We help companies stay secure while moving fast.
Teleport is trusted by the world’s most innovative companies who refuse to trade agility for security. By consolidating all aspects of infrastructure access into a single identity-native access management platform, Teleport reduces attack surface area, cuts operational overhead, easily enforces compliance, and improves productivity.
Built by engineers for engineers, Teleport’s modern infrastructure access platform improves the efficiency of engineering teams, fortifying infrastructure against bad actors or errors, and simplifying compliance and audit reporting. The Teleport Access Platform delivers on-demand, least privileged access to infrastructure based on cryptographic identity and zero trust, with built-in identity security and policy governance, making the happy path for engineers the secure path.
Teleport is trusted by the world’s fastest-moving companies, including Elastic, Snowflake, Doordash, and NASDAQ. We recently raised US$110M at a US$1.1B valuation. We are changing the fabric of the internet, helping to make it more secure and allowing our customers to build a better future.
Our Vision
Today's computing environments have too much complexity, too many network boundaries, and too little trust. Complexity slows engineers down and leads to human errors. Complex systems can’t be secure despite the red tape of bureaucracy. We make trusted computing simple. This gives engineers the freedom to move and build a better future.
Why Teleport
At Teleport, we focus on empowering our people to accomplish their goals by working alongside highly talented people to make the most of their careers. You have the freedom, autonomy and trust to do what you’re great at and have a significant impact on the future prospects of the company. 
Whether that’s taking a feature or project from ideation to deployment or working with some of the biggest, most interesting companies in the world and solving real challenges for them, we want you to help us build the future.
At Teleport, you have the opportunity to work on the very fabric of the internet, learn new skills and how businesses operate, join a talented team solving complex problems with cutting-edge technologies, and, ultimately, compress your career progression and meet your personal objectives fast. 
We’re not a big company. You won’t get lost in a crowd. Instead, we move fast, with a team that wants to make an impact, that shares in our success, and gives you the freedom, power, and autonomy to become the very best at what you do.
Come experience the future at Teleport.

You will be joining engineering team of Teleport, unified access plane for SSH, Kubernetes and Database infrastructure.
Nasdaq, SumoLogic and Samsung Electronics trust Teleport to secure access to their infrastructure.
Teleport is an open source project, written in Golang with web-based UIs in JavaScript with React.

Who you are - To succeed at Teleport and take your career into the future, we are looking for people who are:

  • 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

    Get to use (and know) Teleport through our unique interview process 
    At Teleport, we do things a bit differently. And when we say we only hire top talent, we actually mean it. Because of this, our interview process is different too - and we’re proud of it.  We let your work do the talking. We don’t go in for six rounds of interviews, live whiteboard or live-coding. We don’t hire people that can talk a good game. We only want the best. And for that, we need to see what you can do,  in your own time, in your own way.  For real.
    But interviews are a two-way street. Through the project, you’ll get a real taste of life at Teleport, including: 
    - We’re flexible - you’ll have plenty of time to complete your project, if life gets in the way, that’s ok. We can - work around you. 
    - We give you autonomy  - you’ll have the space and freedom to figure things out, make decisions, and problem-solve.
    - We’re collaborative -  Got questions?
    - We have answers. You’ll have support from your team - the one you’ll be working with day in day out if you’re successful in getting the role.
    - We progress careers - During the project,  see how much you learn. That’s what working at Teleport is like. We like learning, on the job. All-the-time. 
    - We can move fast (if you can) - two weeks sound like a long time? No problem? Early submissions are fine, and we’ll keep the process moving. 
    Think you’ve got what it takes? We’d love to see it! Unconvinced? We can guarantee three things: 
    - It’ll challenge you.
    - You'll learn a lot. 
    - If you love the process, you'll love working at Teleport.
