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
HashiCorp’s Terraform is an open source project that enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve production infrastructure via the command line. It codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared among team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned. Terraform Providers are responsible for the interface and interactions between Terraform and the required APIs to interact with the infrastructure.
The Terraform Azure Providers team is primarily responsible for the development and maintenance of the officially supported Azure Terraform providers (azurerm, azuread) in close collaboration with the Azure Terraform community, Microsoft, and HashiCorp’s customers. These providers act as the interface between Terraform and Azure requiring provider maintainers to have a high level of experience or knowledge of Azure.
In addition to the providers, we maintain automation tooling, SDKs, and generate our own Go Azure SDKs.
In this role, you can expect to:
- Work with nearly every part of Azure in the process of extending, maintaining, and enhancing the Azure providers
- Be responsible for stewardship of the Azure providers by supporting internal, community and partner contributors with guidance, supportive and constructive code reviews, documentation improvements, mentorship, and changes required to make our users successful
- Advocate and support improvements to Terraform Core and the Terraform plugin SDK
- Work closely with Microsoft to support a strategic partnership
