Software Engineer - Backend - Packer Core/Ecosystem
HashiCorp is a fast-growing startup that solves development, operations, and security challenges in infrastructure so organizations can focus on business-critical tasks. We build products to give organizations a consistent way to manage their move to cloud-based IT infrastructures for running their applications. Our products enable companies large and small to mix and match AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other clouds as well as on-premises environments, easing their ability to deliver new applications for their business.
About the role
The Packer team, like all of HashiCorp, is fully distributed (100% remote). We have been a remote company since our founding in 2012.
Packer is one of HashiCorp's oldest tools, and is a de facto standard in the infrastructure community for creating and automating the creation of machine images for dozens of platforms and technologies. The Packer team supports a strong open source community and these integrations, and recently has announced a new service on HashiCorp's cloud platform "HCP". This service aims to simplify complex workflows HashiCorp customers have for managing machine images, and the primary interface to work with this new service is the HCP portal user interface.
In this role you can expect to:
- Work on a small team developing the open source Packer CLI tool.
- Collaborate where necessary with the HCP Packer teams.
- Listen to feedback and interact thoughtfully with our community on the GitHub issue tracker, provide reasonable support, prioritize issues, and review community pull requests.
- Program mostly in Golang, learning from and contributing to a community at HashiCorp committed to continually improving their knowledge.
- Maintain a wide variety of integrations with all of the leading cloud providers.
You may be a good fit for our team if:
- You've worked on an open source project, or are excited to do so.
- You have experience in Golang or a similar language.
- You have experience with virtualization and/or one or more leading cloud providers.
- You are passionate about making intuitive and backwards-compatible developer tools.
- You are good with words and like communicating with the users of your product.
