Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join the design team at Tailscale. You will work closely with product managers and engineers across our cross-functional teams, focused on the experience of IT administrators, DevOps engineers, and security professionals who use Tailscale to build and manage their organization's network. Your work will center on helping these users set up, monitor, and troubleshoot their tailnets. Your job is to make that process feel as clear and reliable as the product underneath it.

The work varies in scale and shape. Some projects are well-defined with a clear user problem to solve. Others are improvements to existing features, small cleanup tweaks, or interaction problems that have been on the backlog for a while. You're comfortable moving between those contexts, bringing the same care and curiosity to a focused UI fix as you would to a larger, more open-ended challenge.

Tailscale's design team is small and the company is growing fast. That means the work doesn't always arrive in neat packages. You might be deep in a multi-month project one week and pulled in to help unblock something urgent the next. People who thrive here are comfortable with technical subject matter, curious about how things work under the hood, and don't need a lot of scaffolding to figure out what to do next.

Key Responsibilities

• Own discovery and design on problems that don't always come with a clear brief, from early framing through delivery and QA.
• Work closely with engineers and PMs to move from a fuzzy problem to something well-reasoned and shippable.
• Deliver across surfaces, GUI and CLI alike, and stay engaged through implementation, not just handoff.
• Treat feedback as part of the work, not a checkpoint. Seek it out from peers, your team, and your manager, and use it to make the work better.
• Take initiative in how you collaborate and push for clarity, even on projects you're not leading.
• Understand the product areas you touch well enough to know when a decision has implications beyond the immediate problem.
• Use AI tools where they actually help, synthesizing research, exploring directions faster, pressure-testing ideas.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that shows you've owned complex work end-to-end, not just executed on it
• Experience with technically sophisticated B2B or infrastructure products. You're comfortable going deep on a domain and know how to lead discovery without waiting for a problem to be handed to you
• A real point of view on users and product quality, and the confidence to act on it
• At ease working alongside engineers and PMs who care a lot about how things actually work
• A clear, direct writer. You can explain a design decision to an engineer and a stakeholder without producing two different documents
• You run your own workload well, can shift between projects as priorities change, and don't need someone else to tell you what matters
• Experienced working distributed and async, and good at it

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Tailscale, or working familiarity with networking concepts such as DNS, VPNs, proxies, or traffic routing
• Experience designing for developer or IT administrator audiences
• Data-informed design practice including behavioral analytics or experimentation
• Fluency with AI tools as part of your design workflow and curiosity about where AI-assisted experiences fit in technical products

As a company, we strive to maintain fair and equitable compensation practices within our team across all roles and all levels. Tailscale's compensation package includes base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The salary range displayed on each job posting represents the target range for a new hire's base salary. Individual offers may vary based on experience and skill set.

Job Description

We are looking for a Staff Product Designer to join the design team at Tailscale. You will primarily partner with the Network Features team, which owns one of the most technically complex and strategically important surfaces in the product: how traffic finds its destination, how networks are segmented and connected, and how operators control that behavior at scale.

That spans a wide range. On the user-facing side, Admin users orchestrate their networks by configuring settings related to: subnet routing, exit nodes, App Connectors, Services, and DNS. On the infrastructure side, you’ll interface with topics like: traffic steering, high availability, DERP servers, and cloud networking primitives. These are not features with obvious consumer analogues. The users are network engineers, IT administrators, and developers building on top of Tailscale, and the problems they bring are genuinely hard to make simple.

At the staff level, scope is not handed to you. You will define where design attention is needed across this space, lead discovery on problems that don't yet have clear answers, and shape product direction alongside your engineering and PM partners. A significant part of that work is translation: taking abstract technical systems and surfacing the design problems hidden inside them clearly enough that engineers, PMs, and stakeholders can align on what to solve and why. Diagramming, system mapping, and other artifacts that make complexity legible are tools you reach for naturally, not as documentation but as a way of driving shared understanding and unblocking decisions. Your influence will extend beyond your immediate projects, affecting how the broader design team approaches craft, process, and product thinking.

You will report to the product design manager and work closely with a team of five product designers and one design researcher. Most of your time will be spent embedded with the Network Features team, with some involvement in wider design team or product initiatives.

People who do well here are genuinely curious about networking and security, comfortable going deep on technically complex domains, and fluent working asynchronously with highly technical teammates.

