About the team:

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 plugins that provide the interface and interactions between Terraform and the APIs that interact with infrastructure. Terraform Providers are responsible for understanding APIs and exposing resources for use with Terraform.

The Terraform Ecosystem Hybrid Cloud team manages a number of products, to include the Terraform provider for Google Cloud, the Kubernetes provider, the Helm provider, the vSphere provider, as well as the Terraform ServiceNow Integrations and HCP Terraform Operator for Kubernetes. In this role, you’re primarily responsible for development and maintenance of the officially supported Terraform Google Cloud Platform providers (google, google-beta) in close collaboration with the Google Terraform community, our Google partner team, and HashiCorp’s customers. These providers act as the interface between Terraform and Google Cloud Platform, requiring provider maintainers to have a high level of experience or knowledge of Google Cloud Platform.

What you’ll do (responsibilities):

• You will work with nearly every part of Google Cloud in the process of extending, maintaining and enhancing the Terraform Google Cloud providers
• You will be responsible for stewardship of the Terraform Google Cloud 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
• You will advocate for and support improvements to Terraform Core and the Terraform plugin SDK
• You will work closely with our Google partner team to support a strategic relationship
• You will conduct solution discovery as it relates to the Terraform Google provider.  Identifying options to both technical and business challenges, conducting experimentation of Proof of Concepts, capturing findings in written form (RFCs) to be shared with cross-functional and Google partner teams.

What you’ll need (basic qualifications):

• You have operated and maintained production systems in Google Cloud, or have extensive experience with the Google Cloud Platform Ecosystem
• You have a strong Software Engineering or DevOps background
• You have used Terraform & enjoy working with Go (previous Go experience is not required, Google Cloud experience is more important)
• You have experience in education, customer support, or OSS community support applicable to the Terraform community
• You are familiar with infrastructure management concepts and tools (infrastructure as code, software defined networking, virtualization, and the tools used to operate and maintain related systems)
