Chainguard is a company that specializes in building secure container images to enhance software security and compliance. Their products include low-to-zero CVE container images, which are updated daily to maintain security and compliance standards such as FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, PCI-DSS, SOC2, and CIS benchmarks. Chainguard focuses on reducing vulnerabilities, automating compliance, and supporting development workflows without compromising on innovation and productivity. The company serves a wide range of industries, including highly regulated sectors, by providing hardened image solutions to mitigate software supply chain risks and enhance application security.

📋 Description

• Operate and sustain Chainguard’s technology platforms (cloud, IAM, and AI) • Help implement and maintain access controls, identity policies, and authentication/authorization systems • Support the hardening and monitoring of cloud infrastructure alongside senior cloud architects • Assist in securing AI/ML pipelines and agentic workflows as they scale across the company • Troubleshoot, automate, and maintain systems using solid IT administration or software engineering skills • Document processes and contribute to runbooks, playbooks, and internal knowledge-sharing • Adapt to shifting priorities and pick up new tools or systems as the company's needs evolve • Learn and apply security best practices under the guidance of senior engineers, with room to specialize over time

🎯 Requirements

• Airtight IT administration skills and/or software development background — this is a must-have foundation for the role • Hands-on experience in at least one of the following: IAM, AI/ML infrastructure, or cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) • Security experience or working knowledge is a plus, not a requirement — we're looking for strong fundamentals and a genuine desire to grow into security • Comfort with scripting, automation, and a troubleshooting mindset • Outstanding interpersonal skills — you'll be supporting engineers across multiple teams, so clear communication and collaboration matter as much as technical chops • Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change — this is a fast-moving, late-stage startup environment • A team-first mentality — someone who's eager to learn, shares context generously, and is motivated by helping teammates succeed

🏖️ 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.
