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.

Vault Radar is an automated security product that continuously detects and identifies unmanaged secrets, and personally identifiable information (PII) within code to help teams remediate risks.

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!
