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
- Willingness and ability to roll up your sleeves and work across traditional IT tasks - setting up and debugging IT tools, Okta, Rippling, Zendesk, helping internal customers with their setup (helpdesk), and dive deep into K8s and Go + Temporal

- Linux systems engineering experience, Kubernetes
- IaC (Terraform) and shell scripting experience
- IT security & administration experience

- We work on a wide range of IT problems including networking, security, and integrations with existing systems
- Our products are loved by their users
- We practice thorough code reviews and have an open design process
- Building our next generation IT workflow automation tooling using Temporal and Go running on Kubernetes

- Writing IT automation using tools like Terraform, shell scripts, and Go
- Writing integrations with tools like Panther, Jamf Pro, Okta, Rippling, Google Chrome Enterprise
- Traditional IT Helpdesk tasks of helping internal customers with access, lockout, integrations, and configuration

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.
