People Business Partner at Tailscale

This role is designed for a seasoned HR professional with a minimum of 8 years of experience, specifically featuring at least 4 years in high-growth startup environments. The ideal candidate has a strong background in "vibe-to-systems" transitions—someone who can navigate the ambiguity of a scaling tech company while building out structured programs for performance management, career leveling, and manager coaching. The position offers a highly competitive salary range ($129k–$177k) for a fully remote, mid-to-senior level role. Tailscale stands out with its "remote-first" culture that still prioritizes "in real life" connection through retreats and co-working stipends. Notable perks include a $1,500 professional development budget, a $1,000 home office allowance, and an impressive 26 weeks of parental leave starting on day one. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have successfully scaled people programs in a fast-paced US, Canadian, or UK-based startup. * Are comfortable acting as both a high-level strategic advisor to leadership and a tactical "doer" for employee relations. * Excel at translating raw data from stay/exit interviews into actionable organizational changes. * Prefer a distributed work environment but value occasional travel for intentional team connection.
