Summary
Christopher Steinmeyer is a cloud infrastructure leader and former software engineer with 11+ years building and operating large-scale systems, now directing Infrastructure Engineering at HashiCorp after leading Terraform Enterprise and Weedmaps’ infra teams. He blends hands-on software craftsmanship (Ruby, JavaScript, Java) with deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes/Rancher, Terraform, Vault, CI/CD, and observability stacks to help teams ship quickly, securely, and reliably.
