About the team

The HashiCorp Cloud Identity engineering team builds and operates services that underpin the user account, authentication & authorization management capabilities for all HashiCorp Cloud products.  We make it easy for new users to get started with Consul, Nomad, Vault, Terraform, Packer, and Vagrant by making the sign-up flow as intuitive as possible.  We help larger customers by making it easier for them to manage their users and groups in the cloud via standard and compliance-friendly protocols.  These essential platform features must remain highly secure, scalable, and reliable as our customers depend on them to manage their infrastructure.
