About 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.

We are looking for great engineers to come join us in developing the Infrastructure Cloud!

Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
