Job description

About 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, Doordash, and Elastic to secure infrastructure for an AI world.

Here is why we love this job ourselves, and hope you will enjoy it too:

  • We use a modern and innovative approach to solving traditional IT problems spanning Infrastructure as Code (IaC), shell scripting, and workflow automation tooling like Temporal/Go.

  • 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.

Here are the projects you may be working on:

  • Building our next generation IT workflow automation tooling using Temporal and Go running on Kubernetes.

  • Collaborate with the engineering team on dogfooding Teleport, specifically Teleport Identity (identity governance) and Teleport Policy (access policies).

  • Building hardened security & automation for macOS endpoints.

  • 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.

What to expect once you apply:

  • You will join 30 minute intro call and we will walk you through the compensation, interview process, and requirements

  • You join a Slack channel and submit a coding challenge using Terraform and shell scripts (or Go) using Github.

Requirements:

  • 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.

  • Programming experience in Go. Experience with Temporal is a bonus.

  • Linux systems engineering experience, Kubernetes

  • IaC (Terraform) and shell scripting experience.

  • IT security & administration experience.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with data warehousing concepts and platforms such as AWS Redshift, Fivetran, and DBT

Why Teleport
