Description

We’re seeking a talented and motivated full-time Software Engineer to join our growing team. You will work as part of the engineering team to:

  • Develop the Tailscale product, contributing to client code and backend services. The client code is a mix of Swift and Go, while the backend is mostly Go. Prior Go expertise is not a requirement.

  • Bring a special focus on Apple platforms, especially networking functionality of the platforms.

Because we’re an early-stage and fully remote company, we’re looking for a motivated individual who can help move the product forward. The ability to think on your feet, collaborate with highly technical teams, and comfort working asynchronously are essential.

Qualifications and Skills:

  • macOS and iOS development expertise

    • Network Extension and routing table shenanigans

    • Cross-target code sharing and multiple application signing schemes

    • Battery life investigation and improvement

    • Intents and integrations with other software on the device

    • MDM integration, Profile support, fleet management

    • Providing support for the latest Apple platform features while maintaining compatibility with a reasonable subset of older systems

Additionally:

  • Ability to give and process constructive feedback, as well as work independently

  • Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup

  • Experience developing in Go, used for much of the system. Previous experience in #golang makes ramping up quicker

With the team, you’ll succeed with these sorts of goals

  • Work as part of a team of engineers and designers to add features in the Tailscale service

  • Take a holistic view of the product, from customer needs to client applications to the admin console
