Description

  • Own the technical direction and architecture of Tailscale’s next-generation web console.
  • Define application structure, routing, state boundaries, shared abstractions, and maintainability standards for the frontend.
  • Design and maintain cross-origin authentication and session infrastructure, including auth flows, CORS policies, CSRF protections, and cookie/session strategies.
  • Build and operate a frontend serving platform that can host multiple Tailscale products within a unified development workflow.
  • Establish shared infrastructure, conventions, design patterns, and guardrails that unify distinct product experiences into a cohesive console platform.
  • Create frontend patterns, tooling, and abstractions that help non-frontend engineers build accessible, production-quality UI safely and efficiently.
  • Partner with Product Design to translate complex infrastructure and identity concepts into intuitive user experiences.
  • Collaborate with Growth, Design, Product, and engineering teams on experimentation, analytics instrumentation, A/B testing, and feature rollout strategies.
  • Define and improve frontend testing strategy, including integration testing, end-to-end coverage, and local developer ergonomics.
  • Improve local development workflows, build pipelines, preview deployments, release ergonomics, and operational reliability with infrastructure and tooling teams.
  • Provide technical leadership through reviews, mentoring, and platform guardrails, and participate in the on-call rotation to triage and mitigate incidents.

Requirements

  • Deep experience building and operating production React applications at scale.
  • Strong understanding of web platform fundamentals, including HTTP semantics, browser security boundaries, authentication flows, cookies, storage, CORS, and CSRF.
  • Experience building internal platforms, frameworks, or shared libraries that enable other teams to ship products with strong guardrails.
  • Experience driving a unified console or platform vision across disparate frontend codebases.
  • Strong judgment around frontend architecture, including when to standardize, when to abstract, and how to keep systems understandable as they grow.
  • Experience designing scalable frontend testing strategies that improve confidence while hiding incidental complexity from product engineers.
  • Comfort collaborating across disciplines and functions, especially with design, growth, infrastructure, and developer tooling.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain tradeoffs and influence technical direction across teams.
  • High degree of ownership and autonomy, with the ability to identify important problems and drive them through ambiguity.
  • Experience with design systems, component libraries, and connecting design tooling to production UI workflows (preferred).
  • Experience with feature flagging, analytics, experimentation systems, and progressive delivery patterns (preferred).
  • Experience working on identity, admin, B2B SaaS, or security-sensitive product surfaces (preferred).
  • Experience designing frontend codebases and tooling optimized for AI-assisted development, including conventions and abstractions that help LLM-based agents produce correct, consistent UI with fewer iterations (preferred).

Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package with base salary, equity incentive plan, and variable commission for quota-based roles.
  • CAN pay range of $242,540 to $302,840 CAD.
  • Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period, including health, vision, dental, and family coverage.
  • Remote-first work environment with flexibility to work where you have wifi, plus virtual and in-person social events and a co-working program.
  • $1,500 USD annually for professional development, plus mentorship, coaching, and internal promotion opportunities.
  • Flexible paid time off to support work-life integration.
  • Home office setup support, including a company-owned laptop, monthly home internet reimbursement, and $1,000 USD to customize your workstation.
  • Generous parental leave with top-ups for up to 26 weeks from your first day.
