About The Position

We help companies stay secure while moving fast.

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.

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.

As a Senior Partner Solutions Engineer you will be a technical leader within Teleport’s partner ecosystem, responsible for enabling, evangelizing, and scaling Teleport through channel and cloud partners. You will work closely with Partner, Sales, Product, Product Marketing, and Marketing teams to develop repeatable technical motions that help partners confidently position, sell, and deploy Teleport as a modern infrastructure identity platform, displacing legacy infrastructure access and security tools.
