We help companies stay secure while moving fast.
Built by engineers for engineers, 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 worldâs fastest-moving companies, including Elastic, Discord, Doordash, and NASDAQ. We recently raised US$110M at a US$1.1B valuation.
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 canât 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 youâre great at and have a significant impact on the future prospects of the company.
Whether thatâs 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.
Weâre not a big company. You wonât 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.
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.

Teleport is an open core project and most of the code you will write will be open source and written in Go (or Rust).
The Platform Security team is focused on application security for the Teleport product. This team implements security controls and works with security researchers to find and fix security vulnerabilities.

It means removing the bureaucracy and red tape that stifles innovation while giving you access to all the information you need to build and take action more quickly.
It means allowing you to have the career youâve always wanted today, rather than having to âearn your stripesâ and wait for the right moment. If youâre good enough, youâre good enough.

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 weâre proud of it. We let your work do the talking. We donât go in for six rounds of interviews, live whiteboard or live-coding. We donât 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, youâll get a real taste of life at Teleport, including:
Weâre flexible - youâll have plenty of time to complete your project, if life gets in the way, thatâs ok. We can - work around you.
We give you autonomy - youâll have the space and freedom to figure things out, make decisions, and problem-solve.
Weâre collaborative - Got questions?
We have answers. Youâll have support from your team - the one youâll be working with day in day out if youâre successful in getting the role.
We progress careers - During the project, see how much you learn. Thatâs 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 weâll keep the process moving.
Think youâve got what it takes? Weâd love to see it! Unconvinced? We can guarantee three things:
Itâll challenge you.
You'll learn a lot.
If you love the process, you'll love working at Teleport.
