About the team
We are looking for an experienced front end engineer to join the Vault Ecosystem team. The Ecosystem team is responsible for extending Vault through integrations. As a front end developer you will help design, prototype, and implement UI features in Ember.js in order to make these integrations easier to manage and to understand. We integrate with cloud services, databases, infrastructure tools such as Terraform, authentication and authorization engines, orchestration tools such as Kubernetes, and other HashiCorp technologies.
We operate autonomously in a highly collaborative, remote-first environment. Anchored by kindness, communication, and humility, we provide the Vault Community and Vault Enterprise customers the ability to interact with their own systems and tools, and extend Vault’s capabilities to suit their needs.
With the support of your teammates, product management, manager, and front end developers across the organization you’ll grow your breadth and depth of knowledge to reach the next level in your career.
This person will be a part of the Vault engineering team at HashiCorp, working to provide a fantastic and broadly used secrets tool for businesses and individuals handling all sizes and types of infrastructure.
