At HashiCorp, we have used the Tao of HashiCorp as our guiding principles for product development and operate according to a strong set of company principles for how we interact with each other. We value top-notch collaboration and communication skills, both among internal teams and in how we interact with our users.

Engineering at HashiCorp is largely a remote team. While prior experience working remotely isn't required, we are looking for team members who perform well given a high level of independence and autonomy.

About the Role

We build Consul, Nomad, Vault, Terraform, Vagrant, and Packer. Alongside of that, we deploy enterprise products for each in a variety of different ways: licensed and unlicensed binaries, appliances to public cloud platforms, and hosted SaaS platforms. Our products help organizations of all sizes run any infrastructure for any application.

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join the Vault Cloud team and focus on developing the core subsystems in Vault. You will help design, prototype, and implement core features while ensuring the scalability and stability of Vault.

This person will be a part of the Vault engineering team at HashiCorp, working to provide a fantastic and broadly used secrets tool for businesses and individuals handling all sizes and types of infrastructure.

In this role, you can expect to:

• Work on next-generation distributed systems for operations management
• Build and architect systems for managing extremely large-scale global fleets of resources
• Interface directly with internal teams, users and HashiCorp customers
• Own the full lifecycle of development including design, testing, release, and running the service in production
• Program mostly in Golang, learning from and contributing to a team committed to continually improving their skills
• Work on issues and improvements critical to the success of HashiCorp customers and the broader community
• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation that supports our critical production services

You may be a good fit for our team if:

• You have 3+ years of professional software development experience
• You have strong language experience using Go
• You are familiar with microservices architectures, and ideally have seen them in operation at a global scale
• You have prior experience working in high performance or distributed systems
• You are able to knowledgeably discuss performance, security, and user interactions in complex systems
• You have a strong understanding of security principles
• You have built or operated a large scale Cloud service
