Nice to have Experience with Kubernetes APIs. Significant contributions in Open Source. How We Hire Our process is designed to be straightforward and respectful of your time. We skip performative rounds and focus on what matters: understanding how you think and what you can do.

the team throughout. Zoom meeting with a Teleport recruiter. You’ll learn

requirements. Zoom meeting with the Hiring Manager. The Hiring Manager will walk you through the coding challenge and answer your questions. Coding challenge collaboration. The day after your meeting with the Hiring Manager, you join a Slack channel and complete a coding challenge in Go using GitHub.

If your challenge solution meets our bar, you'll receive an offer to join Teleport. Why Teleport You're joining a company where the problem is real,
