役割と責任

 

Team: Infrastructure Product Group Engineering (AKA Infrastructure Lifecycle management Eng)

 

Role Summary

 

We are seeking a Principal Engineer to lead the technical strategy for two critical initiatives that will define the future of Terraform: Agentic Resource Management and Accelerated Terraform Providers.

 

 

In this high-leverage role, you will architect the "connective tissue" that allows AI agents to orchestrate the Terraform golden workflow—driving usage, retention, and commercial differentiation. You will look beyond simple code generation to build systems where agents can actively manage resources, automate provider updates, and remediate infrastructure incidents

 

 

As a Principal Engineer at HashiCorp, you will operate as a force multiplier. You will not just build features but will act as a Sponsor for strategic programs, a Catalyst for experimental agentic workflows, and a Guide for the engineering team delivering these capabilities.

 

Team Overview

 

You will be the technical anchor for a team dedicated to accelerating AI workflows within IPG Org. This team is tasked to deliver impactful, commercially relevant features.

 

 

The team’s dual mandate is:

 

  1. Agentic Resource Management: Enabling partners (via Integrations SDK) and AI agents (via MCP Server) to orchestrate Terraform runs, plan analysis, and error remediation

  2. Accelerated Terraform Providers: Building automation into the provider ecosystem to rapidly expand coverage for new Terraform features like Search & Actions

Key Responsibilities

 

Using HashiCorp’s Principal Engineer Engagement Framework, you will adopt dynamic roles to ensure the success of these initiatives:

 

  • As a Sponsor (Strategic Leadership):

    • Drive the Agentic Resource Management Program: Lead the technical strategy for enabling "Code-to-Cloud" workflows where agents can fully manage the Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) workflow

    • Define the "Golden Workflow" for Agents: Architect how AI agents interact with Terraform Core and HCP Terraform.

    • Ensure Commercial Alignment: Oversee the delivery of commercial MCP features, ensuring they align with strategic pillars like "Realize Customer Value" and "Drive Commercial Differentiation"

  • As a Catalyst (Innovation Driver):

    • Prototype "Accelerated Provider" Agents: Build the initial proofs-of-concept for agents that can automatically key capabilities to support existing Terraform Providers (AWS, Azure, Google, OCI etc).

    • Kickstart Patch Management Workflows: creating the first "GitOps remediation" workflows where agents detect drift or errors and automatically generate patch pull requests

    • Validate Upgrade Assistants: Lead the technical exploration of AI-driven Terraform Version and Module upgrades to unburden customers from maintenance toil.

  • As a Guide (Technical Authority):

    • Architect the Commercial MCP Server: Provide deep oversight for the Terraform Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, ensuring it supports complex use cases like remote execution, account onboarding, and operational insights.

    • Mentor the Team: Guide the engineers on the team through the complexities of building reliable "Plan Analyzers" and "Error Analyzers" that customers can trust

    • Standardize Agent Patterns: Define the patterns for how our tools expose Prompts, Resources, and Tools to ecosystem partners like Azure Copilot, Amazon Q, and GitHub Copilot etc.

必要な専門的および技術的知識

  • Principal-Level Leadership: Ability to navigate ambiguity and switch contexts between high-level strategy (Sponsor) and hands-on prototyping (Catalyst)

  • AI & Agentic Architecture: Experience designing systems where AI agents act as autonomous operators (planning, applying, remediating) rather than just chat assistants

  • Deep Terraform Ecosystem Knowledge: Understanding of the Terraform Provider SDK and internal architecture is critical for the "Accelerated Providers" initiative

  • Standards & Protocols: Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and experience building tool-use interfaces for LLMs

  • Strategic Communication: Capable of authoring RFCs and influencing cross-functional stakeholders to secure alignment on AI strategies.
