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!

Cloud Visibility has a mission to provide observability data to customers of the HashiCorp Cloud Platform. As a member of this team, you will be directly contributing to HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP), a self-service, fully managed platform offering HashiCorp products as managed services.

• Own the full lifecycle of platform and audit event ingestion and streaming including implementation, testing, release, and maintenance.
• Program mostly in Golang and work with technologies like Prometheus, Grafana, Kafka, Kinesis and more.

You may be a good fit for our team if:

• You have at least 12+ years of professional experience as an engineer
• You have professional experience developing with modern programming languages and frameworks, and are interested in working in Golang specifically
• You have experience working with distributed systems, particularly on a cloud provider such as AWS, Azure or GCP, with a focus on scalability, resilience and security.
• Emerging ability to direct work and influence others, with a strategic approach to problem-solving and decision-making in a collaborative environment
