Description

  • Improve Tailscale’s security and privacy posture by identifying and implementing features, bug fixes, and defense-in-depth improvements across the codebase.
  • Audit features for technical security weaknesses and drive mitigations or fixes to resolution.
  • Support engineering decisions with threat modeling, security analysis, and technical expertise.
  • Write software for at least 50% of the role, rather than focusing only on operational or governance security work.
  • Collaborate with highly technical engineering teams to move security work forward asynchronously.
  • Promote secure coding practices through targeted guidance and training.

Requirements

  • Proficiency developing in at least one programming language; Tailscale uses Go.
  • Proficiency developing for at least one application platform such as iOS, Android, web, Windows, macOS, or Linux.
  • Prior experience in a safety-related technical role, such as application security, platform security, penetration testing, threat modeling, UX design or research, or digital forensics and incident response.
  • Deep understanding of web application vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10, client-side security, and common API security flaws.
  • Knowledge of cryptographic primitives and protocols.
  • Knowledge of common networking protocols.
  • Ability to give and process constructive feedback.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
  • Flexibility to adapt to the dynamic nature of a startup.
  • Experience taking a risk-based approach to security controls and balancing security expertise with practical, usable solutions.

Benefits

  • Base salary plus equity, with salary ranges disclosed for transparency.
  • Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period, including health, vision, and dental coverage for employees and their families.
  • Remote-first work environment with flexibility to work from wherever there is Wi-Fi, plus access to virtual and in-person social events.
  • $1,500 USD annually for professional development, plus mentorship, coaching, and internal promotion opportunities.
  • Flexible paid time off to support personal needs and work-life integration.
  • Home office support, including a company-owned laptop, monthly home internet reimbursement, and $1,000 USD to customize your workstation.
  • Generous parental leave top-ups for up to 26 weeks, available from the first day.
  • Annual company retreat, team off-sites, and intentional in-person collaboration opportunities.
