Job Description

Tailscale is seeking an experienced, highly technical, and commercially driven Solutions Engineer to partner with Sales in establishing and accelerating our business expansion across the APAC region. Based in Singapore, this individual will serve as our founding Solutions Engineer in the region and will report directly into the VP of Customer Engineering.

In this role, you will co-own a regional book of business with AE’s, driving complex multi-stakeholder deals, uncovering core organizational pain points, and engineering robust solution architectures. Beyond direct sales engagement, you will be a critical anchor for building out technical engagement across the region and collaborating closely with other newly emerging customer-facing technical teams in Singapore, such as Customer Support. This position sits at the center of technical depth and sharp commercial acumen with a mission to translate platform features into long-term customer trust and measurable business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Act as the pioneering technical voice for Tailscale in APAC, cultivating market presence, initiating customer engagement frameworks, and defining regional technical execution strategies.
  • Partner closely with AEs to identify, qualify, design, and close new commercial opportunities, managing the regional pipeline effectively to hit and exceed quota outcomes.
  • Lead discovery workshops, deliver tailor-made product demonstrations, and manage technical POCs that resolve technical objections and shorten sales cycles.
  • Engage in direct R&D activities such as writing code, developing custom tool integrations, and contributing fixes or features directly back to Tailscale's core product to solve deep technical barriers for strategic regional customers.
  • Document and synthesize critical field insights, architectural trends, and regional product requirements to provide structured feedback that informs product, engineering, and GTM strategies.
  • Build reusable demo environments, solution blueprints, technical whitepapers, and objection-handling documentation to uplevel the global Solutions Engineering organization.
  • Collaborate with adjacent customer-facing technical teams simultaneously building out in Singapore to ensure tight feedback loops, consistent service delivery; partnering together to actively establish and anchor Tailscale’s company culture in the region.

What We Are Looking For

  • 4-5+ years of experience in a customer-facing Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, or Solutions Architect capacity supporting high-growth networking, security, or enterprise cloud software platforms.
  • Proven success navigating ambiguity as a founding regional hire or operating within an early-stage, high-growth startup culture where process construction and individual ownership are required.
  • Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls) and troubleshooting skills.
  • Comprehensive understanding of zero-trust networking, secure connectivity, and IAM integrations (SSO, SAML, OIDC).
  • Hands-on experience designing, provisioning, or troubleshooting infrastructure within major cloud environments (AWS, GCP, and/or Azure) and container environments (Docker, k8s).
  • Technical storytelling capacity, with an ability to link technical architectural decisions directly to strategic customer/business outcomes, and executive value propositions.
  • Outgoing communicator with strong interpersonal skills, capable of syncing seamlessly across fully distributed global engineering teams and regional sales groups.

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.

Frequently cited statistics show that people who identify with historically marginalized groups are likely to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. We encourage you to help us break that statistic!

What We Offer

  • An inclusive, flexible environment where you can be your authentic self. We recognize the impact of diverse voices and backgrounds on the growth of our people, product, and company. And that flexibility in how and when you work empowers our team to integrate work and life.
  • A competitive total compensation package. This includes a base salary, an equity incentive plan and variable commission (for quota-based roles).
  • Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period. Take advantage of coverage for health, vision, dental, and more for you and your family!
  • Remote first company—most of our teams work fully remotely. Enjoy a change of scenery wherever you can get wifi, participate in virtual and in-person social events, and leverage our corporate co-working program to visit WeWork (or other similar spaces near you). Some roles require in-office collaboration depending on team needs, which will be clearly noted in the job description.
  • Connect with other Tailscalars IRL. Attend our annual company retreat, participate in team off-sites, and collaborate in person with teammates across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. We support intentional in-person connection through team travel and distributed collaboration.
  • Support for your personal and professional development. Grow your career thoughtfully with $1500 USD annually for professional development, or take advantage of mentorship, coaching, and internal promotion opportunities. 
  • Paid time off and a healthy work-life integration. Our flexible, paid time off program supports you for any situation life throws your way, whether moving homes or travelling the world! 
  • A build-your-own home office setup. You choose your own company-owned laptop (Mac or PC), receive a monthly home internet reimbursement, and $1000 USD to customize your workstation to make it your own. 
  • Generous parental leave program from your first day. We care about your life outside of work and encourage new parents to take advantage of parental leave top-ups for up to 26 weeks.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
