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 work on a wide range of IT projects including automation, security, networking, and building integrations.

• We value modern IT tooling and novel approaches to traditional problems.

• We prefer working autonomously and asynchronously, proactively identifying and addressing issues, and operating with a builder's mindset.

• We practice thorough code reviews and have an open design process.

• Our products are loved by their users.
