Company mission

To make trusted computing simple, giving engineers freedom to move and freedom to build a better future.

Role

Who you are

  • Autonomous: those that want to “get sh!t done”. They want their work to speak for itself and want the power to make decisions they believe are best for the company and its customers. The future is in your hands
  • Security-minded: Working on the very fabric of the internet and providing infrastructure access to some of the world’s biggest companies means you need to think security-first. Our platform is the gatekeeper - The Wall. And winter is coming. We need to ensure we’re secure
  • Business-savvy: We don’t code for coding's sake. We build for our customers. Designed by engineers for engineers, we understand their environment, challenges and needs better than anyone else. That means we have built a business that can support them by making the right choices that ensure we are in business for the long haul
  • THE BEST: We are a senior team. Full of smart people. We don’t accept anybody and we make it hard to join. That means we only take the best talent for Teleport—those who are meant to be part of building the future. If you think you are the best at what you do, then a career at Teleport is for you
  • Golang experience
  • Linux systems engineering
  • Cryptography engineering experience is a plus

What the job involves

  • You will be joining engineering team of Teleport, unified access plane for SSH, Kubernetes and Database infrastructure
  • Nasdaq, SumoLogic and Samsung Electronics trust Teleport to secure access to their infrastructure
  • Teleport is an open source project, written in Golang with web-based UIs in JavaScript with React
  • Here are the projects you may be working on:
  • Building backend integrations with cloud provider's managed databases
  • Working on scalability and resiliency of clusters with 10K+ nodes
  • Implementing advanced HTTPS proxy with identity aware access control
  • Building hardened security for Linux and Mac users

Application process

  • What to expect once you apply:
  • You will join 30 minute intro call and we will walk you through the compensation, interview process and requirements
  • You join a slack channel and submit a coding challenge in Golang or Rust using Github

Our take

For the millions of companies that have complex layers of tech, Teleport offers a single sign-on bringing discovery and instant access to these layers. This means freedom from having to hop between VPNs and multiple access points while handling shared secrets and sensitive data.

This enables engineers to quickly access any computing resource anywhere on the planet, bringing a unification of access to SSH servers, Kubernetes clusters, and web applications across all environments. It's a smart move because complexity and security go hand in hand - slow engineers leave companies open to poor safety standards.

Trusted by organisations like Airtable, Samsung, and Auth0, Teleport is the unified access plane of choice among many leading companies. It continues to update the platform with new features, such as adding a string of improvements to deal with the security challenges arising from remote work environments. Teleport has also raised significant funding that is supporting the expansion of the team and enhancing its product development.

Company values

  • We write it down - Writing things down helps to preserve and share our thoughts, leads to smarter work and more scalable growth.
  • We are professionals - We treat each other the same way we treat our customers: with respect.
  • We think slow - Slow, academic, logical, calculating, conscious, even “boring” contemplation leads to better decisions.
  • We are drivers, not passengers - Drivers take control, responsibility and influence outcomes.
  • We are builders - Ideas themselves are useless. Building something new starts with unglamorous, tedious work that sets the foundation for scale later.
  • We lift each other up - We never elevate ourselves at someone’s expense.
  • We assume the principle of charity - When communication is brief and something is unclear, we assume that the other person is just as smart as we are, and is acting in good faith.
  • We value each other’s time - We put the extra effort into making it easy for others to work with us. We respect being “in the zone” and understand the cost of context shifting.
