Senior Software Engineer - Fullstack - Terraform Ecosystem, Hybrid Cloud Team

About the team

At HashiCorp, we’re committed to simplifying and empowering the digital world. A cornerstone of this commitment is HCP Terraform - an innovative platform that embodies our vision of providing seamless, efficient, and secure delivery of infrastructure provisioning and management. This powerful cloud service is a significant part of our infrastructure suite, enabling users to unify and automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources.

HCP Terraform is a comprehensive platform designed to streamline infrastructure provisioning and management through infrastructure as code (IaC). It centralizes Terraform configurations and state files, facilitating collaboration among team members while integrating seamlessly with version control systems. With scalable execution environments and robust access controls, HCP Terraform empowers teams to efficiently deploy, manage, and version infrastructure across environments.

HCP Terraform integrations enable customers to use their existing platform within a Terraform run, and leverage HCP Terraform, and Terraform Enterprise to manage resources exposed by their platform APIs. These integrations provide the interface and interactions between HCP Terraform and the APIs that interact with infrastructure. HCP Terraform integrations are responsible for understanding APIs and exposing resources for use with HCP Terraform.

The Terraform Ecosystem Hybrid Cloud team manages a number of products, to include the HCP Terraform ServiceNow integrations, the HCP Terraform Operator for Kubernetes, the HCP Terraform Integration for Splunk, as well as the Google Cloud provider, the Kubernetes provider, the Helm provider, and the vSphere provider for Terraform. In this role, you're primarily responsible for development and maintenance of the officially supported HCP Terraform integrations. (ServiceNow Service Catalog, ServiceNow Service Graph Connector, HCP Terraform Operator for Kubernetes) We leverage major cloud providers: AWS, Azure, GCP while working with HCP Terraform integrations. The team’s key technical competencies are broad, but can be summarized to the following: 

• Software engineering: requirements gathering, prototyping, implementation, validation, build and deployment, production monitoring.
• Solution discovery: ability to identify options to both technical and business challenges, and the willingness to experiment and validate.

Terraform Ecosystem Hybrid Cloud team occupies a strategic position in HashiCorp and supports a wide array of different products. We do not expect everyone to have industry experience in all things we do today. However, we do expect the candidate to have deep understanding in the software development cycle, concise communication, proven record in cross functional collaboration, and willingness to pivot and pick up new skills quickly.
