HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) is the backbone of product delivery for HashiCorp Engineering. HCP is a customer-facing product that provides a unified experience for HashiCorp products being offered as cloud services.
Visibility Team is a critical part of HCP with a mission to provide observability data to the customers. Observability data is important to our customers to understand their security and reliability posture. Initially we focused on streaming platform and product audit logs to Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems like CloudWatch DataDog and Splunk Cloud. We are now expanding to integrate with additional SIEM systems. Visibility Team also delivers events through webhooks and email to notify internal and external customers of the HCP platform.
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.
Across product engineering and platform engineering teams we are looking for great engineers to come join us in developing the Infrastructure Cloud!
