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 canât 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.

Get to use (and know) Teleport through our unique interview process
At Teleport, we do things a bit differently. And when we say we only hire top talent, we actually mean it. Because of this, our interview process is different too - and weâre proud of it. We let your work do the talking. We donât go in for six rounds of interviews, live whiteboard or live-coding. We donât hire people that can talk a good game. We only want the best. And for that, we need to see what you can do, in your own time, in your own way. For real.
But interviews are a two-way street. Through the project, youâll get a real taste of life at Teleport, including:
Weâre flexible - youâll have plenty of time to complete your project, if life gets in the way, thatâs ok. We can - work around you.
We give you autonomy - youâll have the space and freedom to figure things out, make decisions, and problem-solve.
Weâre collaborative - Got questions?
We have answers. Youâll have support from your team - the one youâll be working with day in day out if youâre successful in getting the role.
We progress careers - During the project, see how much you learn. Thatâs what working at Teleport is like. We like learning, on the job. All-the-time.
We can move fast (if you can) - two weeks sound like a long time? No problem? Early submissions are fine, and weâll keep the process moving.
Think youâve got what it takes? Weâd love to see it! Unconvinced? We can guarantee three things:
Itâll challenge you.
You'll learn a lot.
If you love the process, you'll love working at Teleport.
