What the job involves
- At HashiCorp, our mission is to provide infrastructure automation and security solutions that empower organizations to provision, secure, connect, and run any infrastructure for any application
- HCP Packer is a modern evolution of Packer, one of HashiCorp’s original open-source tools and a foundational solution in the infrastructure space for building machine images
- HCP Packer brings the power of image automation to the cloud, offering a managed experience that simplifies the lifecycle of machine image creation, versioning, governance, and consumption
- With features like image ancestry tracking, version metadata management, and image revocation, HCP Packer enables platform and security teams to scale image pipelines with confidence
- The HCP Packer team is building a robust SaaS offering tightly integrated with the broader HashiCorp Cloud Platform
- We empower teams to manage secure, compliant image pipelines and support evolving needs around vulnerability management, Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs), and compliance frameworks like SLSA (Supply Chain Levels for Software Artifacts)
- As we modernize Packer and expand its ecosystem, we’re looking for strong engineers who thrive on solving complex challenges, balancing system performance and user experience, and collaborating across functions to build secure, scalable solutions for our global customer base
- You will support and add new features and improvements to HCP Packer

- Write production-grade Golang code and actively participate in design reviews, code reviews, and architectural discussions
- Contribute to the overall developer and customer experience through documentation, tooling, and thoughtful UX/API design
- Engage in discovery and experimentation to explore new integrations, workflow patterns, and enterprise needs—publishing findings via RFCs and participating in solution validation
- Operate and monitor production systems as part of our on-call rotation, using observability tooling to proactively identify and resolve issues
- Help drive a culture of technical excellence, security-first development, and continuous learning within the team and across the organization
