About the team
The Foundations Engineering team is composed of Site Reliability Engineers and Software Engineers working on the HCP Terraform hosted service. Our team ensures that the platform’s underlying infrastructure, data stores, and core foundational services are reliable, performant, and robust.
What you’ll do (responsibilities)
We’re looking for a Sr. Software Engineer to join our team. The Engineers on our team own the core foundational services that power the entire HCP Terraform hosted service. These mission-critical services and data stores compose the Terraform plan and apply pipeline, and are used by every Terraform run which hits HCP Terraform.
An ideal candidate will have experience building distributed systems at scale, a principled approach to service security, and an interest in working closely with both infrastructure and feature teams to solve complex problems that span several services.
If you fit this profile, we’d love to meet you! We have a large footprint and a quickly-growing user base, with lots of interesting problems and plenty of opportunities for growth and development.
What you’ll need (basic qualifications)
- Develop and maintain the backend services on which HCP Terraform relies
- Continuously improve the product by writing code in systems written in Ruby on Rails and Golang
- Investigate problems, performance bottlenecks, and orchestration issues which span multiple services
- Enable your teammates through technical mentorship, code reviews, and pairing
- Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation that supports our production services
What's nice to have (preferred qualifications)
- Have 5+ years of production experience working on any of the following:
- Backend applications (e.g., Ruby on Rails)
- Databases (e.g., Postgres, Redis)
- Services written in Go
- Strive for quality through maintainable code and comprehensive testing from development to deployment
- Experience building and scaling distributed, highly available systems
- Communicate clearly while remaining empathetic and kind
- Have an eagerness to learn through humility and reflection
- Have experience debugging performance bottlenecks for live services and systems
