Job description
from Teleport careersAbout Teleport
Don't wait for the future of infrastructure. Be part of it.
Teleport is the AI Infrastructure Identity Company. We're solving one of the hardest problems in security: giving every human, machine, workload, and AI agent a cryptographically secured identity, improving engineering velocity while maintaining security. We make trusted computing simple. This gives you the freedom, power, and autonomy to build and innovate with confidence.
Remote-first and globally distributed, we work with companies like Nasdaq, IBM, DoorDash, and Elastic to secure infrastructure for an AI world.
About Us
Teleport is the Infrastructure Identity Company, modernizing identity, access, and policy for infrastructure, improving engineering velocity and resiliency of critical infrastructure against human factors and/or compromise.
We are a fast-growing, well-funded Y-Combinator company. We value our craft, are strong supporters of work/life balance, and embrace a culture of humility, honesty, and transparency.
About this job
We are looking for product-focused systems engineers to work on Teleport itself.
You will work on problems ranging from networking and performance to security and integrations with external systems.
You will work on the full product lifecycle from working with customers to understand their problems, writing RFDs for your proposed design, implementation, testing, and documentation.
Teleport is an open core project and most of the code you will write will be open source and written in Go (or Rust).
