Sr. Backend Engineer II - HCP Visibility

About the team - Engineering at HashiCorp

On the HashiCorp engineering team, we build the Infrastructure Cloud which allows enterprises to take a unified approach to Infrastructure and Security Lifecycle Management:

Infrastructure Lifecycle Management: Build / Deploy / Manage

• Terraform allows you to use infrastructure as code to provision and manage any infrastructure across your organization.
• Packer standardizes image workflows across cloud providers, allowing teams to build, govern and manage any image for any cloud.
• Waypoint makes infrastructure easily accessible at scale, enabling platform teams to deliver golden patterns and workflows with an internal developer platform.
• Nomad brings modern application scheduling to any type of software, allowing you to manage containers, binaries and VMs efficiently in the cloud, on-premises and across edge environments.

Security Lifecycle Management: Protect / Inspect / Connect

• Vault provides organizations with identity-based security to automatically authenticate and authorize access to secrets and other sensitive data.
• Boundary standardizes secure remote access across dynamic environments, allowing organizations to connect users and manage access with identity-based security controls.
• Consul standardizes service networking, allowing you to discover and securely connect any service across any runtime with identity-based service networking. 

We deliver the Infrastructure Cloud through an enterprise-grade unified SaaS platform, HCP, as well as to enterprises through self-managed/on-premises options.

Across product engineering and platform engineering teams, we are looking for great engineers to come join us in developing the Infrastructure Cloud!
