Job Level

About the role

  • Own features end-to-end. From design through implementation, rollout, and iteration in close partnership with Product and our Experience (front-end) team.
  • Navigate ambiguous problems and find a clear path forward. You take initiative rather than waiting for complete specs.
  • Contribute to a product-driven roadmap with real deadlines: help the team prioritize tradeoffs and ship iteratively rather than waiting for perfect.
  • Extend Chainguard's agentic AI foundation into customer-facing product experiences across the full product suite.
  • Bring a strong technical point of view to architectural decisions and a collaborative spirit when working through them with the team.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
  • 10+ years of experience in software development
  • Expertise with containers, artifact registries, Docker, Kubernetes and its greater ecosystem
  • Experience building and securing CI/CD systems
  • Proficiency with Go (Golang) or strong readiness to ramp quickly.
  • Experience with AI tooling and a genuine enthusiasm for applying it to complex problems
  • Enthusiasm to work closely with the Product team and customers to launch new features
  • Strong communication skills, proficiency in English, ability to work autonomously, take initiative, and seek help proactively when necessary.
Benefits
  • Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
  • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
  • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
  • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
  • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
