Job Description

We’re seeking a skilled and diligent full-time Software Engineer to join our growing team. You’ll be joining our growth-focused team which is looking to expand our footprint of new users and provide an excellent integration experience for external developers. You will work as part of the engineering team to:

• Develop the Tailscale product, contributing to client code and related services.
• Bring a special focus to developing features related to our Kubernetes operator, API, and integrations.

Because we’re an early-stage and fully remote company, we’re looking for a strongly motivated individual who can help move the product forward. The ability to think on your feet, collaborate with highly technical teams, and comfort working asynchronously are essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Work as part of a team of engineers and designers to add features in the Tailscale service.
• Take a holistic view of the product, from customer needs to client applications to the admin console.
• Develop features that support a broad range of functionalities for Kubernetes integrating with Tailscale.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience with developing operators for Kubernetes.
• Experience with developing robust Kubernetes control loops.
• Familiarity with networks (IP addressing, routing, etc.).
• Ability to give and process constructive feedback, as well as work independently.
• Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup.
• Experience with Go is a plus. (Most of the non-front-end portions of the system are developed in the Go programming language.)
• Experience with internals of Kubernetes networking is a plus.

As a company, we strive to maintain fair and equitable compensation practices within our team across all roles and all levels. Tailscale's compensation package includes base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The salary range displayed on each job posting represents the target range for a new hire's base salary. Individual offers may vary based on experience and skill set.

• A competitive total compensation package. This includes a base salary, an equity incentive plan, and variable commission (for quota-based roles).
• Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period. Take advantage of coverage for health, vision, dental, and more for you and your family!
• All-remote with the opportunity to work from anywhere—enjoy a change of scenery wherever you can get wifi, participate in virtual and in-person social events, and leverage our corporate co-working program to visit WeWork (or other similar spaces near you).
• Support for your personal and professional development. Grow your career thoughtfully with $1500 USD annually for professional development, or take advantage of mentorship, coaching, and internal promotion opportunities.
• Paid time off and a healthy work-life integration. Our flexible, paid time off program supports you for any situation life throws your way, whether moving homes or traveling the world! We encourage all Tailscalars to take 4-6 weeks of vacation annually.
• A build-your-own home office setup. You choose your own company-owned laptop (Mac or PC), receive a monthly home internet reimbursement, and $1000 USD to customize your workstation to make it your own.
• Generous parental leave program from your first day. We care about your life outside of work and encourage new parents to take advantage of parental leave top-ups for up to 26 weeks.
