Sr. Software Engineer

The Machine & Workload Identity team at Teleport is on a mission to eliminate long-lived secrets for non-human identities. Today, machines, workloads, and AI agents routinely authenticate using static credentials that are difficult to rotate, easy to leak, and impossible to audit. We replace them with short-lived cryptographic credentials, built on workload attestation and open standards like SPIFFE.

We're looking for a Senior Backend (Go) engineer to join the team. You will be involved in the entire product development cycle, from working with customers to understand their needs, to writing RFDs for your design ideas, to implementing distributed systems in Go. You will work closely with other engineers, product managers, and security researchers to design features that securely deliver cryptographic identity to machines, workloads, and AI agents at scale.

You will play a key role in shaping how modern infrastructure access is secured, audited, and managed at scale.

Projects you may work on

• Designing and implementing novel solutions at the cutting edge of Agentic Identity.
• Building tooling to enable customers to efficiently onboard and manage identity for fleets of machines, workloads, and AI agents.
• Developing attestation methods for securely identifying machines, workloads, and AI agents without the need for secrets.
• Optimizing credential issuance mechanisms to function reliably at the scale of hundreds of thousands of machines.

Requirements

• Go or Rust experience
• Linux systems engineering
• Cryptography engineering experience is a plus
• Experience with SPIFFE is a plus
