Teleport is the AI Infrastructure Identity Company, solving critical security challenges by providing cryptographically secured identities for humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents. The company works with enterprises like Nasdaq, DoorDash, and Elastic to secure infrastructure for an AI-driven world.
You will join one of Teleport's access teams as a product-focused systems engineer working on the Teleport Core Product. This role spans the full product lifecycle: understanding customer problems, writing RFDs for proposed designs, implementing, testing, and documenting solutions. Most code is open source, written in Go.
Key responsibilities include:
- Becoming an expert on scalability, performance, and reliability of Teleport in large deployments
- Designing, developing, and shipping high-quality products
- Building secure, passwordless access to infrastructure using short-lived credentials at scale
- Improving observability, tracing, and failure handling for the access layer
- Leading a distributed team of outstanding engineers
- Growing your technical expertise alongside the team
The interview process is streamlined and respectful: a recruiter conversation, a hiring manager meeting to discuss a coding challenge, a 2-week take-home Go coding challenge (completed on your schedule with team support), and a final review meeting. If your solution meets the bar, you receive an offer.
Teleport is remote-first and globally distributed, emphasizing autonomy, collaboration, and direct impact on the product. The company focuses on making your day-to-day exceptional through autonomy, access, and support for your best work.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Willingness to complete a Go coding challenge as part of the interview process
- Builder mentality and zero-to-one product experience
- Extensive Go experience
- Extensive experience developing scalable, reliable, and performant distributed systems and platforms
- Strong team leadership and management experience
- Linux systems engineering experience
- Knowledge of Identity Management, RBAC, ABAC, and zero-trust security models
- Intellectual curiosity and willingness to master new technologies
- Transparency, honesty, and no-ego mindset
- Significant open source contributions (a plus)
