## About the role

We're hiring a Product Manager to own what it's like to build a Tailscale-native application — software with Tailscale connectivity and identity built in from the start. You'd own the original front door to that world: TSNet , the Go library that puts a Tailscale node inside an application in a few lines of code; tailscale-rs , our new Rust-based SDK family (including C++, Python, and Elixir); the tailscale CLI powering scripting, automation, and CI; and the core Tailscale client library.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years in product management, or a software engineering background moving into product, with real time spent on a developer-facing product: an SDK, API, CLI, library, or developer tool
- You've shipped developer-facing features that developers used in production, and lived with the consequences of your design choices — naming, defaults, error behavior, versioning
- You can read Go and/or Rust and hold a credible technical conversation about API and SDK design
- You have taste in developer experience: opinions about API ergonomics, docs, error messages, and getting-started flows, with examples to back them up
- You do customer research the way developer products require it — reading GitHub issues, lurking in Discord, running office hours, and finding the pattern in the noise
- You turn ambiguous scope into shipped increments, close the loop after launch, and keep teams informed along the way
