Golang Job Details

Description

We're seeking a talented and motivated full-time Software Engineer to join our growing team. You will work as part of the engineering team to:

  • Develop the Tailscale product, contributing to client code and backend services. The codebase is mostly Go, and we're seeking someone who has experience in and enjoys writing code in Go.

  • Bring a special focus on developing the Android client. The Android client uses the core VPN codebase in Go, integrated into a Java app interacting with Android frameworks.

Because we're an early-stage and fully remote company, we're looking for a motivated individual who can help move the product forward. The ability to think on your feet, collaborate with highly technical teams, and comfort working asynchronously are essential.

Skillsets of interest

  • Building Android apps in Java (or Kotlin, though the current codebase uses Java for the Android-specific portions of the codebase).

  • Experience with building the Android platform, not only Android applications. We need to interface with DNS configuration and routing tables for the VPN, we need to handle being a Split VPN in ways which the Android VpnBuilder doesn't easily handle. Being familiar with Android platform code is very useful.

Additionally:

  • Experience developing in Go, used for much of the system. Previous experience in #golang makes ramping up quicker.

  • The role will not be exclusively Android development, engineers are encouraged to work across the codebase to grow their skills and understanding of the product. Android is intended to be a healthy portion of the engineering cycles, but not solely Android.

  • Ability to give and process constructive feedback, as well as work independently

  • Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup

With the team, you'll succeed with these sorts of goals

  • Work as part of a team of engineers and designers to add features in the Tailscale service

  • Take a holistic view of the product, from customer needs to client applications to the admin console
