Job Description

• Design and build security controls across diverse layers (e.g., cloud platforms, OS, Kubernetes, networks, CI/CD) to defend against sophisticated adversaries and insider threats. • Improve the security properties of Tailscale by identifying opportunities for security and privacy features, bug fixes, defense-in-depth, and implementing them across our codebase. • Audit Tailscale infrastructure for technical security weaknesses, identifying mitigations or solutions, and driving them towards resolution. • Support engineering decisions with threat modeling and security analysis and expertise. • You will spend 25-50% of your time in this role writing software vs purely operational or governance security responsibilities.

Job Requirements

  • Expertise in the security of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS), especially securing multi-cloud networks and infrastructure, and designing cloud agnostic systems
  • Familiarity with container security, orchestration security, and authentication/authorization
  • Familiarity with internet/web security fundamentals: WAF’s, TLS, PKI, DNS security, etc.
  • Proficiency developing in at least one programming language (Tailscale uses Go) and Infrastructure as Code tooling (e.g. Terraform, Ansible)
  • Prior experience in a safety-related technical role, e.g.: infrastructure security, security operations, threat modeling and prioritization, digital forensics and incident response
  • Knowledge of operating system internals and security mechanisms
  • Knowledge of common networking protocols
  • Act as a Subject Matter Expert during security incidents, focusing on infrastructure-level containment and remediation

Benefits

  • An inclusive, flexible environment where you can be your authentic self.
  • A competitive total compensation package.
  • Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period.
  • Remote first company—most of our teams work fully remotely.
  • Connect with other Tailscalars IRL.
  • Support for your personal and professional development.
  • Paid time off and a healthy work-life integration.
  • A build-your-own home office setup.
  • Generous parental leave program from your first day.
