TeleportSan Francisco Bay Area, United Statesfull_timeVerifiedPosted 22 Jan 2025
About the role
We help companies stay secure while moving fast.
Built by engineers for engineers, The Teleport Access Platform delivers on-demand, least privileged access to infrastructure based on cryptographic identity and zero trust, with built-in identity security and policy governance, making the happy path for engineers the secure path.
Teleport is trusted by the world’s fastest-moving companies, including Elastic, Snowflake, Doordash, and NASDAQ. We recently raised US$110M at a US$1.1B valuation.
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 can’t 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.
Why Teleport
At Teleport, we focus on empowering our people to accomplish their goals by working alongside highly talented people to make the most of their careers. You have the freedom, autonomy and trust to do what you’re great at and have a significant impact on the future prospects of the company.
Whether that’s taking a feature or project from ideation to deployment or working with some of the biggest, most interesting companies in the world and solving real challenges for them, we want you to help us build the future.
We’re not a big company. You won’t get lost in a crowd. Instead, we move fast, with a team that wants to make an impact, that shares in our success, and gives you the freedom, power, and autonomy to become the very best at what you do.

The goal of a TAM is to proactively drive these customers to achieve the maximum value from all Teleport products and solutions.
A TAM is a member of our Professional Services team, who is focused on driving maximum adoption, delivering new solutions, and providing account management for customers who have purchased our software product, Teleport. Teleport is a distributed networking and security system supporting SSH, Desktops, Kubernetes, Databases, and Applications.

You will collaborate with internal teams including Product, Sales, Engineering, and Support to deliver integrated solutions and drive customer satisfaction. As our company grows, and we launch new offerings, the requirements of this position may shift. You should be comfortable with change and have an interest in continually learning and advancing your skillset.
