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 be comfortable working on low-level infrastructure, specifically managing how client software handles networking challenges like NAT traversal, encrypted transports (WireGuard), and connection orchestration. Since Tailscale is a fully distributed company, they are looking for someone who thrives in an asynchronous, remote-first environment. The compensation is highly competitive ($163k–$226k) and comes with a robust "remote-first" perk package, including a $1,000 home office stipend, internet reimbursement, and 26 weeks of parental leave from day one. You’ll also get a $1,500 annual professional development budget and the chance to work on a product loved by both hobbyists and enterprises. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have extensive experience shipping production-grade **Go** code in a distributed systems context. * Geek out over networking fundamentals like **TCP/UDP, routing, and P2P** connectivity. * Prefer working in an **async-heavy culture** where written communication and documentation are highly valued. * Want to build tools that prioritize privacy, security, and "it just works" usability.
