General Interest Application

Smallstep is an internationally distributed, remote-first company. We work reasonable, flexible hours and utilize technology to accomplish goals asynchronously. We look for folks who are thoughtful, can break down problems, and often work independently. You are trusted to work on your own and to ask for help when blocked. At Smallstep you get the benefit of working with a tight-knit team across many areas and contribute directly to the success of the organization.

Security is a core responsibility for all employees at Smallstep. All roles are expected to strictly adhere to our security policies, procedures, and best practices to protect company assets, customer data, and systems. All employees must remain vigilant, report potential security concerns, and participate in ongoing security training to ensure compliance with industry standards.

You may be a good fit at Smallstep if:

• You believe distributed systems deserve great security out-of-the-box

• You want to be part of the paradigm shift to move past network perimeter security

• You love open-source software and developer communities

• You are collaborative, self-aware, and results-driven

• You like to work independently and autonomously but are able to speak up when blocked

• You like making impactful contributions and enjoy helping others do the same

• You want to work in a fast-growing startup with excellent investors

• You deserve a competitive salary and excellent benefits

• Interest or passion to evangelize through speaking & writing (nice to have)

• Current salary range $50,000 - $250,000 USD based on role & experience

We believe in action-based empathy. We actively work to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued as teammates and contributors. We know a diverse team is essential to create a vibrant and inclusive culture that fosters a true sense of belonging. By embracing the unique talents and perspectives of our entire team, we approach challenges in ways that a monocultural team simply cannot.

We’re committed to building a self-aware group that is collaborative and results- driven, representing a variety of skills, backgrounds, and lived experiences. We believe everyone deserves a competitive salary, industry leading benefits, the ability to share in the company’s success, and the psychological safety to be their truest selves at work.
