Teleport is the AI Infrastructure Identity Company, providing cryptographically secured identity for humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents. The company works with enterprises like Nasdaq, DoorDash, and Elastic to secure infrastructure for an AI world.
Teleport Cloud is launching a SaaS version of the company's access plane, and the team is building production infrastructure from scratch. This is a foundational engineering effort combining security, reliability, and product innovation.
In this Staff SRE role, you will:
- Re-engineer the core Teleport product to scale globally and optimize routing latency for distributed teams
- Rewrite portions of the core product to enable cloud-specific goals
- Build out the monitoring and observability stack to alert on production issues and minimize false positives
- Develop automation to eliminate high-toil operational activities
- Execute on traditional operational challenges: patching, scaling, backup/restore, disaster recovery
- Investigate customer-facing outages and incidents
- Participate in 24/7/365 on-call rotation
Most code is written in Go. The team is remote-first and globally distributed, though onboarding requires one week in-person at the Oakland, CA office.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8+ years of progressive experience in Software Engineering and/or SRE/DevOps roles
- Strong Linux systems, networking, containers, and troubleshooting expertise
- Solid Go and production Kubernetes development experience
- Technical leadership experience
- Strong experience with scripting, automation, submitting patches to product codebases, or building tooling that incorporates AI agents into operational workflows
- AWS cloud experience (preferred); GCP acceptable
- Systems observability tools: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, etc.
- Experience operating in security-critical environments where reasoning about correctness and system invariants is valued
- Intellectual curiosity, transparency, honesty, no-ego mindset, and excellent communication skills
- Willingness to complete a collaborative Go coding challenge as part of the interview process
