The connectivity platform for devs, IT, and security teams. Zero Trust identity-based access that deploys in minutes and scales to every resource. Start free. Backed by Accel, Insight and CRV.
About the role
We are seeking a Product Manager to own Tailscale's Identity ecosystem — the bridge between our "Zero Trust" networking philosophy and the existing identity infrastructure our customers already rely on. Identity is the foundation of access control in Tailscale; if a user cannot authenticate or authorize correctly, the network cannot be secure. In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex security protocols (OIDC, SAML, SCIM) and a seamless, "it just works" user experience. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 4–7 years in product management, with direct ownership of an identity product or platform
- Strong technical fluency in identity protocols: Comfortable engaging engineers as a peer on OIDC, SAML, SCIM, WebAuthn, and OAuth flows
- Experience shipping products for developer or security-focused audiences: You understand the friction points of modern IAM and know how to build tools that admins and developers actually enjoy using
- Demonstrated ability to own a product area end to end: Strategy, roadmap, execution, and the customer relationships that keep you honest
- Operational mindset: You understand that for an identity product, downtime or misconfiguration isn't just a bug—it’s a security event
