Senior Software Engineer, Security

Requirements

• Unified Identity Securing Classic and AI Infrastructure Teleport, the AI Infrastructure Identity Company, prepares organizations for an AI future by establishing a unified identity layer for infrastructure, with humans, machines, workloads, and AI agents secured cryptographically with a hardware root of trust rather than vulnerable credentials.
• This approach was already inefficient, but it fundamentally breaks down in the era of AI.
• AI changes the landscape in three critical ways.
• First, non-human, machine, and AI identities now outnumber human ones, driving massive secrets sprawl while worsening anonymity.
• Second, anonymity is incompatible with AI workloads: these systems are inherently non-deterministic, operate across many services and environments, and therefore require strong identity, continuous trust, and end-to-end visibility to function safely and correctly.
• Third, the non-deterministic nature of AI makes reliability and scalability non-negotiable—systems must be resilient, observable, and with access control guardrails, because failures and unexpected behavior cannot be handled with static controls or manual intervention.
• Finally, real-time intelligence is essential: in fast-moving, AI-driven environments, access decisions must continuously adapt to context, behavior, and system state, rather than relying on static policies defined in advance.
• Teleport addresses the growing gap between today’s cyber and infrastructure security posture and what modern, AI-driven systems actually require.
• As AI systems proliferate, attack surfaces and pathways multiply, giving adversaries unprecedented leverage.
• Security Engineering You will work on problems ranging from cryptography and networking to security automation and AI agents.
• Teleport is an open core project and most of the code you review and write will be open source and written in Go (or Rust).
• You will solve for false positives, detection coverage, and response automation by writing code and building AI agents.
• - Pairing with the Cloud team to deploy service control policies (SCPs) in AWS to prevent undesired configurations.
• - Hunting for vulnerabilities using both traditional scanning tools and LLM / AI tools in innovative and creative ways.
• Requirements - Go or Rust experience - Security
