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.
- Teleport is a distributed networking and security system supporting SSH, Desktops, Kubernetes, Databases, and Applications.
- Our team trusts in their ability to make decisions that benefit the company and its customers, letting their work speak for itself. - Security-minded: Working on the very fabric of the internet and providing infrastructure access to some of the world’s biggest companies means you need to think security-first.
- experience in customer-facing software onboarding, software services, solution architecting, or system administration roles - Linux administration skills - Hands-on
- experience with one of the major public cloud providers; AWS, GCP, Azure.
- Certifications are a plus! - A strong understanding of Kubernetes and prior hands-on experience.
- Certification with CKA or CKAD is a plus! - Demonstrable
