Golang Job: Software Engineer II - Consul Core

About the Role

At HashiCorp, we value top-notch collaboration and communication skills, both among internal teams and in how we interact with our users. We take care to balance and be responsive to the needs of our open source community as well as our enterprise level customers.

Engineering at HashiCorp is largely a remote team. While prior experience working remotely isn't required, we are looking for team members who perform well given a high level of independence and autonomy.

This role is for an Engineer 2 on one of the engineering teams at HashiCorp. Each of these teams works on both open source and enterprise versions of each tool, programming primarily in Go with a focus on stability, reliability, performance, and security. Our infrastructure tools are used in critical environments and operated by a range of organizations and individuals to solve infrastructure management problems.

This role provides an opportunity to help design, prototype, and implement core features while ensuring the stability of the product across a range of use-cases. Our team’s work can be viewed on GitHub in the products (for Vault, Terraform, or Consul) or in libraries our teams depend on, like raft, memberlist, and go-plugin.

In this role, you can expect to learn how to...

• Program in Golang, learning from and contributing to a team committed to continually improving their skills
• Contribute to the HashiCorp community by providing code review, and support to HashiCorp employees, community members, and partners
• Advocate and support improvements to product APIs and core to improve development and integration of tools and plugins
• Build and architect systems for managing extremely large-scale global fleets of resources
• Work on issues and improvements critical to the success of HashiCorp customers and the broader community
• Own the full lifecycle of feature development from design through testing and release

You may be a good fit for our team if you...

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent training in the United States
• Have some experience working in a professional environment is preferred
• Have some proficiency in Go, Python, Java, or C++
• Have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Have the ability to work in a fast paced, team-based environment
• Exhibit high quality in your work, through research and understanding of the problem space, collaborating with the team to come up with solutions, proactively communicating your progress to the team, and shipping the feature over the finish line
• Have strong written and verbal communication skills
• Are well-organized, excellent work ethic, attention to detail, self-starting, and have a desire to learn
• Are a creative thinker who also understands real-world products
• Have the constant desire to grow, learn, and explore new things
