Role

Who you are

If you're security-minded and live the production mindset, this role might be for you
Have strong experience in Linux systems, networking, containers, and troubleshooting
Have enough development experience to write scripts, automation, or lightweight programs or submit patches to the product codebase
Participate in on-call rotations, between 1/4 - 1/3 of the time
Operate in a team where sound security choices are critical
Have experience in or be willing to learn our preferred tooling:
Golang for coding and automation (and possibly rust)
Infrastructure as code using git, terraform, packer, etc
Kubernetes and Docker
Grafana / Prometheus / Loki
AWS Cloud
Drone.io
Teleport
And a slew of technologies and tools we haven't chosen yet

What the job involves

Here's what the cloud team is currently focusing on:
We are re-engineering the core teleport product to scale globally and optimize routing latency for teams distributed around the world
Re-writing portions of the core Teleport product to enable our goals for the cloud product
We are building out our monitoring and observability stack to alert us to production issues and minimize false positives so we can all get a good sleep at night
We are constantly investing in our security posture, whether by red-teaming, security audits, better tooling, audit, and more
We are investing in our automation to tackle and eliminate the highest toil activities
And executing on traditional operation challenges, such as patching, scaling, backup and restore, disaster recovery, and more
And investigating the outages and incidents our customers experience with our product

Application process

We will send you a 20-30 minute SRE quiz
You will join a 30-minute intro call with our recruiting team, and we will walk you through the compensation, interview process and requirements
You will join a 45 minutes call with the hiring manager to walk through the interview challenges and answer questions about the interview, team, and company
You will go through a remote-friendly and challenging interview
The interview is a mix of an automation challenge and a simulated troubleshooting session

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.