Key Responsibilities

• Define where design attention is needed across the network features product space and lead discovery on complex, ambiguous problems that often span multiple features or product areas.
• Translate abstract technical systems into clear problem frames, using diagramming, system mapping, and design artifacts to build shared understanding and drive alignment across engineering, product, and other stakeholders,
• Deliver design solutions end-to-end as needed, whether that means changes to a GUI, a CLI experience, or both, working closely with engineers through implementation and QA.
• Explore forward-looking design questions in spaces that do not yet have clear owners or established answers.
• Partner closely with engineering and PM counterparts to move from ambiguous problem statements to clear, well-reasoned solutions.
• Raise the bar for craft and quality across your team and contribute to how the broader design organization approaches process and product thinking.
• Translate insights from user research, behavioral data, and your own product knowledge into design direction.
• Bring AI tools into your workflow in practical ways, whether for research synthesis, rapid prototyping, or solution exploration, and develop a point of view on where AI-assisted experiences belong in technically complex products.

What We Are Looking For

• 10+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time operating at the staff level or equivalent scope
• Strong portfolio demonstrating experience with technically sophisticated B2B or infrastructure products, and a track record of leading discovery on problems without waiting for scope to be defined
• A developed point of view on users and product direction, with evidence of using that perspective to influence roadmap and strategy across engineering and product teams
• Genuine interest in the networking and security space and comfort engaging with technically complex subject matter
• Strong written communication and an ability to articulate design decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical partners
• Ease working in a distributed, asynchronous environment with highly technical teammates

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Tailscale, or working familiarity with networking concepts such as DNS, VPNs, proxies, or traffic routing
• Hands-on experience with cloud native deployment infrastructure (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, etc)
• Experience designing for developer or IT administrator audiences
• Data-informed design practice including behavioral analytics or experimentation
• Fluency with AI tools as part of your design workflow and curiosity about where AI-assisted experiences fit in technical products

Job Description

We’re looking for a Brand Designer with strong web and UX sensibilities to help shape how Tailscale shows up across our digital experiences.

This is a hands-on role for someone who cares deeply about craft, but also understands that great design is measured by how it performs. You’ll design and iterate on key web experiences, from landing pages to campaign surfaces, balancing brand expression with usability, clarity, and conversion.

You’ll work closely with web, growth, and content teams to create experiences that feel cohesive, intuitive, and distinctly Tailscale. This role is ideal for a designer who can move fluidly between visual design and UX thinking, and who enjoys seeing their work come to life in production.

Key Responsibilities

Design high-quality web experiences

• Design landing pages, feature pages, and campaign experiences that are visually compelling and easy to use.
• Apply strong hierarchy, layout, and interaction thinking to improve clarity and user flow.
• Balance brand expression with usability and performance goals.

• Maintains organized component and asset libraries that scale across the team, enabling others to easily adopt and build on established systems.

Support experimentation and iteration

• Collaborate with the growth team on testing and improving page performance.
• Thoughtfully iterate on designs based on data, feedback, and evolving priorities.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve user experience across key journeys.

Collaborate cross-functionally

• Partner closely with web developers to ensure designs translate cleanly into production with minimal to no rework.
• Work with marketing and content teams to bring campaigns and narratives to life across multiple platforms: print, digital, and motion.
• Clearly and confidently explain design rationale and tradeoffs, understanding when to compromise and when to stand firm in design decisions.
• Proactively communicate: share project status updates without prompting and provide timely, constructive, and actionable feedback on others’ work as needed.

What We Are Looking For

Strong brand and web design skills

• 3-6+ years of experience in brand, marketing, or web design
• Strong grasp of design fundamentals: typography, layout, color, balance, and hierarchy
• Experience designing landing pages, marketing pages, or UI components for modern responsive or adaptive layouts

UX awareness and digital thinking

• Ability to apply UX principles like usability, information hierarchy, and interaction patterns
• Comfortable thinking about how design decisions impact user behavior and outcomes
• Experience working on websites, landing pages, or digital campaigns

Technical and executional strength

• Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and AfterEffects), and Google Slides
• Strong attention to detail and organized file management (clean layers and labeled components make us very happy)
• Experience working within or alongside design systems
• Ability to deliver polished, production-ready designs and collaborate effectively cross-departments
• Solid understanding of accessibility and inclusive design principles
• Experience in print production, with an understanding of technical requirements and executional standards across out-of-home, events, and swag/merch applications

Communication and collaboration

• Excellent communication skills, especially when working remotely and asynchronously
• Ability to clearly present work and explain design decisions
• Ability to take direction, ask clarifying questions, and thoughtfully incorporate feedback while maintaining design integrity
• Consistently meets or beats deadlines, demonstrating increased trust, reliability, and ownership

Nice to Have

• Experience working on high-growth marketing or product websites
• Experience working on a remote or globally distributed team
• Familiarity with experimentation or A/B testing workflows
• Experience partnering closely with developers on implementation
• Interest in developer tools, infrastructure, or technical products

