About the Team

The Core Data team is responsible for the governance, publishing, consumption, indexing, cataloging, and storage of data schemas and metadata across services, APIs, and organizations. We build and maintain the foundational services that power the entire lifecycle of data at HashiCorp. These critical systems form the Data Fabric domain, used across all of HashiCorp’s products and platform teams.

We’re a group of Software Engineers and Product Managers solving challenging data problems at scale. We work with distributed systems and collaborate across teams to ensure our platform and products are reliable, performant, and extensible.

We’re looking for a junior Frontend Software Engineer to join the Core Data team!

• Create data-rich, dynamic UIs that communicate complex backend systems with clarity
• Participate in collaborative team practices like code reviews, pair programming, and design discussions
• Interface with backend engineers to define APIs and data models that support frontend requirements
• Contribute to cross-team engineering efforts and help evolve shared patterns and components

What you’ll need (basic qualifications)

• Professional experience as a frontend engineer working in production environments
• Experience with JavaScript frameworks like Ember.js, React, Angular, or Vue (we use modern Ember.js)
• Have familiarity or interest in data platforms and infrastructure-oriented tooling
• Are comfortable working in a distributed, remote-first team
• Enjoy turning complex systems into accessible and intuitive user interfaces
• Care about code quality and maintainability, with a focus on testing and user experience
• Value collaboration, feedback, and continuous learning
• Are excited by working on mission-critical systems that power multiple products

What's nice to have (preferred qualifications)

• Technical Writing
• Presentation skills
• Independent Research
