A career in IBM Software means you'll be part of a team that transforms our customer's challenges into industry-leading solutions. We are an infinitely curious team, always seeking new possibilities, and dedicated to creating the world's leading AI-powered, cloud-native software solutions. Our renowned legacy creates endless global opportunities for our network of IBMers. We are a team of deep product experts, ensuring exceptional client experiences, with a focus on delivery, excellence, and obsession over customer outcomes. This position involves contributing to HashiCorp's offerings, now part of IBM, which empower organizations to automate and secure multi-cloud and hybrid environments. You will join a team managing the lifecycle of infrastructure and security, enhancing IBM's cloud solutions to ensure enterprises achieve efficiency, security, and scalability in their cloud journey.
Terraform Cloud provides complex infrastructure lifecycle management to organizations with a single workflow to provision their cloud, private datacenter, and SaaS infrastructure. The Terraform Enterprise team delivers the Terraform Cloud SaaS offering to the customer’s on-prem environments, with seamless user experience in installation, administration, operation and maintenance. As a result, this team is responsible for a wide range of responsibilities to service the diverse customer base. These include but are not limited to software development, infrastructure and site reliability engineering, release management, and more. We leverage major cloud providers: AWS, Azure, GCP, and invest heavily in deployment options in Docker and Kubernetes. The current stacks are Go, Terraform, Ruby on Rails, GitHub Action and more. The team’s key technical competencies are broad, but can be summarized to the following:
Software engineering: requirements gathering, prototyping, implementation, validation, build and deployment, production monitoring.
Infrastructure, system and security engineering: scaling, disaster recovery planning, error handling.
Solution discovery: ability to identify options to both technical and business challenges, and the willingness to experiment and validate.
Terraform Enterprise occupies a strategic position in HashiCorp and experiences vastly different opportunities at a fast pace. We do not expect everyone to have industry experience in all things we do today. However, we do expect the candidate to have deep understanding in the software development cycle, concise communication, proven record in cross functional collaboration, and willingness to pivot and pick up new skills quickly. This is a unique opportunity for those who excel at both system change and point solution and enjoy acquiring broad experience. We follow the agile methodologies of two-week sprints, refinement, scrum, and retrospectives. Terraform Enterprise team is spread across 9 time zones in 4 countries. We are 100% remote.
HashiCorp views management and technical leadership as two tracks, with a highly technical background being a requirement for both. This role is uniquely technical given the deeply infrastructure-related nature of the product. Given this unique situation, it is expected that applicants would be comfortable covering a mix of functions. In order of priority, this would include people management and coaching, product alignment, and technical guidance.
The team is rapidly expanding. As an Engineering Manager on the Terraform Enterprise team, you will have a large impact on the growth and shape of the organization and the prioritization of the features that we deliver in the coming months, quarters and years. Come join us and help shape the future of Terraform Enterprise!
