About the role
We’re seeking a talented software engineer, specializing in security and infrastructure, to help grow our product security team. We’re looking for people who can move Tailscale forward while making it safer to use. The abilities to think on your feet, collaborate with highly technical teams, and be comfortable working asynchronously are essential.
What they're looking for
- 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
