Sr. Product Manager - Terraform Search

Overview

Terraform has redefined how infrastructure is provisioned and managed, but visibility and discovery remain critical challenges for organizations operating at scale. Terraform is expanding in its workflows to enable resource discovery, compliance enforcement, and real-time infrastructure insights for both managed and unmanaged infrastructure.

We are seeking an experienced Product Manager to lead and define this effort creating new primitives and workflows that allow organizations to discover, assess, and integrate infrastructure into Terraform. This role will focus on proactive resource discovery, compliance enforcement, and highly reactive remediation capabilities—ensuring Terraform is not just a provisioning tool but also a powerful infrastructure intelligence platform.

This is a 0 to 1 product—you will define new workflows, build innovative discovery experiences, and shape how Terraform evolves to manage infrastructure in real-time.

Responsibilities

• Product Strategy and Vision:
• Define and execute the strategy for this space, creating new primitives and workflows for resource discovery at scale.
• Develop intelligent search capabilities to detect and identify unmanaged infrastructure across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Build native Terraform workflows that allow users to import unmanaged infrastructure seamlessly, ensuring consistency across environments.
• Enable real-time compliance detection, allowing organizations to proactively find and remediate non-compliant resources.
• Work closely with Terraform Core and Cloud teams to integrate new workflows into existing infrastructure management workflows

Real-Time Search and Resource Discovery:

• Build highly reactive infrastructure detection capabilities, allowing teams to respond to changes in managed and unmanaged resources in real-time.
• Enable continuous inventory tracking, ensuring that all resources—whether defined in Terraform or not—are surfaced and classified.
• Develop Terraform-native discovery workflows, ensuring teams can easily track which resources are managed, unmanaged, or in violation of policies.

Workflow and Experience Design:

• Design first-class search experiences that help teams query, discover, and assess their infrastructure at scale.
• Create automated workflows that enable users to bring unmanaged infrastructure under Terraform control with minimal friction.
• Provide visibility into infrastructure state changes, ensuring organizations maintain compliance and avoid configuration drift.

Roadmap Prioritization and Delivery

• Own and manage the roadmap, prioritizing high-impact features that improve resource discovery and infrastructure governance.
• Develop and maintain Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) and collaborate with engineering to bring this new workflow to life.
• Collaboration Across Terraform and Compliance Ecosystem:
• Partner with Terraform Core, Cloud, and Policy teams to enable real-time compliance detection for both managed and unmanaged infrastructure.
• Work with compliance and security teams to provide deep visibility into infrastructure drift, misconfigurations, and policy violations.
• Go-to-Market Support:
• Collaborate with marketing, sales, and support teams to position this effort as standard for infrastructure discovery and compliance.
• Engage with Terraform practitioners and enterprise customers to iterate and refine search workflows based on real-world infrastructure challenges.

Skills and Experience

• 5+ years of product management experience with developer tools, infrastructure automation, cloud security, or observability platforms.
• Strong technical understanding of Terraform, Infrastructure-as-Code, and Cloud Resource Management (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
• Ideally, experience with search, indexing, and real-time infrastructure discovery workflows.
• Strong technical acumen with a focus on building real-time search experiences and automation-driven workflows.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams (engineering, design, security, and operations) to build search-driven infrastructure tools.

Why HCP Terraform?

Terraform has revolutionized infrastructure provisioning, but organizations still struggle with visibility into their infrastructure. Unmanaged resources, configuration drift, and compliance gaps create risk and inefficiency at scale.

By leading this initiative, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Terraform as a full-lifecycle infrastructure management tool. Your work will empower teams to automate discovery, enforce compliance, and seamlessly integrate unmanaged resources into Terraform workflows.

This is your opportunity to define the next evolution of Terraform workflows—moving beyond provisioning to proactive, intelligent infrastructure management.
