We help companies stay secure while moving fast.

Built by engineers for engineers, The Teleport Access Platform delivers on-demand, least privileged access to infrastructure based on cryptographic identity and zero trust, with built-in identity security and policy governance, making the happy path for engineers the secure path.
Teleport is trusted by the world’s fastest-moving companies, including Elastic, Snowflake, Doordash, and NASDAQ. We recently raised US$110M at a US$1.1B valuation.

Our Vision

Today's computing environments have too much complexity, too many network boundaries, and too little trust. Complexity slows engineers down and leads to human errors. Complex systems can’t be secure despite the red tape of bureaucracy. We make trusted computing simple. This gives engineers the freedom to move and build a better future.

Why Teleport

At Teleport, we focus on empowering our people to accomplish their goals by working alongside highly talented people to make the most of their careers. You have the freedom, autonomy and trust to do what you’re great at and have a significant impact on the future prospects of the company.
Whether that’s taking a feature or project from ideation to deployment or working with some of the biggest, most interesting companies in the world and solving real challenges for them, we want you to help us build the future.
We’re not a big company. You won’t get lost in a crowd. Instead, we move fast, with a team that wants to make an impact, that shares in our success, and gives you the freedom, power, and autonomy to become the very best at what you do.

Who you are - To succeed at Teleport and take your career into the future, we are looking for people who are:

  • Security-minded: Working on the very fabric of the internet and providing infrastructure access to some of the world’s biggest companies means you need to think security-first. Our platform is the gatekeeper - The Wall. And winter is coming. We need to ensure we’re secure.
  • Business-savvy: We don’t code for coding's sake. We build for our customers. Designed by engineers for engineers, we understand their environment, challenges and needs better than anyone else. That means we have built a business that can support them by making the right choices that ensure we are in business for the long haul.
  • Professional: We are a team of dedicated professionals, committed to excellence. We set a high bar for joining Teleport, ensuring we attract top talent ready to help shape the future. If you’re passionate about being the best at what you do, Teleport is the place for you

- It means removing the bureaucracy and red tape that stifles innovation while giving you access to all the information you need to build and take action more quickly.
- It means allowing you to have the career you’ve always wanted today, rather than having to “earn your stripes” and wait for the right moment. If you’re good enough, you’re good enough.
But we don’t stop there.
In addition to the career opportunities at Teleport, we offer a whole range of benefits that help you to maximize your future, including:

Do you have what it takes?

Get to use (and know) Teleport through our unique interview process
At Teleport, we do things a bit differently. And when we say we only hire top talent, we actually mean it. Because of this, our interview process is different too - and we’re proud of it. We let your work do the talking. We don’t go in for six rounds of interviews, live whiteboard or live-coding. We don’t hire people that can talk a good game. We only want the best. And for that, we need to see what you can do, in your own time, in your own way. For real.
But interviews are a two-way street. Through the project, you’ll get a real taste of life at Teleport, including:
- We’re flexible - you’ll have plenty of time to complete your project, if life gets in the way, that’s ok. We can - work around you.
- We give you autonomy - you’ll have the space and freedom to figure things out, make decisions, and problem-solve.
- We’re collaborative - Got questions?
- We have answers. You’ll have support from your team - the one you’ll be working with day in day out if you’re successful in getting the role.
- We progress careers - During the project, see how much you learn. That’s what working at Teleport is like. We like learning, on the job. All-the-time.
- We can move fast (if you can) - two weeks sound like a long time? No problem? Early submissions are fine, and we’ll keep the process moving.
Think you’ve got what it takes? We’d love to see it! Unconvinced? We can guarantee three things:
- It’ll challenge you.
- You'll learn a lot.
- If you love the process, you'll love working at Teleport.
