Go Core Client Engineer at Tailscale

This role is ideal for a mid-to-senior level backend or systems engineer with deep expertise in **Go**. You should have a background in building distributed systems or client-side infrastructure where reliability and performance are critical. While specific networking knowledge is a "nice to have," the team is looking for someone who can manage complex codebases and take ownership of the entire feature lifecycle, from design to observability. The compensation for this remote Canadian position is exceptionally high, ranging from **$218k to $302k CAD**, plus equity. The company offers a "remote-first" culture with high-end perks, including a $1,000 home office stipend, $1,500 for annual professional development, and a 26-week parental leave top-up starting on day one. It is a rare opportunity to work on highly technical, low-level infrastructure (like WireGuard and NAT traversal) at a fast-growing, well-funded startup. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have extensive experience shipping production-grade Go code in a complex environment. * Are comfortable working asynchronously in a fully distributed, remote setting. * Enjoy debugging low-level systems issues involving concurrency and performance tuning. * Want to build core networking infrastructure that impacts millions of users.
