IT Systems Engineer

Teleport is the AI Infrastructure Identity Company. We're solving one of the hardest problems in security: giving every human, machine, workload, and AI agent a cryptographically secured identity, improving engineering velocity while maintaining security. We make trusted computing simple. This gives you the freedom, power, and autonomy to build and innovate with confidence.

Remote-first and globally distributed, we work with companies like Nasdaq, DoorDash, and Elastic to secure infrastructure for an AI world.

Here is why we love this job ourselves, and hope you will enjoy it too:

• We work on a wide range of IT projects including automation, security, networking, and building integrations.
• We value modern IT tooling and novel approaches to traditional problems.
• We prefer working autonomously and asynchronously, proactively identifying and addressing issues, and operating with a builder's mindset.
• We practice thorough code reviews and have an open design process.
• Our products are loved by their users.

Here are the projects you may be working on:

• Administering our core IT stack (Okta, Jamf, Google Workspace, Chrome Enterprise).
• Creating new workflows and integrations both within our IT stack and with other systems and platforms across Teleport.
• Hardening our macOS endpoints and securing our SaaS services.
• Building upon our IT workflow automation tooling written in Go and using Temporal running on Kubernetes.
• Collaborating with the engineering team on dogfooding Teleport, specifically Teleport Identity (identity governance), Teleport Policy (access policies), and Beams (runtime for agentic workflows).
• Governing and securing corporate generative AI usage.
• Providing IT support to internal users as needed.

Requirements:

• Strong knowledge of modern IT platforms such as Okta, Jamf, Google Workspace, Google Chrome Enterprise, Zoom, and Slack.
• Hands-on experience administering and hardening macOS endpoints.
• Deep understanding of corporate IT identity, automation, and security concepts.
• Experience (and a preference for) building with IaC/Terraform and CI/CD with GitOps.
• Scripting experience with shell and object-oriented programming experience.
  • Experience with Go is a plus.
• Experience with Linux systems administration and engineering.
• Willingness and ability to roll up your sleeves and work on traditional IT tasks when needed, such as managing our internal facing helpdesk.

What to expect once you apply:

• You will join a 30-minute intro call where we will walk you through the compensation, interview process, and requirements.
• We’ll invite you to a Slack channel and you’ll work on a coding challenge using Terraform and shell scripts (or Go) on GitHub.
