• Bring a special focus on front-end engineering both for web properties and for client applications running on user devices. Expertise with multiple front-end ecosystems (listed below) is a strong plus, but if you primarily specialize in only one of these we’d still encourage you to apply.

Additionally:

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

• Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup

• Most of the non-front-end portions of the system are developed in the Go programming language. Experience with Go is a plus.

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
