Your role and responsibilities

HashiCorp's [1] 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 responsible for the interface and interactions between Terraform and the required APIs to interact with the infrastructure.

The Terraform Azure Providers team is primarily responsible for the development and maintenance of the officially supported Azure Terraform providers ([2] azurerm, [3] azuread) in close collaboration with the Azure Terraform community, Microsoft, and HashiCorp's customers. These providers act as the interface between Terraform and Azure requiring provider maintainers to have a high level of experience or knowledge of Azure.

In addition to the providers, we maintain automation tooling, SDKs, and generate our own Go Azure SDKs.

In this role, you can expect to :
