What the job involves
- We’re looking for a technical and experienced Content Marketing Specialist to join the marketing team at Tailscale
- You will be working closely with sales, product marketing, and other marketing teams to transform product positioning and messaging into content
- This role will be a good fit if you’re familiar with networking infrastructure, developer tooling, or enterprise security needs, and can communicate technical features as easy-to-digest benefits
- Because we’re an early-stage and fully remote company, we’re looking for an individual who is comfortable working asynchronously and thrives in ambiguity
- Participate in the development and refinement of product positioning and messaging, then synthesize it into effective content for a technical audience
- Collaborate with sales, product marketing, growth marketing, web development, design, and more to identify, develop, and produce effective content
- Become an expert on our users and customers, understanding who they are, their pain points, etc
- Create purposeful content that convinces and helps drive sales, including but not limited to: landing pages, one-pagers, case studies, slide decks, white papers, blog posts, ad copy, and more
- Position Tailscale as a thought leader in networking and security, and increase awareness of these issues through impactful content
Our take
The internet is a global phenomenon, but often online activity is unprotected which leaves users vulnerable to hackers on public networks. Additionally certain sites are inaccessible or censored depending on the users location. Use of a VPN enables a secure connection through an encrypted virtual tunnel which also disguises IP addresses. Traditional VPN's tunnel all network traffic through a central gateway server which can affect reliability, and VPN's almost always slow connection speed.
Tailscale is a VPN service built on top of a secure network fabric, which is unlike a traditional VPN provider as it ensures encrypted point-to-point connections by using the open source WireGuard protocol. Tailscale is configured, on average, in a matter of minutes, while other solutions take weeks to fully implement and then require several hours a week of maintenance.
The product has been well received, with reviewers agreeing that it is easy to set up and a great tool for developers. The company plans to develop its product further by tackling the complexity of software and confronting operational problems that people face daily. Off the back of impressive 2025 funding, Tailscale is expanding its engineering, product and sales teams as well as its global reach, all to empower small teams to build systems that scale, without scaling overhead.
