About Tailscale
Tailscale builds software that makes it easy to connect and secure devices, no matter where they are. Every day, banks and multinational companies use Tailscale to protect their corporate networks. Hobbyists and start-ups trust Tailscale to collaborate and share access to tooling. We're building a future for the Internet that's easy, small and safe, like it used to be. Founded in 2019 and fully distributed, we're backed by Accel, HeavyBit, and Uncork Capital.

We’re seeking a skilled and diligent 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 related services.
• 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.

Because we’re an early-stage and fully remote company, we’re looking for a strongly 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:

• Experience with one or more applications front-end ecosystems
• Web front-end development in React and Typescript, with a strong grasp of HTML/CSS fundamentals
• Working with UX Researchers, Product Managers, and Designers to define the user experience.
• MacOS and iOS using Swift
• Windows using Win32
• Android using Java or Kotlin

Additionally:

• Most of the non-front-end portions of the system are developed in the Go programming language. Experience with Go is a plus.
• Ability to give and process constructive feedback, as well as work independently
• Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup

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

• Take a holistic view of the product, from customer needs to client applications to the admin console
• Work as part of a team of engineers and designers to add features in the Tailscale service

For this position, our target salary range is $145,000 - $265,000 USD (paid in your local currency). As a company, we strive to maintain fair and equitable compensation practices within our team across all roles and all levels.
