About The Team – Engineering At HashiCorp

The HashiCorp engineering team builds the Infrastructure Cloud, enabling enterprises to take a unified approach to Infrastructure and Security Lifecycle Management.

Infrastructure Lifecycle Management: Build / Deploy / Manage

• Terraform – infrastructure as code to provision and manage any infrastructure.
• Packer – standardizes image workflows across cloud providers.
• Waypoint – makes infrastructure easily accessible at scale, enabling platform teams to deliver golden patterns and workflows.
• Nomad – modern application scheduling for containers, binaries, and VMs across cloud, on‑premises, and edge environments.

Security Lifecycle Management: Protect / Inspect / Connect

• Vault Radar – automated security product that detects unmanaged secrets and PII within code.
• Vault – identity‑based security to authenticate and authorize access to secrets and sensitive data.
• Boundary – secure remote access across dynamic environments with identity‑based controls.
• Consul – service networking that discovers and securely connects any service across any runtime.

The Infrastructure Cloud is delivered through the enterprise‑grade SaaS platform HCP and self‑managed/on‑premises options. Across product and platform engineering teams, we are looking for great engineers to develop the Infrastructure Cloud.
