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 Terraform

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool that provides a consistent CLI workflow for managing infrastructure and codifies cloud APIs into declarative configuration files. 

Terraform allows operators to safely and predictably make changes to infrastructure with its clear mapping of dependencies, separation of plan/apply phases, and its registry of over 1000 providers.

About the Role

On the Terraform Core team, we build the open-source core that powers Terraform, a platform and set of tools that enable teams to confidently own and run their infrastructure. Our customers and users place a high level of trust in us, relying on our tools to operate their own infrastructure and software effectively, so we care deeply about reliability and performance.

In this role you can expect to:

• Develop new features and bugfixes for the open-source core that powers Terraform
• Partner with Community team members to ensure the Terraform community of open source contributors and users is healthy and supported
• Work across teams to build great developer experiences for developers of providers and plugins across the Terraform ecosystem
• Help design and build architectures and features in the Terraform CLI and core APIs that offer a seamless experience across Terraform’s open source and commercial offerings
• Help develop and run experiments to chart a course for the next generation of infrastructure automation tooling
• Interact directly with internal teams, users, and HashiCorp customers, as well as the larger Terraform community
• Participate in the full lifecycle of development, from collaborating with peer teams on design through testing and release
• Program mostly in Golang, learning from and contributing to a team committed to peer mentorship and continually improving their skills

You may be a good fit for our team if:

• You’ve worked on large, complex codebases with many users
• You have experience as a Terraform practitioner
• You have experience with or interest in using Go
• You have strong experience using written communication to help others understand your ideas and to gather/incorporate feedback
• You approach new challenges with curiosity, and the idea of participating in and contributing to a learning culture is exciting to you
• You’re able to knowledgeably discuss and balance performance, security, and user interactions in complex systems
