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.

The Consul team, like all of HashiCorp, is fully distributed (100% remote). We have been a remote company since our founding in 2012. 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 Team:

Consul helps organizations automate network configurations, discover services, and enable secure connectivity across any cloud or runtime. We recently announced Consul API Gateway, a dedicated ingress solution for intelligently routing traffic to applications in Consul. 

About the Role:

On the Consul team, we help organizations automate network configurations, discover services, and enable secure connectivity across any cloud or runtime. The customers and large community of users of our tools are operators, infrastructure engineers, and software developers that encounter novel performance, scaling, and usability challenges that we help them solve.

This is a small engineering team that is in bootstrapping mode. You’ll be part of the team that sets the technical vision and architecture of the project. We plan to launch a technical preview in November 2021, and have an exciting roadmap ahead of us. You’ll be an active contributor to the service mesh and cloud networking ecosystem, following new developments in emerging technology and competitive offerings, looking for opportunities for product differentiation, and rethinking product architecture to meet new global scale and organizational demands.

In this role you can expect to:

• Program mostly in Golang, learning from and contributing to a team committed to continually improving their skills.
• Build and architect distributed systems for service connectivity across heterogeneous environments (Kubernetes, VMs, bare metal datacenter, or edge deployments).
• Interface directly with internal teams, users and HashiCorp customers, as well as the larger Consul community.
• Participate in discussions with product managers, designers and customers to better understand the network topologies, challenges, and constraints for which operators are trying to solve, and leverage those insights when approaching feature design and implementation.
• Propose new functionality or substantive changes through written documents in an async process, describing the problem background, proposed implementation and example UX, then iterating on peer feedback collaboratively.
• Own the full lifecycle of feature development from design through testing, release and support.

You may be a good fit for our team if you have:

• Experience in a lower-level language like Go.
• Familiarity with service-oriented architectures, and ideally have worked on an infrastructure or platform team building internal tooling to deploy, connect and monitor them.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or an interest in learning: our implementation leverages the Gateway API
• Familiarity with networking and security concepts like TCP, UDP, TLS, Certificate Management etc.
• Collaborate with peer engineers in discussions around performance, user experience, security and other constraints when designing complex systems.

What is our hiring process like?

The below serves as a basic outline; we may choose to add or remove steps based on the information that we gather during the process.

• Introductory Call with someone from our recruiting team.
• First Interview with an Engineering Manager
• Interview Loop with additional team members, with the following panel:
• Technical Code Pairing interview
• Code Review interview
• Communication and Collaboration interview
• Systems and architecture interview
• If applicable, a final conversation with the Engineering Manager for the team you would be joining
• Offer

We do our best to accommodate your programming language of choice for technical interviews.

About the Application Process:

Please note, as collaboration and communication are a critical aspect of how we work, a cover letter is a great way to provide a sample of how you communicate.

In your cover letter, please describe why you're interested in working at HashiCorp, and what draws you to this role in particular. Specifics of your past experience that are relevant to this role are great to include, too.
