Staying secure and simple in a complex world

As Tailscale grows, the company faces the dual challenge of expanding its use cases and responsibilities while maintaining simplicity and predictability in its secure networking solutions. The core of Tailscale's product is its ease of use, allowing seamless communication between machines with minimal user intervention. The company recognizes the risk of complexity as they add more enterprise features, and to manage this, they have welcomed Ross Kukulinski as VP of product. Kukulinski's experience in infrastructure and development experience products positions him to help Tailscale control complexity while enhancing its capabilities. His approach involves making careful, deliberate choices to keep the product understandable and efficient, ensuring that Tailscale retains its "magic" by integrating engineering discipline and product restraint. This strategic move aims to continue delivering intuitive and secure networking solutions as the company navigates increasing demands.
