Role
Who you are

- Deployment experience for highly compliant industries, such as US Federal environments
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Proven record of delivering with ambiguous product requirements and scope by refinement and system analysis. You are able to identify pragmatic and ideal solutions by accounting for tradeoffs and costs

What the job involves
- Terraform provides complex infrastructure lifecycle management to organizations with a single workflow to provision their cloud, private datacenter, and SaaS infrastructure
- The Terraform Enterprise team’s mandate is to deliver 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

- The current stacks are Go, Terraform, Ruby on Rails, GitHub Action and more

- 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
- The Terraform Enterprise product continues to evolve to meet the needs of our customers
- First three months:
- Gain proficiency in the Terraform Enterprise application and are able to replicate customer’s user experience in installation, configuration, execution and monitoring
- Collaborate on a cross-functional team including Engineering, Product, and Design to deliver excellent customer experiences
- Own medium to large customer facing projects, judiciously evaluate trade offs and remove project blockers
- Actively participate in code reviews and mentor junior developers, fostering a collaborative and knowledge-sharing environment within the team
- First three to six months:
- Participate in our on-call rotation to resolve escalated critical product issues for customers
- Lead cross-team working groups while developing your knowledge as subject matter expert
- Design, build, iterate on, and ship the Terraform modules, machine images, system configuration, and software that delivers Terraform Enterprise in customer environments