Job Description

We are seeking a talented and motivated full-time Procurement Manager to build and own Tailscale's procurement function, reporting into our VP of Finance. As our first dedicated procurement hire, you'll create lightweight, scalable processes and systems that help teams buy the software and services they need while maintaining strong commercial discipline and appropriate legal, security, and financial controls. You’ll manage procurement requests end-to-end – from intake and sourcing through negotiation, contracting, and renewal management, and partner closely with Legal, Security, Finance, and internal buyers across the company. At Tailscale, small teams solve concrete problems and build systems that "just work," so we're looking for someone who can bring that same mindset to procurement: high judgment, strong ownership, and durable processes that support growth without adding unnecessary overhead.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and own Tailscale's procurement function, including intake, policy, approval paths, vendor governance, and operating rhythms for software, SaaS, cloud, data, and professional services spend.
• Manage procurement requests from intake to signature, prioritizing across competing asks and aligning stakeholders on requirements and timelines.
• Lead all vendor negotiations directly: pricing, order forms, SLAs, SOWs, renewals, and key commercial terms, with the goal of securing the best possible outcomes for Tailscale.
• Partner closely with Legal and Security, and where relevant Finance, IT, Privacy, and business owners, to coordinate contract review, security/privacy diligence, risk assessment, and approvals.
• Design and implement scalable tooling and systems for procurement intake, contract and renewal tracking, approval routing, and reporting, plus the playbooks and templates that drive consistency.
• Own vendor lifecycle management, including renewal planning, usage review, supplier performance, and opportunities for consolidation or cost optimization.

What We Are Looking For

• 6+ years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, vendor management, or technology purchasing, ideally in SaaS or other high-growth technology environments.
• Proven success building procurement processes, policies, and tooling from scratch and operating them independently—you've created structure where none existed.
• Strong experience negotiating SaaS, cloud, data, and professional services agreements, including pricing structures, order forms, SLAs, SOWs, and renewals.
• Ability to partner credibly with Legal, Security, Finance, IT, and business stakeholders, including working knowledge of vendor due diligence, security questionnaires, and privacy/compliance considerations.
• Strong analytical and financial skills, including the ability to evaluate total cost of ownership, benchmark pricing, manage renewals, and identify savings opportunities.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills, with a service-minded approach that makes procurement an enabler rather than a bottleneck, and the judgment to know when more process is needed and when less is better.

Tailscale's compensation package includes base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The salary range displayed on each job posting represents the target range for a new hire's base salary.

Reporting to the CSE Team Lead, you will sit at the intersection of Pre-sales, Support, and Product with the mission of value attainment for our customers. You will manage a high volume of accounts across commercial and enterprise segments, guiding them through the critical first 30 days of their journey. This is a high-impact, technical role designed for someone with intellectual curiosity, empathy, strong networking fundamentals, and a passion for helping customers solve complex connectivity/security challenges with Tailscale. You will ensure that Tailscale becomes a foundational part of our customers’ infrastructure from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end technical onboarding journey for a high volume of accounts, with a relentless focus on ensuring customers reach Time To Value (TTV) in under 30 days.
• Provide hands-on guidance for technical configurations, including Identity Provider (IdP) integration, Tailnet administration, ACL policy definition, and MDM deployments.
• Partner closely with AEs and SEs to ingest technical requirements from the pre-sales cycle and ensure a seamless transition to active usage.
• Act as a critical feedback loop for the Product and Engineering teams by identifying recurring friction points or bugs during the onboarding phase and advocating for fixes.
• Maintain rigorous data hygiene within sales (SFDC) and CSP tooling to provide visibility into onboarding completion rates, TTV, and overall customer health metrics.
• Bridge the gap between initial setup and long-term support by facilitating clean handoffs to the Support and Post-sales teams once adoption milestones are met.
• Define and refine onboarding success metrics, including the development of post-onboarding surveys and in-product adoption targets.

What We Are Looking For

• 2–4+ years of experience in a technical, customer-facing role such as Technical Support, Implementation, or Solutions Engineering
• Strong foundational knowledge of networking concepts including the OSI model, DNS, routing, and VPN operations (experience with Tailscale preferred)
• Proficiency in installing software across diverse operating systems, including Linux, Windows, macOS, and iOS/Android (experience with Mobile Device Management is a plus)
• Strong skills in diagnosing, troubleshooting, and resolving issues related to networking
• Ability to read and modify JSON or YAML configs for ACL and Kubernetes deployments
• Exceptional organizational skills with a proven ability to manage a high volume of concurrent tasks across multiple revenue segments without compromising quality
• Clear and empathetic communication style, with the ability to translate complex networking concepts into actionable steps for technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
• A builder’s mindset, meaning you enjoy solving technical puzzles and are motivated by seeing a customer successfully deploy a solution you helped architect

As a company, we strive to maintain fair and equitable compensation practices within our team across all roles and all levels. Tailscale's compensation package includes base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The salary range displayed on each job posting represents the target range for a new hire's base salary. Individual offers may vary based on experience and skill set.
