Description

About the team

The Terraform Core team is a “center of innovation” delivering foundational improvements to Terraform that advance the state of the art of Infrastructure as Code. The Core team is responsible for improving Terraform Community Edition, as well as piloting and guiding efforts across teams to drive ambitious workflow improvements across the entire Terraform product line.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to join our team. The majority of the libraries we maintain are written in Golang and are open source or source-available, receiving contributions from a large community of users. You will help review, fix, design, prototype and implement features and tools while ensuring stability and usability. You will lead large customer-facing projects and interact regularly with collaborators on other teams to deliver multi-team engineering efforts. This is an opportunity to have an impact not just on the productivity and lives of developers, but on improving an industry as a whole.

Because more than half of the Terraform Core team is located in Europe and healthy collaboration is key to our success, we're only considering candidates based in the US Eastern, Central, or Atlantic timezones.

In this role, you can expect to:

  • Develop, advocate for, and support new and existing features in Terraform Community Edition
  • Own large customer-facing projects, judiciously evaluate trade offs and remove project blockers
  • Spend time writing about customer problems, potential solutions, and more in the form of RFCs (Requests For Comments)
  • Engage open source contributors, promote healthy community engagement, and establish standards for effectively working in the open
  • Empathize with the end user and be their voice when influencing priorities and technical decisions
  • Participate in cross-team working groups while developing your knowledge as a subject matter expert
  • Enable your teammates through technical contributions, code reviews, and pairing
  • Work with internal and external stakeholders to determine and prioritize new features and enhancements critical to the success of HashiCorp customers and the broader community

You may be a good fit for our team if some of the following apply:

  • You have professional experience developing with Go
  • You have experience with API development
  • You have experience or interest in learning Terraform and Terraform internals
  • You have experience or are interested in working in an open source software development environment
  • You have experience navigating daunting large and complex codebases
  • You have experience leading software development projects from conception to delivery
  • You enjoy working collaboratively on a fully-remote, fast-moving team
  • You have strong written communication skills, and you understand how to use tools like code review to asynchronously unblock and level up your peers
  • You have 5+ years of professional software engineering experience

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
