Our Organization

HashiCorp helps solve development, operations, and security challenges in infrastructure so organizations can focus on business-critical tasks. We build products to give organizations a consistent way to manage their move to cloud-based IT infrastructures for running their applications.

We use the Tao of HashiCorp as our guiding principles for product development and operate according to a strong set of company principles for how we interact with each other. We value top-notch collaboration and communication skills, both among internal teams and in how we interact with our users. 

Our Team

The HashiCorp Observability team is responsible for providing HashiCorp engineers with observability tooling and capabilities using a software engineering-based approach. Our focus is on making it easy for HashiCorp engineers to understand the state of production in HashiCorp Cloud Platform, while at the same time providing context and control over things like cloud and SaaS costs. This team will involve a mixture of both infrastructure engineering/product engineering practices and more SRE-like engagements with engineering teams who are using observability tooling. There will also be some emphasis on addressing vendor costs as it relates to supporting developers in their observability needs. The team will also consult and collaborate with our other Infrastructure teams who are focused on developer tooling and platforms when there are opportunities to achieve objectives around better observability or on tooling value optimization.
