Principal Field Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

We help companies stay secure while moving fast.

Built by engineers for engineers, The Teleport Access Platform delivers on-demand, least privileged access to infrastructure based on cryptographic identity and zero trust, with built-in identity security and policy governance, making the happy path for engineers the secure path.

Teleport is trusted by the world’s fastest-moving companies, including Elastic, Snowflake, Doordash, and NASDAQ. We recently raised US$110M at a US$1.1B valuation.

Our Vision

Today's computing environments have too much complexity, too many network boundaries, and too little trust. Complexity slows engineers down and leads to human errors. Complex systems can’t be secure despite the red tape of bureaucracy. We make trusted computing simple. This gives engineers the freedom to move and build a better future.

Why Teleport

At Teleport, we focus on empowering our people to accomplish their goals by working alongside highly talented people to make the most of their careers. You have the freedom, autonomy and trust to do what you’re great at and have a significant impact on the future prospects of the company.

Whether that’s taking a feature or project from ideation to deployment or working with some of the biggest, most interesting companies in the world and solving real challenges for them, we want you to help us build the future.

We’re not a big company. You won’t get lost in a crowd. Instead, we move fast, with a team that wants to make an impact, that shares in our success, and gives you the freedom, power, and autonomy to become the very best at what you do.

As a member of the Teleport Customer Solutions Team, you will be responsible for implementing, supporting, evangelizing, and expanding Teleport at our top customers throughout the entire customer lifecycle. As a TAM, you will be dedicated to proactively driving adoption so that our customers achieve the maximum value from all Teleport products and solutions.

You will work directly with our customers to help design solution architecture, deploy and configure Teleport hands-on, relay implementation best practices, provide triage and debugging of technical issues, develop and maintain training programs, evangelize the solution to a wider customer organization, and plan and assist with an enterprise-wide organizational rollout of the Teleport solution. You will act as a customer champion within Teleport and provide and help prioritize product feedback by working with the Teleport product team.

As a TAM, you will be the primary lead to identify and provide initial triage of technical blockers via shared chat, ticket, and meetings. As our company grows, and we launch new offerings, the requirements of this position may shift. You should be comfortable with change and have an interest in continually learning and advancing your skillset.

Who you are - To succeed at Teleport and take your career into the future, we are looking for people who are :

• Autonomous : We value those who take initiative and get things done. 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. Our platform is the gatekeeper - The Wall. And winter is coming. We need to ensure we’re secure.
• Business-savvy : We don’t code for coding's sake. We build for our customers. Designed by engineers for engineers, we understand their environment, challenges and needs better than anyone else. That means we have built a business that can support them by making the right choices that ensure we are in business for the long haul.
• Professional : We are a team of dedicated professionals, committed to excellence. We set a high bar for joining Teleport, ensuring we attract top talent ready to help shape the future. If you’re passionate about being the best at what you do, Teleport is the place for you
