Remote-first and globally distributed, we work with companies like Nasdaq, Doordash, and Elastic to secure infrastructure for an AI world. About The Role We are looking for our first Data Engineer to build Teleport's internal data platform.

What You'll Do Design and build data pipelines that ingest data from a variety of internal sources into a central warehouse. Design data models and schemas that are performant, well-documented, and can evolve as our data and questions change. Build data quality checks and validation into every stage of the pipeline so that bad data fails loudly instead of quietly reaching downstream tables. Handle sensitive data responsibly, including access control, redaction, and retention policy for data containing customer or user information. Partner with stakeholders across the company to scope new data sources and analytical tables, and help them get self-serve access to the data they need.

Knowledge of Airflow, dbt, or similar tools. How We Hire Our process is designed to be straightforward and respectful of your time. We skip performative rounds and focus on what matters: understanding how you think and what you can do. For this role, we use a take-home challenge that mirrors real work at Teleport — on your time, your way. You'll have support from the team throughout. Zoom meeting with a Teleport recruiter. You’ll learn about the company, our products, compensation philosophy, interview process, and key requirements. Zoom meeting with the Hiring Manager. The Hiring Manager will walk you through the coding challenge and answer your questions. Coding challenge collaboration. The day after your meeting with the Hiring Manager, you join a Slack channel and complete a coding challenge in SQL / Go using GitHub. The challenge usually takes about 2 weeks and ends with a Zoom meeting with the Hiring Manager and a member of the interview team to review your solution. If your challenge solution meets our bar, you'll receive an offer to join Teleport.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN
That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
