Web Engineer I

About the team 

The Web Presence team is a hybrid group of designers and engineers who are responsible for delivering high-quality web experiences that support HashiCorp’s go-to-market efforts. This includes various websites like www.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.

We are looking for a web engineer to join the team working on hashicorp.com and directly contribute to our CMS and frontend stack. Our web experience is our most important tool to tell a cohesive and clear story about our product and company.

We partner with Marketing, Design, and various other stakeholders to shape the user journey and build out experiences that delight our visitors.  We look for opportunities that enrich our go-to-market strategies that directly contribute to our sales pipeline, product adoption, and revenue.
