Engineer II, Backend

About HashiCorp Engineering

We build the Infrastructure Cloud which allows enterprises to take a unified approach to Infrastructure and Security Lifecycle Management:

Infrastructure Lifecycle Management: Build / Deploy / Manage

• Terraform allows you to use infrastructure as code to provision and manage any infrastructure across your organization.
• Packer standardizes image workflows across cloud providers, allowing teams to build, govern and manage any image for any cloud.
• Waypoint makes infrastructure easily accessible at scale, enabling platform teams to deliver golden patterns and workflows with an internal developer platform.
• Nomad brings modern application scheduling to any type of software, allowing you to manage containers, binaries and VMs efficiently in the cloud, on-premises and across edge environments.

Security Lifecycle Management: Protect / Inspect / Connect

• Vault provides organizations with identity-based security to automatically authenticate and authorize access to secrets and other sensitive data.
• Boundary standardizes secure remote access across dynamic environments, allowing organizations to connect users and manage access with identity-based security controls.
• Consul standardizes service networking, allowing you to discover and securely connect any service across any runtime with identity-based service networking. 

We deliver the Infrastructure Cloud through an enterprise-grade unified SaaS platform, HCP, as well as to enterprises through self-managed/on-premises options.

Across product engineering and platform engineering teams, we are looking for great engineers to come join us in developing the Infrastructure Cloud!

Why Join Us?

At HashiCorp, we work on products that our users and customers love. It dramatically eases the work and overhead of deploying, managing and securing infrastructure for teams, allowing people to focus on the uniquely valuable parts of their job, rather than tedious and repetitive tasks. 

This means customers really use our software and provide lots of feedback. Gathering and understanding this feedback requires that we collaborate not only with other engineers, but with our partners in Product, Design, Support, Sales, Education, Community and many other groups that need to work together to ensure our products are having the intended impact.

We lean into our principles of Pragmatism and Execution to keep our focus on outcomes that actually impact our customers. We find that balancing with Beauty Works Better means we put in a bit of extra effort to solve a problem once the best way we can find, rather than taking shortcuts. We find that our principles of Kindness, Humility, and Reflection allow team members to collaborate openly and safely. We look to help and learn from each other and win together.

HashiCorp Engineering is looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers to join us and make all of us better.
