep a system another engineer can pick up.
Scale up and down
Two days a week for a quarter, or four engineers for a migration and then one. No notice periods and no recruitment cycle.
Engineers, working the way engineers work.
Scope in writing
What is being built, what it will not do, and how we will both know it is finished. Fixed scope where the work is knowable, a sprint rate where it is not.
Build in the open
Version control, a preview environment and a running demo, so you are not waiting until the end to find out what you are getting.
Review against the portal
Tested inside your actual portal with your actual content, at phone, tablet and desktop widths, before anybody calls it done.
Ship and document
Deployed, with the source handed over and a page explaining how to change it. You own what we build.
The freelancer who has never seen a portal.
Generalist contractors are cheaper per hour and then spend three weeks learning that HubL is not Liquid, that theme fields and module fields validate differently, and that islands must degrade to server HTML. The specialist premium is recovered in the first sprint, usually twice.
What people ask before they commit.
How quickly can someone start?
Usually within a week for part-time engagements, two for full-time. We tell you honestly if the bench is full rather than assigning someone who is not right for the work.
What is the minimum engagement?
We do fixed-scope pieces of work as small as a few days, and ongoing engagements from two days a week. What we do not do well is one-hour emergencies, because context matters more than hours here.
Can they work with our in-house team?
That is the usual arrangement. Our engineer takes the HubSpot-specific work while your team owns the product, and the two meet at the integration boundary.
What time zones do you cover?
The team spans six countries, with the core in the Americas. There is meaningful overlap with US, Latin American and European working hours, and we work in English and Spanish.
Do we own the code?
Yes, entirely. It lives in your repository from day one, it is documented, and there is no dependency on us to keep it running.
What if it is not working out?
Engagements are month to month. If the fit is wrong we would rather replace the engineer or end it cleanly than have you stuck in a contract with someone who is not right.
Where people go from here.
Get an engineer on the portal.
Tell us what you are running
What the system does today, where it breaks, and when it has to work. An engineer reads it — you get an answer inside one business day, not a sequence.
