About the Role

HCP Vault Secrets is a HashiCorp security product that helps customers manage the lifecycle of their secrets. It is a deeply technical product with a focus on accuracy and reliability given the sensitive nature of data that it manages. Its users are operators of platforms, developers of applications, and security admins. HCP Vault Secrets is the recently launched cloud offering for secrets lifecycle management (SLM), and is a sister team to Vault, the industry standard for self-managed SLM.

In its vision to become the modern standard for securing access to multi-cloud infrastructure and data, we are starting with Secrets Lifecycle Management and will continue onwards to increasing our breadth of secret types with the goal of enabling our customers to have a significantly more secure posture and rely less on human-managed secrets. We are passionate about delivering user-centric workflows for bottoms-up adoption and trust, making security compliance a low-effort activity. We place a heavy emphasis on building products that address customer pain points, collecting data on adoption of features, and continually iterating on quantitative and qualitative feedback.
