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.
- You will develop a strong understanding of our cloud and corporate infrastructure and use that knowledge to find gaps in our security posture.
- REQUIREMENTS - Strong AWS security
- experience - Red team / offensive security experience - Go or Rust experience a plus - GCP experience a plus The
Benefits
- Our Vision Today's computing environments have too much complexity, too many network boundaries, and too little trust.
- benefits and perks to convince you to join their company, we believe your career is more important than that.
Additional details
- By replacing fragmented identity and access management systems with Infrastructure Identity, Teleport scales zero trust across cloud and on-prem environments, eliminating the complexity and risk created by identity fragmentation and credential sprawl.
- Teleport protects infrastructure from identity attacks, accelerates engineering by reducing infrastructure complexity, and secures non-deterministic agentic workflows.
- Headquartered in Oakland, CA, Teleport operates globally, with industry-leading customers such as Nasdaq, IBM, Doordash, and Elastic.
- Complexity slows engineers down and leads to human errors.
- Complex systems can’t be secure despite the red tape of bureaucracy.
- This gives engineers the freedom to move and build a better future.
- Why Teleport Teleport addresses the overlooked intersection between cybersecurity and infrastructure—an area companies have historically tried to manage through a fragmented mix of tools like PAM, network-centric controls, and fragmented secrets management.
- Solving this problem requires a fundamentally different approach: a unified identity layer that spans machines, workloads, humans, and agents.
- Identity becomes the security control plane that replaces network location and long-lived secrets as the basis of trust.
- Ephemeral privileges are critical in this model—privileges must be granted just-in-time, limited to the task at hand, and automatically expire, dramatically reducing blast radius in systems where behavior cannot be fully predicted.
