Introduction

A career in IBM Software means you'll be part of a team that atransforms our customer's challenges into industry-leading solutions. We are an infinitely curious team, always seeking new possibilities, and dedicated to creating the world's leading AI-powered, cloud-native software solutions. Our renowned legacy creates endless global opportunities for our network of IBMers. We are a team of deep product experts, ensuring exceptional client experiences, with a focus on delivery, excellence, and obsession over customer outcomes. This position involves contributing to HashiCorp's offerings, now part of IBM, which empower organizations to automate and secure multi-cloud and hybrid environments. You will join a team managing the lifecycle of infrastructure and security, enhancing IBM's cloud solutions to ensure enterprises achieve efficiency, security, and scalability in their cloud journey.

Your Role And Responsibilities

The Web Presence team is a hybrid group of designers and engineers who are responsible for delivering high-quality web experiences that support HashiCorp, an IBM company’s go-to-market efforts. This includes a variety of websites like hashicorp.com, developer.hashicorp.com and more. For many of HashiCorp’s customers and users, the Web Presence team delivers their first experience with the company and so it’s crucial we set high standards.

Along with the rest of HashiCorp, we know we can't succeed without each team member being successful - a great team culture is something that is constructed by actual experiences, not through words alone. HashiCorp's Principles are referenced in our day-to-day work and aren't just "words on the wall".

Our team believes that “working in the open” makes us all better. This means that we often write down and collaborate on ideas before we start writing code. We embrace proofs of concept that communicate the core of an idea and often start the “imperfect” version of something first to collect feedback. Iteration and progressive improvement make our work adaptable, modular, and ultimately better.

Given the breadth of web properties our team manages, there’s a wide range of work on this team. Our projects range from frontend-heavy marketing initiatives with interactive graphics and complex animations, to implementing and evolving HashiCorp’s design system, to backend systems architecture, to fullstack feature development that directly impacts HashiCorp users.

We encourage individual autonomy and keep processes minimal. We value flexibility, prioritize asynchronous communication, and adjust workflows as needed depending on the needs of the project or team. We have unique challenges across the stack to work on and you’ll get a say in what is compelling for your interests and growth.

We're not dogmatic about the tools we use and are constantly learning as a team. We believe strongly in learning, so deep prior experience with our tools of choice isn't strictly necessary, but you should be sure that you are open to learning them and will enjoy working with them every day.

What You’ll Do (responsibilities)

The Web Presence team is looking for a senior level engineer to join the team and have an impact by helping to build, operate and improve HashiCorp’s public facing web experiences.

You May Be a Good Fit If You Are

• Curious, creative and collaborative. You approach problems incrementally, taking a pragmatic approach without premature optimization or abstraction.
• Someone who likes communicating your ideas, planning to tackle something in prose, and workshopping it with teammates before you start writing code.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and approach problems with a learning mindset.
• Open-minded, you enjoy collaborating across teams (engineering, design, product, marketing and more) and differing levels of experience, from entry level engineers to VPs.
• Willing to form well-considered, strong opinions, share those opinions, listen to others' opinions, and be open to changing your mind sometimes.
• A person who desires direct, clear, and kind feedback, and is willing to give the same to others, even when it's hard to do.
• A person who values the flexibility that comes with a remote team, while recognizing the extra effort that everyone has to put into communication and relationship-building.
• Contribute maintainable, well-tested, accessible and well-documented code to our various project repos.
• Work closely with a wide variety of internal collaborators - designers, marketers, education engineers, product engineers and leadership.
• Review and refactor code — help those around you grow through mentorship and pairing.
• Independently and collaboratively identify solutions to user (both internal and external) problems and build and iterate solutions.
• Improve the way that users consume our product documentation and work with product and education engineers to improve their authoring experience.
• Contribute to backend systems and APIs that power our sites.
• Partner with designers to implement front-end projects with animations, interaction and meticulous polish.
