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.

We're looking for a Software Engineer II 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.

They should understand how to protect these systems and enjoy working with teams in charge of both the system's setup and its functions. They should be skilled at solving complex problems that impact multiple 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.

• 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

• Have 3+ years of production experience working on any of the following:




• Backend applications (e.g., Ruby on Rails)
