- Develop features that support a broad range of sign-on options, such as SSO, OAuth2, and SAML
- Work as part of a team of engineers and designers to add features in the Tailscale service
- Take a holistic view of the product, from customer needs to client applications to the admin console
Requirements:
- Experience with authentication/authorization protocols and frameworks such as OAuth2, OIDC, SSO, SAML, and vendors such as Okta/Auth0
- Familiarity with networks (IP addressing, routing, etc)
- Ability to give and process constructive feedback, as well as work independently
- Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup
- Most of the non-front-end portions of the system are developed in the Go programming language. Experience with Go is a plus.
