About the team

The HashiCorp Cloud Identity engineering teams build and operate services that underpin user account, organization, authentication, and 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.
